Abstract
Music information display apparatus includes an electronic paper, and a control section that controls the electronic paper to switch to a display of music information, corresponding to a music piece being reproduced, in synchronism with reproduction of the music piece. When music information is to be displayed on the electronic paper, an instruction is given, in consideration of a response time necessary for display switching of the electronic paper, for starting a display switching operation a predetermined time earlier than display-switching timing so that switching to a display of the music information corresponding to a currently-reproduced music piece section can be completed by the display-switching timing. In this way, the music information automatically updated in synchronism with the reproduction of the music piece can be displayed on the electronic paper, so that an easy-to-view and easy-on-the-eye display can be provided with minimized power consumption. Further, the music information can be appropriately displayed with no delay behind the reproduction of the music piece.
