A circuit apparatus controls a display apparatus including a plurality of light source elements and a display panel. The circuit apparatus includes a resolution reduction circuit and a light source luminance determination circuit. The resolution reduction circuit generates, from input image data, low-resolution image data having a lower resolution than the input image data. The light source luminance determination circuit receives the low-resolution image data. The light source luminance determination circuit determines, by light adjustment processing based on the low-resolution image data, light source luminance information indicating luminance of light emitted by each light source element of the plurality of light source elements.

Circuit apparatus and display system

A circuit apparatus includes a storage unit, an illumination luminance calculation circuit, and a color correction circuit. The storage unit stores a look-up table indicating an attenuation factor distribution of light with respect to a distance between a light source element and a pixel. The illumination luminance calculation circuit calculates, based on attenuation factor information output from the look-up table and light source luminance information indicating luminance of light emitted by each light source element, illumination luminance information indicating luminance at which a target pixel of the display panel is illuminated by a plurality of light source elements. The color correction circuit performs color correction on input image data based on the illumination luminance information. The look-up table outputs the attenuation factor information with a first distance resolution in a first distance range and outputs the attenuation factor information with a second distance resolution higher than the first distance resolution in a second distance range in which a slope of the attenuation factor distribution is larger than that in the first distance range.

Display system and circuit for performing color correction on image data based on attenuation factor distribution of light with respect to distance

A circuit deviceincludes a light source driving value output unitand a pixel value output unit. The light source driving value output unitobtains a corrected intensity image Lled by correcting an intensity image Lint of an input image RGBin in a target display zone based on the light intensity distribution of a light source corresponding to the target display zone, and obtains a light source driving value Ldrv based on the largest corrected intensity value in the corrected intensity image Lled. The pixel value output unitcorrects pixel values of the input image RGBin based on the light source driving value Ldrv, and outputs the corrected pixel values as pixel values of an output image RGBout.
