A method of controlling a display device is a method for controlling a display device including a light modulation sheet switchable between a transparent state and an opaque state. When an operation to turn on the display device is obtained, a PWM waveform for generating an alternating voltage based on a direct voltage is output, the alternating voltage having a duty cycle of 50% at a phase of 0 degrees or 180 degrees, the alternating voltage is generated from the direct voltage, based on the PWM waveform output, and the alternating voltage generated is output to the light modulation sheet.
