Abstract

A display device driving method of driving a display device that includes a display panel including plural pixels, the display device driving method including: calculating, for each of the plural pixels, cumulative stress that is an accumulation of stress corresponding to an output luminance of the pixel; selecting, based on a selection signal input to the display device, one correlation data item from among a plurality of correlation data items each corresponding to a different one of the plural pixels and indicating a relationship between the cumulative stress and an efficiency residual ratio that indicates a degradation degree of the pixel; determining the efficiency residual ratio, based on the one correlation data item and the cumulative stress; and correcting, for each of the plural pixels, a luminance signal corresponding to the pixel, based on the efficiency residual ratio that corresponds to the pixel and is determined in the determining.
