Abstract
An information processing system includes a bus; a display data generating circuit coupled to the bus for generating display data in a form of a plurality of bits for each of a plurality of pixels of a display panel; and a display apparatus coupled to the bus. The display data generating circuit includes a central processing unit and a memory. The display apparatus includes a display panel including a plurality of data lines and a plurality of scanning lines in a matrix form with pixels formed at intersections of the data lines and the scanning lines, the display panel being capable of displaying a grayscale image in accordance with the display data in a form of a plurality of bits for each of a plurality of pixels of a display panel; a signal driver for supplying driving voltages corresponding to the display data to at least a part of the plurality of data lines to display an image, the signal driver including a display memory for storing the display data and being constructed in an integrated circuit; and a scanning driver for scanning the plurality of scanning lines. The display data generating circuit transfers the display data via the bus to the display memory.
