Patent attributes
There is provided a display device and method which is capable of securing the optimum operation thereof irrespective of an external clock signal. An input circuit receives image data input thereto. First to N-th (N≧2) storage circuits store image data input via the input circuit such that the image data is divided into respective N regions. First to M-th (M≧N) driving circuits drive respective regions M of at least part of the display block formed by dividing the at least part of the display block. An image data supply circuit reads out image data stored in each of the first to N-th storage circuits and supplies the image data to a corresponding one of the driving circuits. A clock signal generation circuit generates a clock signal for enabling image data to be read out from the first to N-th storage circuits and be supplied to the first to M-th driving circuits, in synchronism therewith.
