A display device includes a first processing circuit mounted on a substrate separate from a translucent substrate constituting a display panel, and a second processing circuit mounted on the translucent substrate. The first and the second processing circuits receive the same image data. The first processing circuit includes a determination unit that uses color values of a plurality of pixels constituting an image based on the image data to determine an expansion coefficient value serving as a value for improving luminance of the image, and outputs the expansion coefficient value to the second processing circuit. The second processing circuit includes an expansion processing unit that uses the expansion coefficient value to provide expansion processing for improving the luminance of the image for the image based on the image data.

Display device, display system, and image processing circuit

According to an aspect, a display device includes an image display unit in which pixels each including a plurality of sub-pixels are arranged in a matrix, and a color converting unit that performs color conversion to reduce power consumption in the image display unit. The color converting unit does not perform the color conversion when total power consumption obtained by adding up the power consumption in the image display unit and power consumption in the color converting unit in a case where the color conversion is performed exceeds the power consumption in the image display unit in a case where the color conversion is not performed.

Display device, electronic apparatus, and color conversion method

According to an aspect, a color conversion device includes a signal processing unit and a signal output unit. When a color specified in a predetermined color space by color data based on input signals is a color outside a defined color gamut defined in the color space, the signal processing unit generates in-defined-gamut data, and when the color specified in the color space by the color data based on the input signals is a color on a border of or inside the defined color gamut, the signal processing unit does not convert the color data based on the input signals into color data of a color different from that specified by the color data based on the input signals, and generates in-defined-gamut data identical to the color data based on the input signals, and. The signal processing unit generates output signals based on the in-defined-gamut data.

Color conversion device, display device, and color conversion method

According to an aspect, a display device includes a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, a third sub-pixel; and a fourth sub-pixel. A signal obtained based on at least an input signal for the first sub-pixel and an extension coefficient is supplied to the first sub-pixel. A signal obtained based on at least an input signal for the second sub-pixel and the extension coefficient is supplied to the second sub-pixel. A signal obtained based on at least an input signal for the third sub-pixel and the extension coefficient is supplied to the third sub-pixel.
