Active-matrix driving device, electrostatic capacitance detection device, and electronic equipment
First Claim
1. A driving device that drives an active matrix where a plurality of row direction lines and a plurality of column direction lines are arranged in a manner of intersecting each other, and an active element selected by one of the row direction lines and one of the column direction lines is disposed at each intersection so as to form a matrix, the driving device comprising:
- a selection device that is coupled to any of the plurality of row direction lines or any of the plurality of column direction lines, a selected state and a non-selected state of the row direction lines or the column direction lines being switched to each other; and
a device that switches to the non-selected state which switches the plurality of row direction lines coupled to the selection device or the plurality of column direction lines coupled to the selection device to a non-selected state simultaneously, selection by the selection device being implemented after the row direction lines coupled to the selection device or the column direction lines coupled to the selection device being switched to a non-selected state by the device that switches to the non-selected state.

Abstract
Aspects of the invention are intended to stabilize the initial state of an active matrix so as to reduce unnecessary power consumption and stabilize the operation. The driving device can include a selection device that is coupled to any of a plurality of row direction lines and any of a plurality of column direction lines, and by which a selected state and a non-selected state of the row direction lines or the column direction lines are switched to each other. The driving device can also include a device that switches to the non-selected state that switches the selection device coupled to the row direction lines or the selection device coupled to the column direction lines to a non-selected state. Selection by the selection device can be implemented after the selection device is switched to a non-selected state by the device that switches to the non-selected state.
