Abstract: An embodiment of this invention is directed to suppressing a circuit scale and ensuring quick response in control of a DC motor. According to the embodiment, upon driving the motor to feed roll paper, the current value supplied to drive the motor is compared with a target value for PWM-control. A value representing the comparison result is counted for a PWM-control signal of one cycle. The output tendency of the comparison result is checked based on an obtained count in every cycle of the signal, and the tendency is encoded. The code values are stored for a predetermined number of cycles of the signal. The code values stored in both the first period and the second period longer than the first period are checked in regard to the past tendency of PWM-control, and the signal is adjusted.

Abstract: A modulator circuit (102) is capable of outputting n kinds of unit pulses with the identical width and with peak values A1 to An and controls the peak value and width of a modulation signal through changing the kind and the number of output unit pulses in accordance with luminance data. In case of outputting more than one unit pulse with the maximal peak value out of unit pulses which comprise the modulation signal, the modulator circuit (102) makes the pulses appear dispersedly within an effective light emission time period. With such an arrangement, it is possible to suppress a decrease in display quality otherwise occurring due to voltage drop of row wirings.
