Abstract

The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a display apparatus that allow moving image blur to be more appropriately removed. Moving image blur can be removed by providing a detector detecting a moving image blur video including a video in which moving image blur is easily visible, from videos included in a video content on a basis of a feature amount of the video content. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a signal processing apparatus mounted in a display apparatus such as a liquid crystal display section or a self-luminous display apparatus.

Claims (31)

1. A signal processing apparatus comprising:

a detection section detecting a moving image blur video including a video in which moving image blur is visible, from a video content on a basis of a feature amount of the video content; and

a control section controlling driving of a light emitting section of a display section displaying the video content on a basis of a detection result from the moving image blur video detected,

wherein the detection section detects the moving image blur video in each of division regions into which a region of each video of the video content is divided, and the control section controls driving of the light emitting section for each of the division regions on a basis of a detection result for the moving image blur video in each of the division regions, and

wherein the control section controls driving of the light emitting section on a basis of a detection result for the moving image blur video for an entire region in each video of the video content and a detection result for the moving image blur video for each of the division regions.

2. A signal processing apparatus comprising:

a detection section detecting a moving image blur video including a video in which moving image blur is visible, from a video content on a basis of a feature amount of the video content; and

a control section controlling driving of a light emitting section of a display section displaying the video content on a basis of a detection result from the moving image blur video detected,

wherein one or a plurality of the detection sections is provided, and the control section executes control to perform impulse type driving on the light emitting section according to a degree of easiness with which the moving image blur video detected by the one or plurality of the detection sections is visible,

wherein the feature amount includes a graphic amount of graphics included in the video content, and

wherein the control section suppresses the impulse type driving performed on the light emitting section in a case where the graphic amount is larger than a threshold.

3. A signal processing apparatus comprising:

a detection section detecting a moving image blur video including a video in which moving image blur is visible, from a video content on a basis of a feature amount of the video content; and

a control section controlling driving of a light emitting section of a display section displaying the video content on a basis of a detection result from the moving image blur video detected,

wherein one or a plurality of the detection sections is provided, and the control section executes control to perform impulse type driving on the light emitting section according to a degree of easiness with which the moving image blur video detected by the one or plurality of the detection sections is visible,

wherein the display section includes a liquid crystal display section, the light emitting section includes a backlight provided for the liquid crystal display section, and the control section controls an on period and a current value for the backlight according to a degree of easiness with which the moving image blur is visible, and

wherein the liquid crystal display section includes a plurality of partial display regions into which a display screen is divided, the backlight includes a plurality of partial light emitting sections corresponding to the partial display regions, and the control section executes control to perform the impulse type driving on the partial light emitting section in a case where the video does not focus on a peak luminance.

4. The signal processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the backlight includes a light emitting diode backlight for which a KSF fluorescent substance is adopted, and

the control section controls the light emitting diode backlight to provide a period of turn-on corresponding to a degree of an afterimage caused by a delayed response for red.

5. The signal processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the control section determines a degree of an afterimage included in each video of the video content on a basis of a detection result for visibility of the afterimage, and controls a period for turn-on of the LED backlight to reduce the afterimage according to a corresponding determination result.

6. A signal processing apparatus comprising:

a detection section detecting a moving image blur video including a video in which moving image blur is visible, from a video content on a basis of a feature amount of the video content; and

a control section controlling driving of a light emitting section of a display section displaying the video content on a basis of a detection result from the moving image blur video detected,

wherein one or a plurality of the detection sections is provided, and the control section executes control to perform impulse type driving on the light emitting section according to a degree of easiness with which the moving image blur video detected by the one or plurality of the detection sections is visible, and

wherein the display section includes a self-luminous display section, the light emitting section includes self-luminous elements, the self-luminous elements are provided for subpixels included in pixels two-dimensionally arranged in the self-luminous display section, and the control section controls an on period and a current value for the self-luminous display elements according to the degree of easiness with which the moving image blur is visible.

7. The signal processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the control section controls driving of the light emitting section on a basis of image information related to an applied current applied to the pixels.

8. The signal processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

the control section suppresses the impulse type driving performed on the light emitting section in a case where the pixels for which the applied current is larger than a threshold satisfy a predetermined condition.
