Abstract

A display system includes a display unit that displays pixels with a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and a correction circuit that sets a color temperature for white luminescence. When the pixels perform display in a first tone that is the same tone with the red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel, and blue sub-pixel, the correction circuit sets a first color temperature as a white point. When the pixels perform display in a second tone that is lower than the first tone and that is the same tone with the red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel, and blue sub-pixel, the correction circuit sets a second color temperature different from the first color temperature as the white point.

Claims (23)

1. A display system comprising:

a display unit including a plurality of sub-pixels and configured to display a color in a tone set for each of the plurality of sub-pixels; and

a correction circuit configured to correct the color displayed by the plurality of sub-pixels in accordance with the tone set for each of the plurality of sub-pixels, wherein

the correction circuit is further configured to compare chromaticity of the color to a predetermined threshold value,

when the chromaticity of the color is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the correction circuit corrects the color with a first color temperature as a white point, the first color temperature being a color temperature of a case where all of the plurality of sub-pixels display white in a predetermined first tone and

when the chromaticity of the color is smaller than the predetermined threshold value, the correction circuit corrects the color with a second color temperature different from the first color temperature as the white point, the second color temperature being a color temperature of a case where all of the plurality of sub-pixels display white in a predetermined second tone, the predetermined second tone being lower than the predetermined first tone.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first color temperature and the second color temperature correspond to a color temperature locus of black-body radiation.

3. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein the first color temperature is higher than the second color temperature.

4. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein the first color temperature is lower than the second color temperature.

5. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the correction circuit includes a tone setting unit and

the tone setting unit sets the first color temperature and the second color temperature.

6. The display system according to claim 5 , wherein

the correction circuit includes a rank determination unit,

the rank determination unit determines whether a rank is at least a rank A or a rank B in accordance with a color gamut of a low tone equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value of the color,

when the rank determination unit determines that the rank is the rank A, the tone setting unit sets, in accordance with the predetermined tones different from each other, a plurality of color temperatures set at a time of the white display, and

when the rank determination unit determines that the rank is the rank B, the tone setting unit sets one color temperature set at the time of the white display.

7. A display system comprising:

a display unit including a plurality of sub-pixels and configured to display a color in a tone set for each of the plurality of sub-pixels; and

a correction circuit configured to correct the color displayed by the plurality of sub-pixels in accordance with the tone set for each of the plurality of sub-pixels, wherein

when chromaticity of the color is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the correction circuit corrects the color with a first color temperature as a white point, the first color temperature being a color temperature of a case where all of the plurality of sub-pixels display white in a predetermined first tone and

when the chromaticity of the color is smaller than the predetermined threshold value, the correction circuit corrects the color with a second color temperature different from the first color temperature as the white point, the second color temperature being a color temperature of a case where all of the plurality of sub-pixels display white in a predetermined second tone, the predetermined second tone being lower than the predetermined first tone,

wherein the correction circuit includes a rank determination unit, the rank determination unit determines whether a rank is at least a rank A or a rank B in accordance with a color gamut of a low tone equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value of the color.
