Abstract

A display device includes an auto current limiter (ACL) circuit and a luminance control circuit. The ACL circuit acquires a first parameter on the basis of luminance-related data of input image data, and then acquires a second parameter by applying a luminance control parameter from the luminance control circuit to the first parameter. The ACL circuit corrects the input image data by a second correction function acquired from the second parameter.

Claims (13)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a gray-level correction circuit; and

a luminance control circuit which controls luminance of the display panel, wherein

the gray-level correction circuit

acquires a first parameter for generating a first correction function on the basis of luminance-related data of input image data,

corrects the first parameter on the basis of a luminance control parameter related to control of the luminance of the display panel from the luminance control circuit,

acquires a second parameter for generating a second correction function, and

corrects a gray level of the input image data on the basis of the second correction function,

wherein the luminance-related data of the input image data is a lighting rate which is calculated on the basis of a value obtained by dividing a frame luminance, which is a sum of luminances of all of pixels in the display panel based on the input image data for one frame, by a product of the number of all the pixels in the display panel and a gray-level value indicating maximum luminance.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the luminance control parameter includes a PWM parameter which is supplied from the luminance control circuit to a PWM control circuit to control the luminance of the display panel.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the luminance control parameter includes a gamma voltage setup value which is supplied from the luminance control circuit to a gamma circuit to control the luminance of the display panel.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the luminance control circuit corrects the gray level of the input image data if a value of the luminance control parameter is a value which makes a luminance setting for the display panel not less than a prescribed value.
