Abstract
There is provided a display device provided with a display portion, in which pixels having a light-emitting element for self-light-emitting, and a pixel circuit for controlling a current applied to a light-emitting element according to a voltage signal are arranged in a matrix, provided with an average luminance calculation portion calculating an average of luminance of an input video signal, and a light-emitting time setting portion setting a real duty defined every one frame by which light-emitting time for light emitting of the light-emitting element according to a calculated average luminance, wherein the light-emitting time setting portion sets the real duty in such a way that a light-emitting amount defined by a standard duty set beforehand and a maximum luminance among those of a video signal, and a light-emitting amount defined by a real duty to be set and an average luminance become the same as each other.
