PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a suitable method for driving an electro-optic display.SOLUTION: A display having a plurality of pixels divided into a plurality of groups is driven in the following manner. Each of a plurality of pixel groups is continuously selected; either drive voltage or non-drive voltage is applied to each of the pixels in the selected group; scanning of all pixel groups is completed within a first frame period; scanning of the pixel groups is repeated in a second frame period; scanning of the pixel groups is interrupted in a pause period between the first and second frame periods; and the pause period is not longer than the first or second frame period.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A 【課題】電気光学ディスプレイを駆動するのに好適な方法を提供すること。【解決手段】複数のグループに分けられた複数のピクセルを持つディスプレイを以下により駆動する。複数のピクセル・グループの各々を連続的に選定し、選定したグループのピクセルの各々に駆動電圧又は非駆動電圧のどちらかを印加し、第一フレーム期間内にすべてのピクセル・グループのスキャンを完了し、第二フレーム期間中にピクセル・グループのスキャンを繰り返し、第一と第二フレーム期間との間の休止期間においてはピクセル・グループのスキャンを中断し、この休止期間は第一及び第二フレーム各期間の長さを超えない。【選択図】図１Ａ
