Abstract

There is provided a display apparatus which uses a display panel using a liquid crystal having a bistability or a memory performance such as a ferroelectric liquid crystal and can display image data in various display modes in which the number of pixels (resolution), display color, minimum pixel unit, and the like respectively differ. The display apparatus comprises: a memory to store the image data; a pixel data output circuit to output the image data stored in the memory every pixel data; a converter to convert the pixel data which was output from the pixel data output circuit into binary data which is displayed on the display panel; a display data output circuit for converting the binary data converted by the converter into the display data corresponding to the display modc and outputting; and a display controller for allowing the image data which was output by the display data output circuit to be displayed on the display panel. A multiplexer is used as a pixel data output circuit. An RAM in which binary data has been stored is used as a converter.
