METHOD OF DRIVING DISPLAY DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT USING THE SAME

摘要

A method of driving a display device having a plurality of scanning lines by feeding video signals of a number of scanning lines smaller than the number of the scanning lines to a display element that is controlled by the scanning lines, wherein at least one scanning line of video signals corresponding to a number of scanning lines smaller than the number of the scanning lines is stored in a storage, one scanning line of video signals stored in the storage is read N times (N is a positive integer) by a controller, and the video signals read N times by the controller is supplied to a display element that is controlled by N scanning lines, and wherein the number N of times of reading the video signals from the storage is changed within a vertical scanning period, so that the picture is displayed on the whole display device for every vertical scanning period even when the number of scanning lines of video signals in a vertical scanning period is smaller than the number of scanning lines of the display device.
