Patent ID: 8823688

Claim:
A display control apparatus for driving a display panel to display an image, comprising: a generation unit configured to generate a display image signal having a plurality of bits based on an input image signal; a converter configured to time-divisionally convert the display image signal into an analog signal; a clock generator configured to generate a synchronizing clock of the display image signal; a driving unit configured to drive the display panel in synchronization with the synchronizing clock to display an image based on the analog signal converted by the converter; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a number of different bits in the plurality of bits of the display image signals that are to be continuously converted by the converter are different from each other is equal to or more than a predetermined value; and a controller configured to control the generation unit to modify the display image signal and prolong the cycle of the synchronizing clock if the determination unit determines that the number of different bits is equal to or more than the predetermined value.
