There is provided a display device which enables both a full color moving image
display (analog mode) and a shallow depth still image display (digital mode), and
which achieves a significant reduction in the energy consumption of the display
device system including the external LSI. Each of the pixel elements of the display
device has two different display circuits corresponding to the respective display
modes and a switching circuit for selecting one of them. When the digital mode
is selected, the supply of the voltage power to the circuits not required to operate
(a DA converter, a operational amplifier and a timing controller) under the mode
is halted for reducing the consumption of the electric power by the display device.
