A display apparatus includes an optical modulation device comprising a pair of electrodes, and a photoconductor layer and an optical modulation substance layer between the electrodes, a signal light source for supplying light data carrying gradation data to the photoconductor layer, and a readout light source for supplying readout light for reading out image data to the optical modulation substance layer. The display apparatus is driven by a method including: scanningly supplying the light data to the photoconductor layer, and scanningly supplying the readout light to the optical modulation substance layer. Preferably, the lighting time of the readout light source is controlled to modulate an overlapping time between a period of the optical modulation substance assuming a prescribed optical state and the lighting time depending on given gradation data.
A driving method for a display apparatus including an optical modulation device comprising a pair of electrodes, and a photoconductor layer and an optical modulation substance layer disposed between the electrodes, a signal light source for supplying light data carrying gradation data to the photoconductor layer, and a readout light source for supplying readout light for reading out image data to the optical modulation substance layer, said driving method comprising:
A driving method for a display apparatus including (a) an optical modulation device comprising a plurality of two-dimensionally arranged pixels, each comprising an optical modulation element formed by disposing an optical modulation substance layer between a pair of electrodes and a drive element for supplying an electric signal carrying gradation data to the optical modulation element, and (b) a readout light source for supplying readout light for reading out image data to the optical modulation substance layer, said driving method comprising:
