Display device
A display device includes: a target pixel; observation target pixels located adjacent to the target pixel; and a grayscale corrector for converting an input grayscale value corresponding to the target pixel with reference to observation target grayscale values corresponding to the observation target pixels. The grayscale corrector includes: a light emitting pixel counter for providing a number of light emitting pixels by counting a number of observation target pixels that exceeds a reference value; and a grayscale converter for providing a converted grayscale value by converting the input grayscale value, based on the number of light emitting pixels.
1. A display device comprising:
first pixels configured to emit light of a first color;
second pixels configured to emit light of a second color; and
third pixels configured to emit light of a third color,
wherein, when a target pixel is set to one of the first pixels, when observation pixels are set to pixels located adjacent to the target pixel, and when the target pixel and all of the observation pixels emit light, the target pixel emits light of a first luminance in response to a first input grayscale value,
wherein, when the target pixel is set to one of the first pixels, when the observation pixels are set to pixels located adjacent to the target pixel, and when the target pixel emits light but none of the observation pixels emit light, the target pixel emits light of a second luminance higher than the first luminance in response to the first input grayscale value,
wherein, when the target pixel is set to one of the third pixels, when observation pixels are set to pixels located adjacent to the target pixel, and when the target pixel and all of the observation pixels emit light, the target pixel emits light of a third luminance in response to the first input grayscale value, and
wherein, when the target pixel is set to one of the third pixels, when the observation pixels are set to pixels located adjacent to the target pixel, and when the target pixel emits light but none of the observation pixels emit light, the target pixel emits light of a fourth luminance lower than the third luminance in response to the first input grayscale value.
2. The display device of claim 1 ,
wherein, when the target pixel is set to one of the first pixels and when the target pixel emits light and only one of the observation pixels emits light, the target pixel emits light of a fifth luminance between the first luminance and the second luminance in response to the first input grayscale value.
3. The display device of claim 2 ,
wherein, when the target pixel is set to one of the first pixels and when the target pixel emits light and only two of the observation pixels emit light, the target pixel emits light of a sixth luminance between the first luminance and the fifth luminance in response to the first input grayscale value.
4. The display device of claim 3 ,
wherein, when the target pixel is set to one of the first pixels and when the target pixel emits light and only three of the observation pixels emit light, the target pixel emits light of a seventh luminance between the first luminance and the sixth luminance in response to the first input grayscale value.
