Abstract
A display apparatus uses a sub field which illuminates addressed pixels of a display unit to display an image. The display apparatus includes an image signal processing circuit which performs sub field conversion processing on an input image signal, a computational processing circuit which arranges address data of at least one lower sub field of an image displayed on the display unit identical in plural lines, and a drive circuit which addresses and illuminates pixels of the display unit based on the outputs of the input signal processing circuit and the computational processing circuit. An image corresponding to the input image signal is displayed by driving the display unit with the drive circuit when the computational processing circuit performs addressing of the at least one lower sub field simultaneously in plural lines and address periods which select the illuminated pixels of said display unit are shortened.
