DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING SAME

摘要

Provided is a display device in which it is possible to suppress the incidence of lowered brightness due to refreshing of a display image during paused driving. In a normal drive mode, input image data (SsD0) based on a continuous tone scheme is provided to a source driver (310) via a data selector (230) as a driver image signal (SsD). By contrast, in a low-frequency drive mode for performing paused driving, the input image data (SsD0) is converted to dithered input image data (SsD1) by a dithering circuit (220), and provided to the source driver (310) as a driver image signal (SsD) via the data selector (230). The dithered input image data (SsD1) simulates the tone according to an area coverage modulation scheme using two values comprising the maximum value and the minimum value achievable by the tone values of the input image data (SsD0).
