Abstract
An automatic contrast adjusting device which is capable of providing an optimum LCD contrast for a user's eyes as the user desires. A CPU references a characteristic table listing temperatures vs. liquid crystal drive voltages in a RAM in response to temperature data from a thermistor, reads a PWM value (liquid crystal drive voltage) corresponding to the temperature data, and outputs a PWM pulse of a duty ratio corresponding thereto. On the other hand, when the user manually adjusts the contrast by handling a contrast switch, characteristic data in the RAM is corrected in response to the adjustment amount, and is then written into an EEPROM.
