The first driver separates the common terminals into common terminal blocks and drives the common terminals. The first and second drivers perform the driving so that the common and segment terminals which are connected to display blocks that are turned OFF are not supplied with a turn-off signal and are maintained at ground potential.

Abstract: An electronic timepiece is operated with a power-supply voltage from a secondary battery charged with a voltage from a solar panel. An oscillation circuit generates and supplies a clock signal to a CPU when the voltage charged to the battery is lower than a first voltage.

Abstract: A display control unit performs switching between internal measurement information (for example, a lap time and others) and living-body information (for example, the number of heartbeats) indicated by a living-body signal for display on a display unit, based on whether or not a receiving unit acquires the living-body signal (for example, a heartbeat signal). Accordingly, a user can switch between displaying living-body information indicated by a living-body signal on a running watch (a display unit) and not displaying the living-body information indicated by the living-body signal on the running watch, depending on whether or not a chest strap is worn. Accordingly, the user does not need to perform a user operation for switching between the display of the internal measurement information and the display of the living-body information indicated by the living-body signal. Therefore, a user's laborious job of performing a display switching operation can be reduced.
