Display arrangement
First Claim
1. A display arrangement comprising:
- a display section for presenting visual images;
memory means for storing a set of image signals to be supplied to the display section;
input means for supplying successive sets of image signals to be stored in the memory means;
comparison circuit means for determining whether the set of image signals to be supplied to the display section are those for a constant image or for a changing image display by comparing a set of image signals to be supplied to the display section with a previous set of image signals read out of the memory means;
drive circuit means for driving the display device; and
control circuit means responsive to the comparison circuit means for controlling drive means so that, when the comparison circuit means determines that the image signals to be supplied to the display section are for a constant image display, the drive circuit means drives the display section in a reduced-power drive mode.

Abstract
A display arrangement includes a memory for storing image signals of one field supplied to an LCD display section, a comparator for determining whether the image signals of the next field to be supplied to the LCD display are those for a fixed image display or a changing image display by comparing those image signals with the image signals of the preceding field stored in the memory, and a controller for controlling a display driver so that, when the comparator determines that the image signals are for a fixed image display, the driver drives the LCD panel in a reduced-power drive mode. In one embodiment, the reduced-power drive mode is a spread-out mode and, in another embodiment, the reduced-power drive mode is a low-voltage mode.

6. A display arrangement comprising:
-
a display section for presenting visual images; input means for supplying successive fields of signals to a memory means and to the display section; memory means for storing image signals of a first field supplied to the display section; comparison circuit means for determining whether the image signals of a second field subsequently supplied to the memory means and to the display section are those for a constant image display or for a changing image display by comparing the image signals of the second field with the image signals of the first field stored in the memory means; drive circuit means for driving the display section; and control circuit means responsive to the comparison circuit means for controlling the drive circuit means so that, when the comparison circuit means determines that the image signals supplied to the display section are those for a fixed image display, the drive circuit means drives the display section in a reduced-power drive mode. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
