Patent attributes
As one embodiment a drive circuit is disclosed. When a three-value signal including a value representing zero is input, the drive circuit outputs two two-value signals that drive two drive elements such that the difference between values representing the two two-value signals corresponds to a value representing the input three-value signal. When the value of the input three-value signal represents zero, output signals are determined in accordance with the input history of the three-value signal. The drive circuit may also be provided with a memory that records a flag value that is reversed in accordance with the input history of the input three-value signal, and the combination of the output two two-value signals being determined in accordance with the flag.
