Patent ID: 8659520

Claim:
An electronic book comprising: a pixel comprising a transistor and a display element; a driver circuit for driving the pixel; and a circuit for controlling the driver circuit such that a plurality of signals is inputted into the pixel to express gray scales and such that a first direction bias voltage and a second direction bias voltage are applied to the display element, wherein a direction of the first direction bias voltage is opposite to a direction of the second direction bias voltage, wherein the circuit is configured to control the driver circuit such that there are a plurality of patterns of applying a voltage to the display element in a case where a same gray scale level having a same weight is expressed, and wherein one frame comprises: a plurality of middle-order sub-frames which is used for an overlapping time gray scale method, each middle-order sub-frame of the plurality of middle-order subframes having a same middle-degree weighting, a high-order sub-frame which has a larger weighting than that of a middle-order sub-frame of the plurality of middle-order sub-frames and is used for a binary code time gray scale method, and a low-order sub-frame which has a smaller weighting than that of the middle-order sub-frame of the plurality of middle-order sub-frames and is used for the binary code time gray scale method.
