`
`MHz. The final electrode φH* and RS are also driven at 8
`
`FIG. 1 is a device configuration view for explaining a first
`
`MHz, and no horizontal addition is done. 9X zooming is
`
`drive method according to the present invention.
`
`made possible by this driving.
`
`FIGs. 2 and 3 are timing charts for explaining the first
`
`driving mode.
