Liquid crystal display
A liquid crystal display includes: a light source section; a liquid crystal display panel including pixels each configured of sub-pixels of three colors red (R), green (G) and blue (B) and a sub-pixel of a color (Z) with higher luminance than the three colors; and a display control section including an output signal generation section performing a display drive on the sub-pixels of R, G, B and Z with use of the output picture signals. A chromaticity point of the emission light from the light source section is set to a position deviated from a white chromaticity point. In the case where the input picture signals are picture signals indicating white (W), the output signal generation section performs a chromaticity point adjustment to adjust, to the white chromaticity point, a chromaticity point of display light emitted from the liquid crystal display panel based on the emission light.
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
a light source section;
a liquid crystal display panel including a plurality of pixels each configured of sub-pixels of three colors red (R), green (G) and blue (B) and a sub-pixel of a color (Z) with higher luminance than the three colors, and modulating, based on input picture signals corresponding to the three colors R, G and B, emission light from the light source section to display a picture; and
a display control section including an output signal generation section which performs a predetermined conversion process based on the input picture signals to generate output picture signals corresponding to four colors R, G, B and Z, and performing a display drive on each of the sub-pixels of R, G, B and Z in the liquid crystal display panel with use of the output picture signals,
wherein a chromaticity point of the emission light from the light source section is set to a position deviated from a white chromaticity point, and
in the case where the input picture signals are picture signals indicating white (W), the output signal generation section performs a chromaticity point adjustment in the conversion process to adjust, to the white chromaticity point, a chromaticity point of display light emitted from the liquid crystal display panel based on the emission light from the light source section.
2. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein
the output signal generation section performs, as the conversion process, the chromaticity point adjustment based on the input picture signals and a predetermined color conversion process on picture signals as resultants of the chromaticity point adjustment, thereby generating the output picture signals.
3. The liquid crystal display according to claim 2 , wherein
the output signal generation section generates a lighting signal in the light source section based on the input picture signals and performs a predetermined diming process based on the input picture signals and the lighting signal and the chromaticity point adjustment on picture signals as resultants of the dimming process, and
the display control section performs the display drive with use of the output picture signals and a light-emission drive on the light source section with use of the lighting signal.
4. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the pixels includes the sub-pixels of three colors R, G and B, and a sub-pixel of white (W) as the sub-pixel of Z.
5. The liquid crystal display according to claim 4 , wherein
while color filters corresponding to colors R, G and B are provided for the sub-pixels of the three colors, a color filter is not provided for the sub-pixel of W.
6. The liquid crystal display according to claim 5 , wherein
the chromaticity point of emission light from the light source section is set to a side closer to yellow (Y) than the white chromaticity point.
7. The liquid crystal display according to claim 6 , wherein
a yellow pigment is dispersed in the sub-pixel of W.
