- the display resolution is not limited to QVGA and VGA, but other angular rapid image degrees (for example, 640 X 480, 690 X 480, 800 ⁇ 480, 854 X 480, 1024 X 760, etc.) are also possible.
- the power described in the parallel-serial conversion circuit 11 is used as the circuit that needs to wait for lVBlank. It is applicable to all of
- the pseudo vertical synchronization signal 20 after outputting the pseudo vertical synchronization signal 20, a force S, for example, the pseudo vertical synchronization signal 20 is output with one period of the vertical synchronization noise as one normal period. Later, the period of one cycle of the vertical sync pulse can be set to TO-Tl l, and then the period of the vertical sync pulse can be set to normal TO! /.
- the synchronization panel clock pulse may be generated by another configuration, for example, a logic circuit.
- the circuit implementation method is arbitrary.
- the power of explaining the present invention is exemplified by the LCD capable of switching the display mode.
- the present invention can be provided to any display device and display system.
- the present invention can be applied to a plasma display device, an electoluminescence (EL) display device, and the like.
- EL electoluminescence
- it is widely applicable when using a type of circuit that enables the setting (parameter) of the transfer clock frequency to be triggered by the synchronization signal.
- the circuit setting procedure shown in FIG. 2 can be changed as appropriate.
- the period of the pseudo sync pulse can also be set as appropriate if the setting process can be completed during the vertical blanking period (or the blanking period when the previous vertical sync signal is output as it is).
- a plurality of communication means are selected in addition to the mobile phone used in the above embodiment.
- Bifb3 ⁇ 4PH3 ⁇ 4 Personal Handyphone System, PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) portable terminal devices, and also to fixed telephone devices, personal computers, etc. from which a plurality of communication means can be selected.
- the present invention can be used in various apparatuses and methods using a display apparatus having a function of switching display modes.
