Abstract

Low frequency drive is performed that provides, after a charging period for refreshing a screen, a pause period for pausing the refresh. The length of the charging period is, for example, one frame and the length of the pause period is, for example, 59 frames. When new image data IMD is transmitted from a host to an LCD driver IC during the pause period, an interrupt process where the pause period is allowed to transition to the charging period is performed immediately thereafter. By performing the interrupt process, without waiting for the pause period with the predetermined length to end, the next charging period where refresh based on the new image data IMD is to be performed starts.
