Abstract

A still row discrimination unitdiscriminates whether data of one row included in a video signal Dis a still row. A scanning line drive circuitapplies a non-selection voltage to scanning lines GLto GLm corresponding to the still row. A data line drive circuitdoes not apply data voltages to data lines SLto SLn when discriminated as the still row. A similar structure may be applied to a display device in which pixel circuits are divided into a plurality of blocks in a row direction and the pixel circuits in a same block among the pixel circuits in each row are connected to each scanning line. With this, it is possible to provide a display device which can reduce power consumption even when a part of a display image changes.
