Abstract
A display element () includes an upper substrate (first substrate) (), a lower substrate (second substrate) (), and a polar liquid () that is sealed in a display space (S) formed between the upper substrate () and the lower substrate () so as to be moved toward an effective display region (P) or a non-effective display region (P). A display control (DC) supplies predetermined reset signals to signal electrodes (), reference electrodes (), and scanning electrodes () so that the polar liquid () in each of all pixel regions (P) is moved to an initial position that is set on the effective display region (P) side or the non-effective display region (P) side opposite the scanning direction before the scanning operation is performed.
