  • Publication number: 20190197996
    Abstract: A display device includes: a display area including partial display areas; sub-pixels, each sub-pixel including a memory block with memories to store sub-pixel data; memory selection line groups, each of which is provided in each row or column in each partial display area and includes memory selection lines, each memory selection line electrically being coupled to the memory blocks, each of which belongs to the sub-pixels arranged in the row or the column; a memory selection control circuit for one of the memory selection lines from each memory selection line group, the memory selection lines selected functioning as an output destination of a memory selection signal for selecting one of the memories in the memory block; a memory selection circuit outputting the memory selection signal; and distribution circuits outputting the memory selection signal to the selected one of the memory selection lines in each memory selection line group.

  • Publication number: 20190114983
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a display device includes: sub-pixels arranged in row and column directions and each including a memory block including memories to store therein sub-pixel data; memory selection line groups corresponding to rows and each including memory selection lines electrically coupled to the memory blocks in the respective sub-pixels that belong to the corresponding row; and a memory selection circuit configured to concurrently output a memory selection signal to the memory selection line groups. Each sub-pixel displays an image based on the sub-pixel data stored in one of the memories in accordance with the memory selection line supplied with the memory selection signal. The number of times that the set value is changed is less than the number of times that images are switched from one to another based on the memory selection signal output from the memory selection circuit.

  • Publication number: 20190066634
    Abstract: A display device includes: sub-pixels each including a memory block including memories; memory selection line groups each including memory selection lines electrically coupled to the memory blocks in the sub-pixels that belong to the corresponding row; a memory selection circuit configured to concurrently output memory selection signals to the memory selection line groups; a potential line; a conduction switch provided for at least one memory in the memory block on a one-to-one basis; and an operating-memory conduction circuit configured to output, to the conduction switch, an operation signal for determining whether to electrically couple or uncouple the potential line and the corresponding one memory. Each memory is capable of storing sub-pixel data therein when being coupled to the potential line. Each sub-pixel displays an image based on the sub-pixel data stored in one memory in the sub-pixel according to the memory selection line supplied with the memory selection signal.
