A display device includes liquid crystal panels, and displays an image, based on emission light from each of the liquid crystal panels. A display control circuit of the display device supplies image data of respective colors R, G, and B to the corresponding liquid crystal panels. A panel pixel having the lowest transmittance of three panel pixels corresponding to white-side pixels at domain boundaries is regarded as a reference panel pixel. The display control circuit reduces a gray scale level of pixel data supplied to two panel pixels other than the reference panel pixel of the three panel pixels. With this, coloring of the white-side pixels can be suppressed.

Control method for display device and display device

When, in a liquid crystal projector, optical responsiveness of a liquid crystal panel corresponding to G is better than optical responsiveness of a liquid crystal panel corresponding to R, a display control circuit performs a tr correction and a tf correction of overdrive processing for R, and performs only the tr correction of the overdrive process for G, and does not perform the tf correction for G. The display control circuit performs a black floating process for R, G, and B.

Liquid crystal projector

A liquid crystal projector includes a liquid crystal panel configured to generate a modulated image, a sensor configured to detect a temperature of the liquid crystal panel, an optical shift element configured to shift an emission optical path of the modulated image generated by the liquid crystal panel, and a control circuit configured to control a velocity of a shift in the optical shift element according to the temperature detected by the sensor.

Liquid crystal projector and method for controlling liquid crystal projector

In a liquid crystal projector, in a first liquid crystal panel corresponding to a first color, a gray scale level specified by video data specifies a first value in a first field, and a second value in a second field subsequent to the first field, and in a second liquid crystal panel corresponding to a second color, a gray scale level specified by the video data specifies the first value in the first field, and the second value in the second field. When optical responsiveness of the first liquid crystal panel is better than optical responsiveness of the second liquid crystal panel, in the second field, a liquid crystal voltage applied to the first liquid crystal panel is smaller than a liquid crystal voltage applied to the second liquid crystal panel.
