A display apparatus is configured to allow a user positioned in a first direction to visually recognize a first image and to allow a user positioned in a second direction different from the first direction to visually recognize a second image. The display apparatus includes a display unit that alternately displays the first and second images; an irradiation unit that provides irradiation light; a color filter that respectively includes first and second areas for the first and second images, through which the irradiation light is transmitted; and a distribution unit that distributes the irradiation light transmitted through the first area of the color filter to the first direction and through the second area of the color filter to the second direction. The color filter includes color components of three primary colors and a white color.

Display apparatus and electronic apparatus

According to an aspect, a display device includes an image display panel on which pixels each including sub-pixels for displaying a first color, a second color, a third color, and a fourth color are arranged, and a signal processing unit that converts an input value of an input signal for an input HSV color space into an output signal for an extended HSV color space. The signal processing unit divides the extended HSV color space into a plurality of spaces, sets limit proportion values different from each other with respect to at least two spaces of the divided spaces respectively, calculates an extension coefficient &#x3b1; with respect to the input signal by using the input signal and a limit proportion value set with respect to a space according to the input signal, and calculates the output signal based on at least the input signal and the extension coefficient &#x3b1;.

Display device including signal processing unit that converts an input signal for an input HSV color space, electronic apparatus including the display device, and drive method for the display device

A liquid crystal display panel is provided and includes a pair of substrates facing each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween. One of the substrates having, thereon, an upper electrode having a plurality of slits formed therein, a lower electrode facing the upper electrode with an insulating film therebetween and disposed so as to be adjacent to the substrate, and an alignment film formed so as to cover surfaces of the upper electrode and the insulating film. Each of the slits includes a linear portion disposed so as to be parallel to a liquid crystal alignment direction when no voltage is applied and two extension portions extending from both ends of the linear portion so that a distance between the two extension portions increases in a direction perpendicular to the linear portion while keeping a symmetrical shape with respect to the direction.

Liquid crystal display panel

A liquid crystal display panelof the present invention includes an array substratewith a display region in which a pixel electrode is formed in each of the regions enclosed by a plurality of signal lines and scan lines deployed as matrices, a opposed substratewith a common electrode, a sealing agentsealing a peripheral portion of the array substrateand the opposed substrate, a liquid crystal layer sealed between both substrates, a border regionincluding a reflectorand a transparent electrodeis formed on an interlayerat a periphery of the display region of the array substrate, and at least a part of an outer peripheral side is lacking from the common electrodeat a position corresponding to the border region. Thanks to such structure, the border region improves the appearance at the periphery of the display region, and the phenomenon of night vision alongside the scan line wiring does not occur.

Liquid crystal display panel having an ornamental reflector deployed around the periphery of a display region

A liquid crystal display panelof the invention has: an array substrate with a display regionin which a pixel electrode is formed in each of the regions enclosed by a plurality of signal lines and scan lines deployed as matrices; a opposed substrate with a common electrode; and a liquid crystal layer that is sealed between the array substrate and the opposed substrate by means of sealing agentthat seals together the peripheries of the two substrates. Features are: the periphery of the array substrate's display regionis covered by a border regionthat has a reflectorand a continuous transparent electrodethe outer periphery of the border regionis sealed by the sealing agentand the border region's transparent electrodeis electrically coupled to the common electrode. Thanks to such structure, the border region improves the appearance at the periphery of the display region, and the phenomenon of night vision alongside the scan line wiring does not occur.
