Abstract

An image processing device includes: a gain calculation section determining a gain, on the basis of a first partial image in a first frame image that includes a process target line; and a correction section correcting pixel luminance information regarding the process target line, on the basis of the gain.

Claims (14)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display section displaying an image by performing line sequential scanning;

a gain calculation section determining a gain for each line, on the basis of a first partial image in a first frame image that includes a process target line, the first partial image being located in a location that precedes the process target line in a scanning direction of the first frame image; and

a correction section correcting pixel luminance information regarding the process target line, on the basis of the gain, wherein

the gain calculation section determines a first gain portion on the basis of the first partial image and a third gain portion on the basis of an entire second frame image, the second frame image preceding the first frame image,

the gain calculation section determines the gain, on the basis of the first gain portion and the third gain portion, and

the gain calculation section makes a comparison between the first gain portion and the third gain portion, and sets the gain to the first gain portion or the third gain portion, in accordance with a result of the comparison.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display section includes a plurality of display pixels, and

each of the display pixels includes a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, a third sub-pixel, and a fourth sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel corresponding to respective wavelengths that are different from one another, and the fourth sub-pixel emitting color light of a color that is different from a color of color light which the first sub-pixel emits, a color of color light which the second sub-pixel emits, and a color of color light which the third sub-pixel emits.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the pixel luminance information is luminance information regarding each of the sub-pixels, and

the correction section increases the respective pieces of pixel luminance information regarding the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel, and the fourth sub-pixel in the process target line, as the gain increases.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel, and the fourth sub-pixel emit the red color light, the green color light, the blue color light, and the white color light, respectively.
