DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING SAME

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a display device, the power consumption of which can be reduced without deteriorating the display quality when displaying a moving image and a still image, and also is to provide a method for driving the display device. In an intermittent driving mode in which driving and stopping of driving are repeated, an image identification unit (6) identifies whether an input image (DA) is a still image or a moving image. When it is identified that the input image (DA) is the moving image, a driving/stopping control unit (7) generates a driving/stopping control signal (DSC) on the basis of a period ratio according to the moving image. A timing control unit (8) generates a driver control signal so that intermittent driving is performed. A display unit (2) is then driven by a source driver (3) and a gate driver (4) so that a driving period and a stopping period are repeated at a predetermined period ratio, and displays the input image (DA). The driving/stopping control unit (7) also sets a time ratio between the driving period and the stopping period separately and variably for a moving image and a still image.
