Abstract

A display device used in a miniaturized portable equipment is capable of driving two display panels, consisting of main and sub-display panels. The display device includes a main display panel, a sub-display panel and a drive circuit. The drive circuit can simultaneously drive the main display panel and the sub-display panel. Output terminals are provided to the main display panel, and signals are transmitted to the sub-display panel from the output terminals. Further, the drive circuit includes a power source circuit which is capable of outputting proper common voltages to the main display panel and the sub-display panel.

Claims (12)

1. A display device comprising:

a first display panel;

a second display panel;

wiring which connects between the first display panel and the second display panel;

drive circuit which is connected to the first display panel;

output terminals which are mounted on the first display panel and to which signals are supplied from the drive circuit; and

signal wiring which is outputted from the drive circuit, the signal wiring being electrically connected to pixels mounted on the first display panel and being connected to output terminals; wherein

the drive circuit includes a booster circuit,

the booster circuit outputs a first common voltage for the first display panel and a second common voltage for the second display panel, and

the booster circuit is capable of changing magnification for boosting in response to an external signal.

2. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the drive circuit is mounted on an insulating substrate which constitutes the first display panel.

3. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the signal wiring includes first signal wiring which has one end thereof connected to the drive circuit and another end connected to an output wiring and second signal wiring which has one end thereof connected to the drive circuit and another end connected to a wiring capacitance adjusting element.
