Abstract: In the electro-optical device for carrying out an image display by using n-bit (n is a natural number) digital image signals, one pixel incorporates n×m (m is a natural number) memory circuits, and has a function to store the digital image signals for m frames in the pixel (in examples shown in the drawings, n=3, m=2, and memory circuits A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 store signals for 3 bits×2 frames). Thus, in the display of a still picture, the digital image signals once stored in the memory circuits are repeatedly read out and a display is carried out for each frame, so that driving of a source signal line driver circuit is stopped during the display. Thus, the electric power consumption of the electro-optical device is reduced.

Abstract: One or more embodiments provide a mobile terminal and a control method for setting a touch ignoring region on a touch screen of the mobile terminal. In the method, the mobile terminal detects a user's grip signal from at least one lateral side thereof.

In embodiments, the mobile terminal checks a gripped state thereof through a sensor and then sets the touch ignoring region. This not only prevents a wrong operation caused by an unintended touch due to a thin bezel of the mobile terminal, but also obviates any inconvenience.
