Embodiments of the invention provide an image display device comprising a rotating section having a plurality of light emitting elements. The rotating section rotates about a center and presents an image. A sensor detects an object, and a display controller controls presentation of the image based at least in part on detection of an object by the sensor.

Three-dimensional image display device, method of manufacturing the same, and three-dimensional image display method

A stereoscopic picture is viewable from all directions with high reproducibility without complicating a stereoscopic display mechanism, compared to related art. A cylindrical rotation sectionrotating around a rotation shaft as a rotation center, a two-dimensional light-emitting element arraymounted in the rotation section and having a light-emission surface formed of a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in a matrix, and a slitarranged in a circumferential surface of the rotation section in a position facing the light-emission surface are included. As the two-dimensional light-emitting element array, a two-dimensional light-emitting element array including a curved portion with a concave surface which is formed as a light-emission surface is used. The plurality of light-emitting elements emit light, which corresponds to orientation of the light-emission surface, to outside of the rotation section through the slit

Stereoscopic picture display, method of manufacturing the same and stereoscopic picture display method

A display device to display an image corresponding to image signals in a display area is provided. The display device includes a backlight including individually placed light sources corresponding to areas in the display area; a panel that includes pixels corresponding to the display area and that changes transmittance of light from the light sources in units of pixels; a panel control unit to individually set emission brightness of each of the light sources in accordance with the image signals and set the transmittance of light in each of the pixels in accordance with the emission brightness; a storage unit to store a nonlinear conversion table to convert the emission brightness to a light source control value for the backlight; and a backlight control unit to convert the emission brightness to the light source control value in accordance with the nonlinear conversion table and supply the light source control value to the backlight.

Display device and display control method

A method driving an LCD assembly, the LCD assembly including a transmission-type LCD including a display area configured of pixels, a planar-light-source device illuminating the display area, and a driving circuit driving the planar-light-source device and LCD; wherein the driving circuit supplies a control signal controlling the optical transmittance of each pixel to each pixel, the method comprising, for each frame with LCD image display, the steps of: controlling the luminance of the planar-light-source device by the driving circuit such that, when assuming that the control signal equivalent to a driving signal having the maximum value of driving signals input to the driving circuit driving all the pixels making up the display area is supplied to a pixel, the luminance of the pixel is obtained; and controlling the luminance of the planar-light-source device by the driving circuit based on the response speed of a liquid-crystal material making up the pixels.
