Abstract:
1. A control device that controls a display device equipped with a display section having a plurality of pixels, a plurality of first electrodes each of which corresponds to a pixel, a second electrode provided opposite the plurality of first electrodes, and display elements placed between the first electrodes and the second electrode, the control device comprising: an application device that applies a first voltage to the first electrode of the plurality of first electrodes multiple times when the gray level of the pixel corresponding to the first electrode is changed from a first gray level to a second gray level, and applies a second voltage having a polarity different from the first voltage to the first electrode of the plurality of the first electrodes multiple times when the gray level of the pixel corresponding to the first electrode is changed from the second gray level to the first gray level; and an application control device that controls the application device to change a first image displayed with a plurality of pixels composing the entirety or a part of the display section to an image in the first gray level displayed with the plurality of pixels, and thereafter display a second image with the plurality of pixels, the application control device controlling the application device such that the numbers of application of the first voltage and the second voltage to each of the plurality of first electrodes are equal to each other from a state in which each of the plurality of pixels lastly assumes the first gray level before the first image is displayed until a state in which each of the plurality of pixels first assumes the first gray level after the first image is displayed.
