Patent ID: 7061456

Claim:
An image display apparatus having a display controller for converting an image data into a display data, an image converting circuit and a display panel, comprising: a frame memory feeding data having different resolution on said display panel and a dynamic image/still image discriminating circuit; said display panel including a signal driver applying an image data signal to at least one signal line, a control signal driver applying a scanning signal to at least one scanning line and a pixel selection driver for applying a display block selection signal to at least one selection signal line; said display panel taking a predetermined number of pixels among a plurality of pixels having a pixel electrode arranged in matrix fashion as one block unit, and one screen image of a plurality of one block units for displaying is formed by combining a region for displaying the same information on a plurality of pixels in one of said one block units during one scanning period and a region for permitting display of respectively different information on a plurality of pixels in an other one of said one block units; a lighting device provided on a back surface; a pair of transparent substrates having a polarizing panel; a liquid crystal layer disposed between said pair of transparent substrates; one of said pair of transparent substrates having a plurality of said scanning lines; first signal lines and second signal lines formed with a plurality of said scanning lines in a form of a matrix; a plurality of first switches formed corresponding to intersections of said plurality of said scanning lines and a plurality of said first signal lines; a plurality of second switches formed between a plurality of said second signal lines and a plurality of said first switches; a pixel electrode connected to a plurality of said first switches or a plurality of said second switches; an opposed electrode connected to a plurality of said first switches or a plurality of said second switches; an electric field being applied between said pixel electrode and said opposed electrode; and an image being displayed by controlling an orienting condition of said liquid crystal; wherein said lighting device has light emission control means for shifting a light emitting region in synchronism with the scanning signal applied to said scanning line.
