Display device and image data correction method

1. A display device including a display unit in which a plurality of pixels each including an organic light-emitting element are provided, the display device comprising:

a calculation unit that calculates an increment of a deterioration amount of the organic light-emitting element included in each of the pixels, based on gradation data included in image data displayed in the display unit;

an accumulation unit that accumulates, every fixed time, the increment of the deterioration amount calculated by the calculation unit; and

a correction unit that corrects luminance of the pixel based on a total amount of increments of the deterioration amount accumulated by the accumulation unit, wherein

after correcting the luminance of the pixel, in a case where a maximum value of the luminance of the pixel is equal to or less than an upper limit value that allows display of the display unit, the correction unit corrects luminance of a pixel whose organic light-emitting element is deteriorated, in accordance with luminance of a pixel whose organic light-emitting element is not deteriorated, and

after correcting the luminance of the pixel, in a case where the maximum value of the luminance of the pixel exceeds the upper limit value, the correction unit corrects luminance of a pixel other than a pixel whose total amount of the increments of the deterioration amount accumulated by the accumulation unit is largest, in accordance with luminance of the pixel whose total amount of the increments of the deterioration amount accumulated by the accumulation unit is largest.

2. A display device including a display unit in which a plurality of pixels each including an organic light-emitting element are provided, the display device comprising:

a calculation unit that calculates an increment of a deterioration amount of the organic light-emitting element included in each of the pixels, based on gradation data included in image data displayed in the display unit;

an accumulation unit, that accumulates, every fixed time, the increment of the deterioration amount calculated by the calculation unit;

a correction unit that corrects luminance of the pixel based on a total amount of increments of the deterioration amount accumulated by the accumulation unit;

an adjustment unit that adjusts luminance of a pixel in accordance with a peripheral brightness; and

an average calculation unit that calculates an average of luminance of all the pixels based on the image data, wherein

in a case where the average calculated by the average calculation unit is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold, the correction unit corrects luminance of a pixel other than a pixel whose total amount of the increments of the deterioration amount accumulated by the accumulation unit is largest, in accordance with luminance of the pixel whose total amount of the increments of the deterioration amount accumulated by the accumulation unit is largest, and

in a case where the average calculated by the average calculation unit is less than the predetermined threshold, the correction unit corrects luminance of a pixel whose organic light-emitting element is deteriorated, in accordance with luminance of a pixel whose organic light-emitting element is not deteriorated.

3. An image data correction method in a display device including a display unit in which a plurality of pixels each including an organic light-emitting element are provided, the method comprising:

a calculation step of calculating an increment of a deterioration amount of the organic light-emitting element included in each of the pixels, based on gradation data included in image data displayed in the display unit;

an accumulation step of accumulating, every fixed time, the increment of the deterioration amount calculated at the calculation step; and

a correction step of correcting luminance of the pixel based on the deterioration amount accumulated at the accumulation step, wherein

at the correction step,

after correcting the luminance of the pixel, in a case where a maximum value of the luminance of the pixel is equal to or less than an upper limit value that allows display of the display unit, luminance of a pixel whose organic light-emitting element is deteriorated is corrected in accordance with luminance of a pixel whose organic light-emitting element is not deteriorated, and

after correcting the luminance of the pixel, in a case where the maximum value of the luminance of the pixel exceeds the upper limit value, luminance of a pixel other than a pixel whose total amount of increments of the deterioration amount accumulated at the accumulation step is largest is corrected in accordance with luminance of the pixel whose total amount of the increments of the deterioration amount accumulated at the accumulation step is largest.
