Abstract

According to an aspect, a display device includes a signal processing unit that converts an input value of a input HSV color space of an input signal into an extension value of an extended HSV color space extended with a first color, a second color, a third color, and a fourth color to generate an output signal; performs peaking processing for analyzing the input signal of the imaged image to detect a focusing region; and determines whether to perform display in a peaking mode for highlighting the focusing region. When it is determined to perform display in the peaking mode, the signal processing unit increases a value of the output signal of the fourth color of a pixel in an outer edge of the focusing region.

Claims (23)

1. A display device that displays an imaged image, the display device comprising:

an image display panel in which pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, each of the pixels including a first sub-pixel that displays a first color, a second sub-pixel that displays a second color, a third sub-pixel that displays a third color, and a fourth sub-pixel that displays a fourth color; and

a signal processing unit that converts an input value of an input HSV color space of an input signal into an extension value of an extended HSV color space extended with the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color to generate an output signal, and outputs the output signal to the image display panel, wherein

the signal processing unit comprises:

an image processing unit that converts the input value of the input HSV color space of the input signal into the extension value of the extended HSV color space extended with the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color, to generate the output signal;

an image processing unit that performs peaking processing for analyzing the input signal of the imaged image to detect a focusing region in which a subject exists at a focal position; and

a mode determination unit that determines whether to perform display in a peaking mode for highlighting the focusing region, and

when the mode determination unit determines to perform display in the peaking mode, the signal processing unit increases a value of the output signal of the fourth color of a pixel in an outer edge of the focusing region.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the mode determination unit determines to perform display in the peaking mode, the signal processing unit sets each value of the output signals of the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color of the pixel in the outer edge of the focusing region to be a maximum value.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the mode determination unit determines to perform display in the peaking mode, the signal processing unit sets the value of the output signal of the fourth color of the pixel in the outer edge of the focusing region to be a maximum value.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the mode determination unit determines to perform display in the peaking mode, the signal processing unit converts the input value of a pixel in a region other than the focusing region into the extension value of the extended HSV color space extended with the first color, the second color, and the third color, and converts the input value of the pixel in the outer edge of the focusing region into the extension value of the extended HSV color space extended with the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color, to generate the output signal.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the signal processing unit performs processing for enhancing luminance by multiplying the output signal by an expansion coefficient in processing for converting the input value of the input HSV color space of the input signal into the extension value of the extended HSV color space extended with the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color, to generate the output signal, and

when the mode determination unit determines to perform display in the peaking mode,

the expansion coefficient with respect to the output signal of the pixel in the outer edge of the focusing region is caused to be larger than the expansion coefficient with respect to the output signal of the pixel in the region other than the focusing region.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth color is white.

7. A method for driving a display device that displays an imaged image,

the display device comprising an image display panel in which pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, each of the pixels including a first sub-pixel that displays a first color, a second sub-pixel that displays a second color, a third sub-pixel that displays a third color, and a fourth sub-pixel that displays a fourth color,

the method comprising:

detecting an input value of an input HSV color space of an input signal;

determining whether to perform display in a peaking mode for highlighting a focusing region, in which a subject exists at a focal position, in the imaged image;

performing peaking processing for analyzing the input signal of the imaged image to detect the focusing region when it is determined to perform display in the peaking mode; and

converting the input value into an extension value of an extended HSV color space extended with the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color to generate an output signal, increasing a value of the output signal of the fourth color of a pixel in an outer edge of the focusing region, and outputting the output signal to the image display panel.
