Abstract
A display apparatus that can improve power savings in a waiting mode is disclosed. The display apparatus () is used as a display component of an electronic device capable of switching between a normal power consumption state and a low power consumption state and includes a panel in which a display area () and a peripheral circuit section for driving the display area are integrally formed on an insulating substrate (). The circuit section switches between an operation mode and a waiting mode responsive to switching between the normal power consumption state and the low power consumption state of a main body of the electronic device. In the waiting mode, a standby control operation stops driving the display areaand inactivates the circuit section to suppress power consumption.
