Abstract: In a pixel circuit of a display device that includes an electro-optical element and a driving transistor, when a connection wiring line formed in a wiring line layer closer to a wiring line layer in which a first electrode of the electro-optical element is formed than a wiring line layer in which a control electrode of the driving transistor is formed is connected to the control electrode of the driving transistor, the first electrode of the electro-optical element is disposed so as not to overlap the connection wiring line in a plan view. In this way, a coupling capacitance between a node connected to the control electrode of the driving transistor and the first electrode of the electro-optical element is reduced, a step response of the display device is prevented, and power consumption of the display device is reduced.

Abstract: A display apparatus and a display control circuit which may contain an occurrence of the inappropriate brightness, such as flickering, at the time of pausing driving are provided. A scan period (St1, St2) during which a display panel drive device scans a display panel device and a retention period (Vt1) during which the display panel drive device does not scan the display panel device alternate and a timing control device causes the display panel drive device to scan the display panel device a plurality of times in the scan period when at least the brightness (Lb1) of the backlight device is changed.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device that performs intermittent driving involving a driving period and an idle period includes a gray scale level control unit that generates, from an input image signal, an image signal for display and an image signal for correction. A signal line control unit writes the image signal for correction to the plurality of signal lines before writing the image signal for display during a driving period. An LUT stores a correction gray scale value associated with a gray scale value of at least a current frame. An adding circuit corrects the input image signal based on the correction gray scale value read from the LUT. The subtracting circuit specifies, in a pixel region, a regular image pattern including at least a first pixel and a second pixel and changes an output from the adding circuit for the first image by a predetermined gray scale width.

Abstract: The invention provides a liquid crystal display device capable of preventing a reduction in display quality by suppressing the occurrence of flicker during alternating-voltage drive, as well as a method for driving the same. Overshoot drive is performed during a first frame period, which is shortened to such an extent that a “positive effective area” and a “negative effective area” are approximately equal in size. The duration of the first frame period is set to be greater than or equal to a quarter of one frame period at a refresh rate of 60 Hz but less than one frame period. This renders it possible to make adjustments such that luminance is inhibited from abruptly dropping immediately after a polarity change, and also luminance is prevented from becoming excessively high due to overshoot drive, and therefore, the occurrence of flicker due to flexoelectric polarization during alternating-voltage drive can be suppressed.

Abstract: A memory access section 16 writes, in a memory (10), a received image signal, in a case where a current frame is one that is located right before a frame in a scanning signal. On the other hand, the memory access section 16 does not write, in the memory (10), a received image signal, in a case where the current frame is one that is located right before a frame in a pause period. This allows a further reduction in electric power used to write, in the memory (10), an image signal received from outside.

Abstract: In an intermittent drive mode of a display device in which driving and pausing of the driving are repeated, an image identification section identifies an input image as a still image or a moving image. In a case where the moving image is identified, a drive/pause control section generates a drive/pause control signal with a period ratio in accordance with the moving image. A timing control section generates a driver control signal so that intermittent driving is carried out. Then, a source driver and a gate driver drives a display section so that the drive period and the pause period are repeated with a predetermined period ratio, so that the input image is displayed. The drive/pause control section sets a time ratio between the drive period and the pause period to be variable for each of the moving image and the still image.

A timing control section (8) generates a driver control signal so that intermittent driving is carried out.
