Display apparatus and portable electronic apparatus that can reduce consumptive power, and method of driving display apparatus

A display apparatus, comprising:

• a plurality of scanning lines to which a plurality of scanning signals are inputted, respectively;
• a plurality of signal lines to which a plurality of display signals are inputted, respectively;
• a plurality of capacitance sections respectively provided through a plurality of switching elements at a plurality of intersections of said plurality of scanning lines and said plurality of signal lines;
• and
• a display section including said plurality of capacitance sections, and
• wherein said display section is divided into first, second and third display regions by two virtual lines parallel to at least one of said plurality of scanning lines, and
• wherein said plurality of scanning signals are inputted at first intervals to a first group of the scanning lines corresponding to said first display region of said plurality of scanning lines, and
• wherein said plurality of scanning signals are inputted at second intervals to a second group of the scanning lines corresponding to said second display region of said plurality of scanning lines, and
• wherein said plurality of scanning signals are inputted at third intervals to a third group of the scanning lines corresponding to said third display region of said plurality of scanning lines, and
• wherein at least one of said first, second and third intervals is different from a remaining one in a case that said at least one is withdrawn from said first, second and third intervals.
