  • Publication number: 20220108663
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a panel and a controller. The panel includes a pixel including a pixel memory and a first circuit which is controlled by a polarity control signal and supplies a polarity signal to the pixel. The panel includes a first mode and a second mode. The first mode displays video using a video signal continuously supplied from the controller. The second mode displays video using a video signal recorded in a pixel memory. The controller includes a second circuit and a microcomputer. The second circuit outputs the video signal. The microcomputer controls the second circuit. In the first mode, the second circuit outputs the polarity control signal. In the second mode, the microcomputer outputs the polarity control signal.

  • Patent number: 10319332
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a display apparatus includes: a plurality of pixels formed on a substrate; a plurality of semiconductor apparatuses, each of which is coupled to a part of the pixels, the part being different for each semiconductor apparatus; and wiring that couples the semiconductor apparatuses to one another. Each semiconductor apparatus includes a drive signal output circuit configured to output a drive signal to the part of the pixels, and an output controller configured to: output and receive, to and from other semiconductor apparatuses, a drive communication signal including a drive start communication signal indicating reception of a drive start signal to start driving the pixels via the wiring; and cause the drive signal output circuit to output the drive signal when determining that all the semiconductor apparatuses have received the drive start signals in accordance with the drive start communication signal.
