Abstract
A display apparatus with a novel structure is provided. The display apparatus includes a first layer and a second layer positioned above the first layer. The first layer includes a driver circuit region, and the second layer includes a pixel array. The pixel array includes a plurality of pixel regions. The driver circuit region includes a control circuit unit and a plurality of local driver circuits. One of the plurality of local driver circuits corresponds to any one of the plurality of pixel regions. The local driver circuit has a function of outputting a driving signal for driving a plurality of pixels included in the corresponding pixel region. The control circuit unit has a function of comparing definition data of an input image signal and aspect ratio data of the pixel array to determine a first region where display is performed and a second region where display is not performed, and outputting, to the local driver circuit corresponding to the second region, a control signal for stopping output of the driving signal.
