Abstract:
1. A method of controlling an electro-optical device including a display section which has a plurality of pixels each having an electro-optical material between a pixel electrode and a counter electrode arranged to be opposite each other, and a driving section which supplies a data potential to the pixel electrode of each of the plurality of pixels, the method comprising: controlling the driving section such that, when an image displayed in the display section is rewritten from a first image displayed in a first gray level to a second image including a background image portion to be displayed in the first gray level and a main image portion to be displayed in a second gray level different from the first gray level, a voltage that is the same as a voltage supplied to the counter electrode is supplied to the pixel electrode of the pixel corresponding to the background image portion as the data potential and a voltage corresponding to the second gray level is supplied to the pixel electrode of the pixel corresponding to the main image portion as the data potential, wherein
