<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic device with saved electric power of a display control part and a power saving method. <P>SOLUTION: A personal computer 1 is provided with an LCD6 and a graphic controller 14 controlling output of display data to the LCD6. A 3D engine 32 is provided in the controller 14 for 3D processing. The 3D engine 32 is provided with a geometry engine 41 and a rendering engine 42. When performing 3D processing, at first in the geometry engine 41, polygons themselves are mutated. At this time, the rendering engine 42 is set in a power saving state, and the geometry engine is transited to a power saving state when processing data of the geometry engine 41 are processed by the rendering engine 42. This prevents unnecessary power consumption to lead to power saving of the personal computer 1. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
