`
`in the period in which one of the plural scanning lines
`

`
`state during setting of all the plural first switches to an on
`
`

`

`-19-
`
`state so that the first image data is sent on the plural data
`
`lines, and
`
`a part of the plural second switches are set to an
`
`on state after setting of all the plural first switches to an
`
`off state so that the second image data is sent on a part of
`
`the plural data lines.
`
`5. An image display device according to claims 1, wherein the
`
`first image data is static image data, and the second image data
`
`10
`
`is moving image data.
`
`6. An image display device according to claim 1, wherein the
`
`first memory is DRAM.
`
`15
`
`7. An image display device according to claim 1, wherein the
`
`first memory is SRAM.
`
`8. An image display device according to claim 1, wherein the
`
`first memory includes a thin film transistor.
`
`9. An image display device according to claim 1, wherein the
`
`driver includes a digital/analog converter unit converting
`
`distal image signals to analog image signals and outputting the
`
`analog image signals as the second image data.

`
`10. A display device comprising:
`
`a panel section formed on a substrate and including a
`
`plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines across
`
`the plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of pixels provided
`
`at the intersections of the plurality of data lines and the
`
`plurality of scanning lines, a first memory coupled to the
`
`plurality of data lines and storing a first image data; and
`
`a driver connected to the panel section and outputting
`
`a second image data different from the first image data to the
`
`panel section,
`
`wherein while one of the plural scanning lines is
`
`selected, a first part of the plurality of data lines is
`
`supplied the first image data from the first memoryand a second
`
`part of the plurality of data lines different from the first
`
`part of the plurality of data lines is supplied the second image
`
`data from the driver.
`
`11. The display device according to claim 10,
`
`20
`
`wherein the panel section further includes first
`
`switches between the first memory and the plurality of
`
`piurality of data lines and second switches between the driver
`
