Patent number: 11482185Abstract: A method for driving a display device capable of appropriately performing idle driving even when timing information is not transmitted to a liquid crystal module in advance is provided. In a case where, in one vertical period, a non-scanning period other than a scanning period in which a screen of a display unit is scanned once is set to a pause period, a liquid crystal module delays supply of a data signal to the display unit by a recovery period during which a source driver is recovered from a sleep state to an active state in the pause period.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2018Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuta Tanaka, Kazuo Nakamura, Kazuki Takahashi, Jin Miyazawa
