DISPLAY AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE DISPLAY CAPABLE OF REDUCING CURRENT AND POWER CONSUMPTION WITHOUT DETERIORATING QUALITY OF DISPLAYED IMAGES
First Claim
1. A display having a panel, and first and second electrodes;
- said first and second electrodes defining a matrix of cells on said panel;
said second electrodes, which correspond to lines of said cells, being scanned to select cell lines one by one;
said first electrodes being driven to set display data for a selected one of said cell lines, wherein said display comprises;
a sequence setting unit for setting sequences of scanning said second electrodes; and
a sequence selection unit for selecting one of the sequences.

Abstract
A display has a panel, and first and second electrodes. The first and second electrodes define a matrix of cells on the panel. The second electrodes, which correspond to lines of the cells, are scanned to select the cell lines one by one. The first electrodes are driven to set display data for a selected one of the cell lines. The display also has a sequence setting unit for setting sequences of scanning the second electrodes, and a sequence selection unit for selecting one of the sequences that minimizes the current and power consumption of a first-electrode driver without deteriorating the quality of the displayed images.
