Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate unnecessary power consumption and to prevent a cathode- ray tube from being burnt by turning off the power source of the image display device unless an image display changes for a certain time. CONSTITUTION:When a central processing part 3 writes data in an image display data storage memory part 4, a memory access monitor part 5 recognizes this processing and outputs an access recognition signal 13 to a power source control part 6. The power source control part 6 counts up repeatedly with a clock signal 14 and outputs a power-OFF signal to the image display device power source 7 when the counted value reaches a certain proper numeral. Then, when the memory access monitor part 5 outputs the access recognition signal 13 to the power source control part 6, the counted value is reset. Namely, the power source of the image display device 8 is turned off unless the display contents of the image display device 8 changes for the certain time, and turned on when there is a change again. Consequently, unnecessary power consumption is prevented.
