Claim:
An electronic apparatus comprising: a detection module configured to detect a reproduction start of movie data of 29.97 fps or 59.94 fps to be displayed on a display module; a change module configured to perform a change in a refresh rate of the display module from 60 Hz to 59.94 Hz when the reproduction start of the movie data is detected, not by changing an operating frequency for a display control of the display module, but by changing a horizontal blanking period so that a sum of the horizontal blanking period and a horizontal active period is changed to satisfy 1000:1001 in a ratio of before and after the change, the horizontal blanking period being a period from a finish of a drawing operation of a horizontal line on the display module until a start of the drawing operation of the next horizontal line, the horizontal active period being a period during which the drawing operation of the horizontal line is performed; and a control module configured to perform the display control of the display module based on the refresh rate changed by the change module.
