Display device
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- a capacitive display element which displays an image;
a display control section which refreshes an image displayed in the capacitive display element according to image data;
an image data input section which inputs the image data to the display control section;
a discrimination section which discriminates a type of the image data based on an input interval of the image data from the image data input section to the display control section; and
a refresh rate control section which changes an image refresh rate of the image in the capacitive display element, according to a result of discrimination by the discrimination section.

Abstract
The invention provides a display device which is capable of adjusting the image refresh rate to an optimal value regardless of the type of image data, and thus has low power consumption. The display device includes a liquid crystal panel for displaying images, a liquid crystal controller for refreshing images displayed in the liquid crystal panel according to an image data signal, and a CPU for inputting the image data signal to the liquid crystal controller. In the display device, the CPU has a discrimination section for discriminating whether the image data is a moving image or a still image based on an input interval of the image data from the CPU to the liquid crystal controller, and the liquid crystal controller has an image refresh demand signal generation circuit for changing the image refresh rate of the liquid crystal panel based on the result of discrimination by the CPU.
