Abstract
In an LED display system, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of suppressing power consumption of a plurality of LED display devices by synchronizing power saving control by each controller. Each controller includes a control circuit, a signal line, an average brightness value communication unit, and a video signal distribution unit. The control circuit calculates an average brightness value Yave of pixels constituting a frame and generates a READY signal. The average brightness value communication unit outputs the average brightness value to the signal line after detecting the completion of calculation of the average brightness values of all the controllers. The control circuit calculates a common brightness correction coefficient Cy based on the average brightness value Yave. The video signal distribution unit distributes the video signal and the common brightness correction coefficient Cy to the single LED unit.
