Abstract:
1. A display apparatus, comprising: a matrix display panel including a display device having a memory characteristic and scanning lines and signal lines disposed so as to form pixels each at an intersection of the scanning and signal lines, and a drive circuit for applying voltages to the scanning and signal lines, said drive circuit generating a reset voltage and a signal voltage derived from an image data inputted externally and applying the reset and the signal voltage to the signal lines while sequentially applying a selection voltage to the scanning line to effect writing of an image in said display panel, wherein said drive circuit has a function of correcting the reset voltage or the signal voltage of an image data inputted externally in current image writing by adding a value depending on the signal voltage in preceding image writing and an elapsed time from the preceding image writing, and applying the corrected reset voltage or the corrected signal voltage to the signal lines.
