The shift register inside the Y-odd electrode and Y-even electrode drive circuit performs a shift operation at the rising edge of the clock signal 9, and as shown in FIG. A clear signal 6 is supplied to Y electrode drive circuits 3 and 4. When SWI is on, the Y electrode group (scanning electrode group) of the display panel 5
A diagram showing the drive waveforms applied to Y1 to Y4 is shown in part a of FIG. At this time, Y1~Y
It can be seen that the drive waveforms VYI to VY4 applied to VY4 are sequentially selected for each electrode, with the pulse waveforms shifting in order from VYI. When SWI is switched from on to off, the clear signal 6 becomes Y1 because the supply to the Y electrode drive circuits 3 and 4 is cut off by game) 10.11.
The drive waveform of ~Y4 is the part b (V'YI~V'
As shown in Y4), Yl and Y2 are selected at the same time,
Subsequently, it can be seen that there is a simultaneous shift to Y3° and Y4. That is, when SWI is on, single electrode scanning method,
When it is off, it becomes a 2-electrode scanning method, and these 2 electrodes are scanned by SWI.
This means that the method has been switched.
