Display device capable of controlling power consumption

摘要

A method of driving a display device has a calculating step, a comparing step, and a controlling step. The calculating step (ST3) calculates a total number of light-emission pulses within a field, based on an average of display load factors in at least two fields, the comparing step (ST5) compares the calculated number of light-emission pulses with a number of light-emission pulses based on power consumption, and the controlling step (ST7, ST8) controls a smaller display load factor as the total number of light-emission pulses within a field.
