Liquid crystal control circuit, electronic timepiece, and liquid crystal control method

A liquid crystal control method for driving a MIP liquid crystal panel, wherein

• the MIP liquid crystal panel has a plurality of pixels, each of which including a memory element and a display element,
• the memory element holds electric potential depending on an image signal,
• the display element is applied voltage depending on the electric potential which the memory element holds, and
• the liquid crystal control method comprises:
• inverting polarity of AC voltage in a first mode in which an enable signal is output, the AC voltage being applied to the display element in synchronization with outputting of the enable signal, the enable signal activating the image signal output to the MIP liquid crystal panel;
• and
• inverting the polarity of the AC voltage applied to the display element at a predetermined interval, in a second mode in which the enable signal is not output to the MIP liquid crystal panel.
