Abstract: A display apparatus including a drive control section that performs control to repeatedly switch between a drive time period during which a backlight emits light and a rest time period during which the backlight does not emit light, in an alternating manner with a prescribed period. The drive control section controls a ratio between the drive time period and the rest time period, and controls the amount of drive current supplied to the backlight during the drive time period. The drive control section sets the rest time period to be a prescribed time period and controls the amount of the drive current for a range where an adjustment value is less than a prescribed value, and sets the drive current to a prescribed value and makes the rest time period shorter than the prescribed time period for a range where the adjustment value is greater than the prescribed value.

Abstract: A time division communication system is constructed with modular time division switches. The system includes 2n switch modules (n is a positive integer), and each switch module is composed of m line control units (m is a positive integer) for accomodating m lines and a time division switch control unit capable of controlling 2m line control units. The switch modules are assembled in pairs, and cross connections are provided between the switch modules of each pair to enable the respective time division switch control units to mutually send and receive time-division multiplexed information. In addition, the input and output terminals of the corresponding time division switch control units of the respective switch module pairs are interconnected so that respective ones of the module pairs may mutually send and receive time-division multiplexed information.
