## Abstract

A display apparatus for adjusting image data and a control method for the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes a data line, a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit generates first original image data and second original image data according to an original image, and generates display data according to a difference between the second original image data and the first original image data and a relationship between first polarity data and second polarity data. The processing circuit provides the display data to the second pixel electrode through the data line.
