Patent ID: 8269761

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a display section including a plurality of pixels; a plurality of driving circuits configured to drive each of the plurality of pixels of the display section based on a display data signal and a synchronizing signal; and a signal generating section configured to generate, on a basis of the synchronizing signal and an ON/OFF signal, the ON/OFF signal for switching between a driving state and a non-driving state of the plurality of driving circuits, a new ON/OFF signal for switching between the driving state and the non-driving state of the plurality of driving circuits, the new ON/OFF signal synchronized with the synchronizing signal, and to feed the new ON/OFF signal into the plurality of driving circuits, wherein the plurality of driving circuits are configured to switch between the driving state and the non-driving state on a basis of the new ON/OFF signal, the synchronizing signal is a vertical synchronizing signal that changes in a period of one frame, which is one periodic time, and the signal generating section is configured to feed the new ON/OFF signal into the plurality of driving circuits such that the plurality of driving circuits switch between the driving state and the non-driving state in synchronization with timing of a rise or a fall of the synchronizing signal, the rise or the fall of the synchronizing signal indicating a start of writing on the display section in a period of one frame corresponding to the rise or the fall or indicating an end of the period of one frame corresponding to the rise or the fall.
