Abstract

A low-resolution is displayed at high resolution and power consumption is reduced. Resolution is made higher by super-resolution processing. Then, display is performed with the luminance of a backlight controlled by local dimming after the super resolution processing. By controlling the luminance of the backlight, power consumption can be reduced. Further, by performing the local dimming after the super-resolution processing, accurate display can be performed.

Claims (20)

1. A method for driving an electronic device comprising a display device, the method comprising:

forming first image data by super-resolution processing from second image data; and

displaying the first image data on the display device,

wherein the electronic device is configured to vary intensity of the super-resolution processing on each portion of the second image data depending on content of the second image data.

2. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming the second image data from third image data by performing an enlarging processing,

wherein a resolution of the second image data is higher than a resolution of the third image data.

3. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the resolution of the second image data is equal to a resolution of the first image data.

4. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the super-resolution processing is not performed on a flat portion of the second image data.

5. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the super-resolution processing is performed on a textual portion of the second image data.

6. A method for driving an electronic device comprising a display device, the method comprising:

forming first image data by super-resolution processing from second image data; and

displaying the first image data on the display device,

wherein, when the second image data contains a flat portion and a textual portion, intensity of the super-resolution processing of the flat portion is different from intensity of the super-resolution processing of the textual portion.

7. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 6 , further comprising:

forming the second image data from third image data by performing an enlarging processing,

wherein a resolution of the second image data is higher than a resolution of the third image data.

8. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the resolution of the second image data is equal to a resolution of the first image data.

9. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the super-resolution processing is not performed on the flat portion.

10. The method for driving the electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the super-resolution processing is performed on the textual portion.
