In a display device such as a liquid crystal display, a processing for compressing a range of display data (grayscale) to a low grayscale side (a grayscale range where response is fast) except for a high grayscale side (a grayscale range where response is slow) at a predetermined compression ratio to conduct display according to response characteristic of transition between grayscales and a temperature state and a processing for increasing a light amount of a backlight to compensate for luminance change due to the compression are performed, for example, in a liquid crystal panel of TN liquid crystal. Thereby, response can be made fast even at a low temperature time.

A MVA type liquid crystal panel is slow in a response speed when a black state at a drive voltage about 1V is switched to a low brightness halftone state at the drive voltage about 2 to 3V. According to the present invention, in a liquid crystal display device for driving the MVA type liquid crystal panel, when a liquid crystal pixel at a pixel electrode is changed from a first transmittance to a second transmittance greater than the first transmittance, a drive voltage greater than a first target drive voltage in correspondence with a second transmittance is applied to the pixel electrode in a first frame period of changing to the second transmittance, and the first target display voltage is applied from a second frame period. According to the present invention, even when either switching is performed from a black state to a low brightness halftone state, from the black state to a high brightness halftone state, or from the black state to a white state, a response time is shortened, and the switching can be performed without generating an overshoot.

A casing (31) houses therein an expansion mechanism (60) and a compression mechanism (50). The expansion mechanism (60) has a rear head (62) in which a pressure snubbing chamber (71) is provided. The pressure snubbing chamber (71) is divided by a piston (77) into an inflow/outflow chamber (72) which fluidly communicates with an inflow port (34) and a back pressure chamber (73) which fluidly communicates with the inside of the casing (31). The piston (77) is displaced in response to suction pressure variation whereby the volume of the inflow/outflow chamber (72) varies. This enables the inflow/outflow chamber (72) to directly perform supply of refrigerant to or suction of refrigerant from the inflow port (34) which is a source of pressure variation, thereby making it possible to effectively inhibit suction pressure variation.

In a switching power supply apparatus, a first switching element is controlled by a driving voltage output from a switching control IC. A second switching control circuit controls the on-time of a second switching element so that the time ratio of the on-time of the second switching element to the on-time of the first switching element becomes almost constant with respect to a change in a load current. In a normal load state, since a square wave output from a frequency setting unit within the switching control IC is output with no change, a converter operates in a current-continuous mode. In a light load state, a driving signal generation unit within the switching control IC is subjected to blanking with the period of a signal output from a maximum frequency setting unit and an oscillation frequency is reduced. Accordingly, the converter operates in a current-discontinuous mode.
