two series of color video signal lines for receiving in a panel two series of input color video signals from outside the panel , a plurality of switching elements for connecting each of the two series of color video signal lines to each data line , and a drive pulse generating circuit which sequentially generates drive pulses for controlling open and close of the plurality of switching elements are provided . odd - numbered drive pulses are applied to switching elements corresponding to a first series of color video signals , and even - numbered drive pulses are applied to switching elements corresponding to a second series of color video signals . for example , when used as a panel for displaying analog video signals , it is sufficient to supply output from a single series of sample hold circuit provided outside the panel to two series of color video signal lines and , when used as a panel for graphics display , it is sufficient to supply output from a sample hold circuit for two series of color video signals to two series of color video signal lines . therefore , it is possible to provide an active matrix panel for displaying both analog video and cg characters .
