Abstract

A low-resolution image 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 (25)

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

performing a super-resolution processing; and

performing a frame interpolation processing after the super-resolution processing.

2. The method for driving a display device according to claim 1 , wherein performing converting interlace images into progressive images before the super-resolution processing.

3. The method for driving a display device according to claim 1 , wherein the super-resolution processing is performed in parts of regions in a screen.

4. The method for driving a display device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame interpolation processing is performed in parts of regions in a screen.
