Display apparatus and drive control method thereof
First Claim
1. A display apparatus wherein signal lines of a first active-matrix type display panel are electrically connected to signal lines of a second active-matrix type display panel, the apparatus comprising:
- a control section which, when controlling the first active-matrix type display panel to be put into a display state and the second active-matrix type display panel to be put into a non-display state, performs refresh operations of the second active-matrix type display panel every predetermined number of frames and controls a frequency of voltage switching at a common electrode of the first active-matrix type display panel in a period corresponding to the predetermined number of frames to become less than a frequency of voltage switching when putting both of the first active-matrix type display panel and the second active-matrix type display panel into display states.

Abstract
A display apparatus which displays an image corresponding to a display signal comprising a plurality of display panels which have, respectively, a plurality of display pixels; and•• a control means which sets at least one display panel among the plurality of display panels in a display state and sets the plurality of display panels other than the at least one display panel in a non-display state, drives the display panel which has been set in the display state based on the display signal for each of a plurality of constant frame periods, and drives the display panel which has been set in the display state based on the display signal and performs a refresh operation of the display panel which has been set in the non-display state only in a specific frame period from the plurality of constant frame periods.
