Display device and terminal device

1. A display device comprising:

a display region including a plurality of display pixels, the display region being configured to display an image in accordance with image data input from an external device;

a plurality of dummy pixels disposed outside the display region;

one or more light blocking films covering the plurality of dummy pixels on the side to be viewed; and

a control circuit configured to control the display region and the plurality of dummy pixels,

wherein the display region includes:

a first region, and

a second region having a lower display pixel density than the first region,

wherein a number of display pixels in the second region is the same as a number of the plurality of dummy pixels and the display pixels disposed in the second region are associated with the plurality of dummy pixels,

wherein each of the plurality of display pixels and the plurality of dummy pixels includes a light-emitting element that emits light in response to driving current,

wherein each of the plurality of dummy pixels and the associated display pixel in the second region include light-emitting elements of a same color, and

wherein the control circuit is configured to:

supply the display pixels in the second region with driving current higher than driving current for the display pixels in the first region for a same grayscale level specified in image data,

in a normal operation, supply each of the plurality of dummy pixels with a same emission current as an emission current of the image data for the associated display pixel in the second region,

in a deterioration measurement operation, supply each of the plurality of dummy pixels with an emission current for deterioration measurement independent of supply of the emission current of the image data for the associated display pixel in the second region to determine a resistance value of the light-emitting element of each of the plurality of dummy pixels by measuring current flowing through the light-emitting element while applying a fixed voltage to the light-emitting element or measuring voltage of the light-emitting element while supplying a fixed current to the light-emitting element, the resistance value representing deterioration of the light-emitting element of each of the plurality of dummy pixels, and

adjust data signals for the display pixels in the second region associated with the plurality of dummy pixels based on results of the resistance value.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a touch screen disposed on the side to be viewed of the display region,

wherein the touch screen includes light blocking conductive films connecting transparent electrode pieces, and

wherein the one or more light blocking films are located on a same layer as the light blocking conductive films.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display device comprises a plurality of light blocking films, and

wherein each of the plurality of light blocking films covers one or more of the plurality of dummy pixels on the side to be viewed.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of dummy pixels is connected with a scanning line configured to select a display pixel row in the display region.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to measure deterioration of the light-emitting elements of one or more dummy pixels while stopping light emission of all dummy pixels other than the one or more dummy pixels of measurement targets.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to measure deterioration of the light-emitting elements of one or more dummy pixels while supplying the one or more dummy pixels of measurement targets with data signals specifying a highest brightness.

7. A terminal device comprising:

the display device according to claim 1 ; and

one or more cameras disposed under the second region.
