Abstract: An image display apparatus configured by a display panel having an image memory element in a pixel, which achieves low power consumption. A nonvolatile image memory element 1, which can change the resistance value by phase change, is connected to a pixel electrode 25 of a liquid crystal element 5. The output of a thin-film transistor 17 driven by scanning and signal electrode lines 7, 9 is connected to the pixel electrode 25. When the scanning electrode line 7 is selected to have a high level voltage, the thin-film transistor 17 is turned on and a current signal flowing through the signal electrode 9 is sent through the image memory element 1 to a reference electrode line 15. Depending on the current value or pulse width passing through the image memory element 1, the resistance of the image memory element 1 is changed and is stored as a resistance value.

Abstract: There is disclosed a liquid crystal display apparatus having high motion image display performance. After preset writing, polarities are reversed between double and quadruple speeds of a normal speed to carry out writing. Accordingly, en-block black wiring on a full surface of screen and in-frame AC driving are achieved. By combining this with intermittent lighting of an illuminator, high motion image display performance is achieved. Scanning is started from one line or a pair of adjacent lines, one or more lines being present in the screen, and the scanning is carried out in both upper and lower directions with the one line or the pair of adjacent lines set as a reference. Thus, discontinuity of luminance in the screen is prevented, and high display performance is achieved.

Abstract: To provide a display device capable of displaying a moving picture with high definition and at high speed. An image display system includes: an image display unit; and a control unit. The control unit has: a block discrimination circuit portion; an image processing portion; a storage portion; and a synchronizing signal generation portion. The block discrimination circuit portion discriminates a moving picture or a still picture to process the image information in accordance with the discriminated result, in which the number of gradations for the image information processed when the discriminated result is the moving picture is lower than when the discriminated result is the still picture. Thereby, the high definition image display and the high speed moving picture display can be effected by reducing the information with lower degree of recognition.
