Abstract

The electro-optical device is directly connected to a battery and includes a display panel, a driver, and a voltage adjusting circuit. The driver amplifies an input voltage and supplies the amplified voltage to the display panel. The voltage adjusting circuit includes a plurality of conversion circuits, a switching unit, and a control circuit. The plurality of conversion circuits convert a voltage input from the battery into different voltages and supply the converted voltages to the driver. The switching unit performs switching for supplying the voltage to one of the plurality of conversion circuits. The control circuit controls the switching unit to switch the conversion circuit that supplies the voltage input from the battery when it is detected that a voltage gain of the driver has changed. Thus, the power consumption can be reduced without having an adverse effect on image display.
