Abstract
A panel display has a display panel including a plurality of cells to be selectively discharged to an address driver for setting the plurality of cells to states represented by display data. The panel display also has a display glowing driver for enabling the plurality of cells to glow according to the set states. One frame during which one screen is displayed has a plurality of sub-frames and glowing periods within the sub-frames, during which the display cells are enabled to glow by the display glowing driver. The said sub-frames are weighted in order to achieve gray-scale display. The display panel also has a display load calculating circuit for calculating a display load to be imposed on a whole display surface during each sub-frame. In addition, a corrected period calculating circuit calculates a corrected period of a glowing period, during which the display cells are enabled to glow by the display glowing driver according to display loads to be imposed during each sub-frame. This is calculated by the display load calculating circuit so that brightness attained by the display cells during respective sub-frames will be maintained at a given ratio.
