The present invention provides a liquid-
crystal display device that is able to reduce EMI,
current consumption, and so forth in an interchip transfer of display data, a timing
signal, and so forth and to provide an appropriate
timing margin. In an interchip transfer of display data, a timing
signal, and so forth that uses a plurality of data drivers, a certain data driver is used as a data driver. When the data driver is used in a first stage, an internal
receiver is made to function as an RSDS
receiver by fixing the IFM terminal at the “H” level. The received RSDS
signal constitutes a
CMOS signal that has been divided into two by the
receiver and is output by the
transmitter. Here, a data inversion signal is generated and output by the
transmitter. When the data driver is used in the second or subsequent stage, the internal receiver is made to function as a
CMOS receiver by fixing the IFM terminal at the “L” level. The received
CMOS signal is output after being subjected to inversion control by means of the data inversion signal by the receiver and
transmitter.
