Display device and control method for display device

Abstract

Disclosed is a display device that (i) converts an input image formed of R, G, and B into a converted image formed of R, G, B, and W to display the converted image and that (ii) compresses the luminance of an input image for the subsequent frame on the basis of an adjustment value C which is corrected in correspondence with the number of, among all pixels in a converted image for the current frame, pixels in a state of luminance saturation and that then converts the input image into a converted image, the display device including a luminance oscillation detecting section () for detecting, while input images identical to each other are being inputted each as the above input image, whether converted images corresponding to the respective input images have an oscillating luminance, the display device, in the case where the luminance oscillation detecting section () has detected that the converted images have an oscillating luminance, stopping correction of the adjustment value C to fix the adjustment value C to a certain value, thereby preventing the converted images from having an oscillating luminance as a result of oscillation of the adjustment value C.
