Drive circuit, display unit, and electronic apparatus

A display unit comprising:

• a display panel having a display region that includes a plurality of pixels, the display region including a first display region and a second display region that is separate and adjacent to the first display region in the display region in a vertical direction, the first display region including a first plurality of scanned rows, and the second display region including a second plurality of scanned rows;
• and
• a drive circuit configured to drive the plurality of pixels, the drive circuit including a scanning circuit that is configured to
• perform a first vertical scanning and a second vertical scanning on the first display region in each frame of a plurality of frames, the first vertical scanning includes a first signal that causes light emission of a final scanned row of the first plurality of scanned rows of the first display region and the second vertical scanning includes a second signal that causes causing light extinction of the final scanned row of the first display region, and
• perform the first vertical scanning and the second vertical scanning on the second display region in the each frame of the plurality of frames, the first vertical scanning includes a third signal that causes light emission of a first scanned row of the second plurality of scanned rows of the second display region and the second vertical scanning includes a fourth signal that causes light extinction of the first scanned row of the second display region,
• wherein a timing of the third signal is earlier than a timing of the first signal,
• wherein a timing of the fourth signal is earlier than a timing of the second signal,
• wherein a timing of starting the light emission of an n+1 th frame of the plurality of frames for the first scanned row in the second display region is later than a timing of ending the light emission of an n-th frame of the plurality of frames for the final scanned row in the first display region, the first scanned row being adjacent to the first display region, and the final scanned row being adjacent to the second display region, and
• wherein n is a positive integer.

• perform the first vertical scanning and the second vertical scanning on the second display region in the each frame of the plurality of frames, the first vertical scanning includes a third signal that causes light emission of a first scanned row of the second plurality of scanned rows of the second display region and the second vertical scanning includes a fourth signal that causes light extinction of the first scanned row of the second display region,
• wherein a timing of the third signal is earlier than a timing of the first signal,
• wherein a timing of the fourth signal is earlier than a timing of the second signal,
• wherein a timing of starting the light emission of an n+1 th frame of the plurality of frames for the first scanned row in the second display region is later than a timing of ending the light emission of an n-th frame of the plurality of frames for the final scanned row in the first display region, the first scanned row being adjacent to the first display region, and the final scanned row being adjacent to the second display region, and
• wherein n is a positive integer.
