Abstract
An electronic timepiece has a display driver circuit for driving a display panel having plural display portions for displaying information corresponding to plural functions executed by the timepiece. The display driver circuit turns off one or more display portions corresponding to active functions when a timekeeping function requiring continuous visual recognition is being executed by the timepiece so that a display corresponding to the function requiring continuous visual recognition may be viewed without distraction by a display corresponding to other functions. The function requiring continuous visual recognition may be a stopwatch function, a timer function or other elapsed time function, and the other functions having an ON/OFF state set by one or more input switches.
