Abstract

The present invention realizes a liquid crystal display which mounts driving circuits of low power consumption on a substrate on which a display part is mounted. The driving circuits which supply gray scale voltages to pixels are mounted on a liquid crystal display panel. Display data is transferred between the driving circuits using wiring formed on the liquid crystal display panel, the display data is transferred in the inside of the driving circuits through inner data bus lines, and a data inversion calculation which inverts values of the display data is performed in the inside of the driving circuits for achieving the low power consumption.
