The mode setting unit discriminates a moving-image mode and a still-image mode and provides a specific control signal to the inverter control unit in accordance with the discriminated mode. The inverter control unit operates the inverter in either synchronous mode or asynchronous mode by applying or withholding a timing signal to the inverter, in response to the control signal from the mode setting unit. Preferably, the timing signal is a gate select signal CPV that becomes a horizontal synchronous signal.
