Both displays with a mode of placing emphasis on responsiveness and display with a mode of placing emphasis on gray-scale reproductiveness can be available by a method of sub field drive. 1 field is divided into plural sub fields on a time axis, and each of such sub fields is a control unit of driving a pixel. The code storing ROM 31 stores a code that controls sub fields for collecting on-voltage intensively in the former part of a sub field based on display data. The code storing ROM 32 stores a code that controls sub fields for increasing levels of gray scale based on display data. The data encoder 30 determines whether each pixel of display data is an edge part of a moving image or not, selects a code that enables superior display in responsiveness at the edge part of a moving and selects a code that enables superior display in gray scale reproductiveness in other parts from ROMs 31,32. Therefore, superior sight recognition of a moving image can be attained and reproduction of multi levels gray scale in a still image can be available simultaneously.
A drive circuit for an electro optical device including display portion having pixels arranged in a matrix with electro optical material of which an optical transmittance ratio is changed by applying voltage, supplying on-voltage for making the transmittance ratio be saturated, or off-voltage for making the transmittance ratio be an non-transmissive to the display portion and implementing sub field drive to realize a gray scale in response to the ratio of optical transmissive state to a non-transmissive state of the electro optical material per unit time and time ratio;
A method of driving an electro optical device;
