A display device includes a housing, a display panel, a light source, a first acquirer, a second acquirer, and a stabilizer. The display panel is provided in the housing. The light source is provided in the housing, and includes an LED that irradiates the display panel with light. The first acquirer acquires a first temperature in a first region including a region where the light source is disposed in the housing. The second acquirer acquires a second temperature in a second region different from the first region. The stabilizer has a first adjustment mode for lighting the LED with maximum luminance as an adjustment mode for stabilizing luminance of the LED. The stabilizer operates the LED in the first adjustment mode in a case where a temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is a first threshold value or more.

Display device

A display device that can adjust brightness of each of a plurality of regions of an image by performing local dimming executes local dimming in a case of displaying a multi-color image (color image), and does not execute local dimming in a case of displaying a grayscale image. Moreover, in a case of displaying a mixed image of a multi-color image and a grayscale image, the display device does not execute local dimming in regions including a grayscale image among a plurality of regions of an image. Displaying a multi-color image at high contrast and displaying a grayscale image at high tone reproduction are both achieved.

Display device and television receiver

In a display apparatus provided with a backlight which includes a plurality of color components and emits light of a color of white or other colors and with a liquid crystal display section, RGB values for identifying a color of light which passes through the liquid crystal display section assuming that the backlight emits white light are calculated, first RGB values representing a transmittance of the liquid crystal display section are calculated based on the RGB values, and the liquid crystal display section is driven based on the first RGB values.

Display apparatus, drive method, and recording medium

When conducting video display with a wide color gamut display based on a video signal conforming to a standard (sRGB standard and the like) having a color reproduction range narrower than that of the wide color gamut display, the video processing circuitcorrects a color in a prescribed correction target color range partly including a red hue reference range as a center part in the color range of an equal hue from achromatic colors having the lowest saturation to red having the highest saturation in an expanded color reproduction range but not including red having the highest saturation in the expanded color reproduction range, so that the hue may change to a hue akin to yellow in the expanded color reproduction range. In so doing, the hue in the red hue reference range changes to red hue in the color reproduction range conforming to the sRBG standard. Furthermore, the hue change ratio into the hue akin to yellow becomes smaller in a color having a long distance from the red hue reference range in the expanded color reproduction range than a color having a distance close thereto. As a result, the wide color gamut display displayable of bright red having a high saturation can be fully utilized, while at the same time solving the problem of hue displacement in displaying red having an intermediate saturation.

Video display device

The occurrence of the halo phenomenon caused in a display panel unit is detected in a liquid crystal display device that displays an image in the display panel unit including color filters of a plurality of colors by respectively controlling emission ratios of a plurality of LEDs emitting lights of colors respectively corresponding to the plurality of color filters. Upon detection, a part of the display panel unit, for example, the channel number and the vicinity thereof are set as a non-detection area in which the detection of the halo phenomenon is restricted and the remaining area is set as a detection area. The chroma of light, which corresponds to mixed light from the plurality of LEDs, is reduced by controlling the emission ratios of the LEDs on the basis of the detection result in the detection area, so that the color of light is closer to white.

Image display device and image display method

It is expected to provide an image display apparatus and image display method that can reduce the risk that an image quality is undermined due to a halo phenomenon caused by the leak of light passing through a non-corresponding color filter from a LED. The image display apparatus can respectively control luminous efficiencies of plural color LEDs, i.e., R-LED (), G-LED () and B-LED () that emit light through a color filter to a displaying unit. The image display apparatus obtains luminous efficiencies for a frame of RGB image signal (S), calculates a light leak amount and then detects whether the halo phenomenon may occur or not (S-S). When the halo phenomenon is considered to occur, the luminous efficiencies of LEDs () included in the liquid crystal display apparatus are controlled to make the light from the LEDs () become close to white light (S).
