Abstract

A display panel according to the present invention has sub-pixels which each include: a first light-emitting element that emits first light having a first color; and a second light-emitting element that emits second light having a color of the same type as a second color. A control device according to the present invention controls the first light-emitting elements and the second light-emitting elements in accordance with the gradation ratio corresponding to the sub-pixels in input image data. The second color is the same type of color as the first color. The luminance characteristics of a first dominant wavelength, which is the dominant wavelength of the first light, are different from the luminance characteristics of a second dominant wavelength, which is the dominant wavelength of the second light. As a result of the control device controlling the first light-emitting elements and the second light-emitting elements, the combined dominant wavelength change amount, which is the amount of change in the dominant wavelength of the combined light of the first light and the second light in a prescribed gradation ratio change range, becomes smaller than at least one of the first dominant wavelength change amount when the first light is emitted only by the first light-emitting elements and the second dominant wavelength change amount when the second light is emitted only by the second light-emitting elements.

Abstract

A drive control circuit that controls operations of liquid crystal drive circuits (a gate driver and a source driver) is provided with a counter that counts a polarity bias value that represents polarity bias of a data voltage applied to liquid crystal capacitance. During a scan frame period in which the polarity bias value is greater than a predetermined upper limit at a start of input of one frame of the image signal, the drive control circuit controls operations of the liquid crystal drive circuits so that the polarity bias value becomes smaller. During a scan frame period in which the polarity bias value is smaller than a predetermined lower limit at the start of input of one frame of the image signal, the drive control circuit controls the operations of the liquid crystal drive circuits so that the polarity bias value becomes larger.

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a signal driving circuit and a display control circuit. When a refresh rate is changed from a first frequency to a second frequency higher than the first frequency, the display control circuit sets a third time period between a first time period having the refresh rate at the first frequency and a second time period having the refresh rate at the second frequency. The display control circuit rewrites for the third time period an image to be displayed on a display panel by alternating the polarity of a pixel voltage between a positive polarity and a negative polarity at a third frequency higher than the second frequency.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for predicting a panel in-plane temperature, the method using a machine learning model (122) in which at least a portion of values extracted from image data related to an image displayed on a self-luminous display panel (20) and reference temperature data acquired by a temperature sensor (30) disposed at a predetermined position are treated as explanatory variables, and a predicted panel in-plane temperature of the self-luminous display panel (20) is treated as an objective variable.
