Image display apparatus combining three-in-one with single color light-emitting elements
An image display apparatus comprising a display section provided by pixels arranged in a grid pattern, each of the pixels being formed of a light-emitting element, in which basic grids are repeatedly arranged in a grid pattern, each of the basic grids consisting of four pixels of a 2 by 2 matrix, each of the basic grids having a pattern in which one or two pixels of the four pixels being assigned a three-in-one element including three primary colors of R, G, and B and the remaining pixels being assigned a single-color light-emitting element, and the apparatus comprises processor for correcting a first color reproduction range provided by chromaticities of the three primary colors of R, G, and B to a second color reproduction range by light-emission intensity of the single-color light-emitting element and shifting chromaticity points for the three colors.
1. An image display apparatus comprising:
a display section provided by pixels arranged in a grid pattern, each of the pixels being formed of a light-emitting element, wherein basic grids (square grids) are repeatedly arranged in a grid pattern, each of the basic grids consisting of four pixels of a 2 by 2 matrix, each of the basic grids having a pattern in which one or two pixels of the four pixels being assigned a three-in-one element including three primary colors of R, G, and B and the remaining pixels being assigned a white-color light-emitting element, and
a processor configured to correct a first color reproduction range provided by chromaticities of the three primary colors of R, G, and B to a second color reproduction range by controlling a light emission intensity of the white-color light-emitting element,
wherein the processor is configured to
calculate color data Rd 1 , Gd 1 , and Bd 1 by subtracting a white component Wd 1 from color data Rd, Gd, and Bd for three primary colors, which are input based on the first color reproduction range,
convert the color data Rd 1 , Gd 1 , and Bd 1 into color data Rd 2 , Gd 2 , and Bd 2 in accordance with the second color reproduction range, and
adjust the light-emission intensity of the three-in-one element based on the color data Rd 2 , Gd 2 , and Bd 2 , and adjust the light-emission intensity of the white-color light-emitting element based on a value Wd 2 obtained based on the white component Wd 1 .
2. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the white-color light-emitting element is an LED element.
3. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein: chromaticities of Rd 2 , Gd 2 , and Bd 2 in the second color reproduction range are set to be located on or close to a line connecting points of the chromaticities of the three primary colors of Rd 1 , Gd 1 , and Bd 1 and a point of a chromaticity of a setting value of a white color on a chromaticity diagram.
4. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the second color reproduction range is a color reproduction range adjusted to be close to chromaticity values of three primary colors defined in specifications for television signals.
5. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the three-in-one element is assigned to two pixels located diagonally of the four pixels of the basic grid and the white-color light-emitting element is assigned to the remaining two pixels.
6. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
a gray-color filter is provided only on the front face of the white-color light emitting element.
7. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor shifts the chromaticities of the three primary colors by controlling the light-emission intensity for the three primary colors included in the three-in-one element.
