    Abstract: A liquid crystal control circuit includes: a first terminal that outputs a rewriting signal for rewriting a plurality of pixels; a second terminal that periodically designates a start timing of the rewriting signal; a third terminal that outputs a polarity signal for designating polarity of AC voltage; a first circuit that identifies a next second inversion timing of any first inversion timing at which the polarity is inverted; a calculator that calculates a first start timing after the first inversion timing based on the start timing; a second circuit that determines whether the second inversion timing is within a period from a predetermined time before the first start timing to the first start timing; and an inversion unit that inverts polarity of the polarity signal after the rewriting signal starting from the first start timing is stopped, when the second inversion timing is within the period.

    Abstract: A liquid crystal control circuit is provided for driving a MIP liquid crystal panel. The MIP liquid crystal panel has a plurality of pixels, each of which includes a memory element and a display element. The memory element holds electric potential depending on an image signal. The display element is applied voltage depending on the electric potential which the memory element holds. The liquid crystal control circuit includes an inversion unit that inverts polarity of AC voltage in a first mode in which an enable signal is output. The AC voltage being is applied to the display element in synchronization with outputting of the enable signal. The enable signal activates the image signal output to the MIP liquid crystal panel.
