    Patent number: 9412289
    Abstract: A display unit that drives pixels field sequentially includes pixel circuits disposed in a matrix form of rows and columns and a drive control section that causes the pixel circuits to display image frames of input image data such that a single frame of the image frames is displayed in two parts as a first sub-frame and as a second sub-frame. The first and second sub-frames are displayed field sequentially by different portions of the pixel circuits. The first sub-frame is displayed by a first portion of the pixel circuits that are located in a checked pattern, while the second sub-frame is displayed by the remaining pixel circuits.
