View Patent ↗An image processing apparatus is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes a display panel and comprises a control section configured to control a duty pulse width for controlling an illumination period within a horizontal line period on a timing synchronized with a horizontal synchronization pulse.
1. An image processing apparatus including a display panel having display pixels, comprising:
a control section configured to control a width of a duty pulse for controlling an illumination period of a light emitting element in one of the display pixels within a horizontal line period at a timing synchronized with a horizontal synchronization pulse; and
a calculation section configured to calculate power consumed by the display panel in the horizontal line period,
wherein the control section is configured to switch a first duty pulse having a first illumination period and a second duty pulse having a second illumination period different from the first illumination period based on the calculated power.
2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the illumination period is maintained at 20% of the horizontal line period.
3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the illumination period is maintained at 35% of the horizontal line period.
4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the illumination period is maintained at 40% of the horizontal line period.
5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the power consumed by the display panel is calculated by multiplying a panel current value by a power supply voltage value of the display panel.
6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel has self-luminous elements and pixel circuits forming a matrix.
7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the duty pulse comprises a low level and a high level, and a length of the low level controls a length of the illumination period.
8. An electronic device including a display panel having display pixels, comprising:
a control section configured to control a width of a duty pulse for controlling an illumination period of a light emitting element in one of the display pixels within a horizontal line period at a timing synchronized with a horizontal synchronization pulse; and
a calculation section configured to calculate power consumed by the display panel in the horizontal line period,
wherein the control section is configured to switch a first duty pulse having a first illumination period and a second duty pulse having a second illumination period different from the first illumination period based on the calculated power.
9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the illumination period is maintained at 20% of the horizontal line period.
10. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the illumination period is maintained at 35% of the horizontal line period.
11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the illumination period is maintained at 40% of the horizontal line period.
12. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the power consumed by the display panel is calculated by multiplying a panel current value by a power supply voltage value of the display panel.
13. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the display panel has self-luminous elements and pixel circuits forming a matrix.
14. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the duty pulse comprises a low level and a high level, and a length of the low level controls a length of the illumination period.
