Self-light-emitting display device, power consumption reduction method, and program
View Patent ↗A self-light-emitting display device includes: a video analyzing section configured to extract a feature portion of video data based on a video signal of the video data to be displayed on an active matrix driven type self-light-emitting display module; a luminance distribution generating section configured to generate, based on the feature portion, a luminance distribution for a region of the feature portion to be displayed on the self-light-emitting display module so that the display brightness of the video data becomes reduced as the distance becomes farther from an arbitrary reference position within the region of the feature portion; and an image combining section configured to combine the luminance distribution with the video signal of the video data to modify the brightness of the video data.
1. A self-light-emitting display device comprising:
circuitry configured to
extract a feature portion of video data based on a video signal of the video data to be displayed on an active matrix driven type self-light-emitting display;
generate, based on the feature portion, a uniform and continuous luminance distribution for a region of the feature portion to be displayed on the self-light-emitting display so that the display brightness of the video data becomes reduced as the distance becomes farther from an arbitrary reference position within the region of the feature portion; and
combine the luminance distribution with the video signal of the video data to modify the brightness of the video data,
wherein the uniform and continuous luminance distribution is parabolic within the region of feature portion, portions of the display area outside the region of the feature portion having a lowest and flat brightness level relative to the arbitrary reference position.
2. The self-light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry recognizes a face of a person to be displayed based on the video data to extract the feature portion.
3. The self-light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry analyzes the amount of travel of an object to be displayed based on the video data to extract the feature portion.
4. The self-light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry detects a still portion in the image to be displayed based on the video data to extract the feature portion.
5. The self-light-emitting display according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry
analyzes a histogram of the video data, and
determines an extent of reduction in display brightness of the video data based on an analysis result of the histogram.
6. The self-light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry divides the screen of the self-light-emitting display into a plurality of regions to extract the feature portion of the video data for each divided region.
7. The self-light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein a brightness of the display area outside the region of the feature portion is constant.
8. A power consumption reduction method comprising:
extracting a feature portion of video data based on a video signal of the video data to be displayed on an active matrix driven type self-light-emitting display;
generating, based on the feature portion, a uniform and continuous luminance distribution for a region of the feature portion to be displayed on the self-light-emitting display so that the display brightness of the video data becomes reduced as the distance becomes farther from an arbitrary reference position within the region of the feature portion; and
