Claim 0:
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a display having a screen with an array of self-luminous elements;
a display driver that drives the display such that the display displays on the screen in accordance with display data; and
a host controller that transfers updated display data of the screen to the display driver when the display data is updated,
wherein the display driver includes a light-emission controller that causes the self-luminous elements to emit light,
wherein the light-emission controller continuously causes the self-luminous elements to emit light at a constant cycle,
wherein, when no updating of the display data occurs after a predetermined period of time passes from a first updating of the display data, the display driver drives the display so that an update frame and a pause frame coexist in frames between a time of the first updating of the display data and a time when other display data different from the display data is updated after the predetermined time passes the update frame being a frame in which both display refresh and the light emission of the self-luminous elements occur, the pause frame being a frame in which the display refresh does not occur and the light emission of self-luminous elements is does occur, and
wherein a luminance level of the self-luminous elements in the update frame displayed first after a frame in which the display data is updated is raised higher than a luminance level of the self-luminous elements in the frame in which the display data is updated.
