Abstract

A display system including a display device and an image processing device is provided. The display device includes a second display panel overlapping with a first display panel on the display surface side. The second display panel has a region that transmits visible light adjacent to a display region. The region that transmits visible light of the second display panel overlaps with a display region of the first display panel, which makes a non-display region between display regions of two display panels in the display device small. The image processing device has a function of correcting the gray scale, which is included in image data, corresponding to at least one of a portion overlapping with the region that transmits visible light and a portion not overlapping with the region in the display region of the first display panel.

Claims (28)

1. A display system comprising:

a first display panel comprising a first region;

a second display panel comprising a second region; and

an arithmetic portion configured to produce a second image signal by correcting a first image signal on the basis of a correction data, and supply the second image signal to the first display panel,

wherein the first region is configured to display an image,

wherein the second region is configured to transmit visible light,

wherein the first region comprises a first portion overlapping with the second region, and

wherein the second image signal is a signal in which gray scale corresponding to the first portion is corrected, or a signal in which gray scale corresponding to at least part of the first region excluding the first portion is corrected.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the second image signal is subjected to gamma correction.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first display panel and the second display panel has flexibility.

4. The display system according to claim 1 , further comprising a light-transmitting layer overlapping with the first portion of the first region,

wherein the light-transmitting layer is provided between a display surface of the first display panel and an opposite surface of a display surface of the second display panel.

5. The display system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the light-transmitting layer has a light transmittance of higher than or equal to 80% on average at a wavelength longer than or equal to 450 nm and shorter than or equal to 700 nm, and

wherein the light-transmitting layer has a higher refractive index than air.

6. The display system according to claim 1 , further comprises a memory portion configured to supply the correction data to the arithmetic portion.

7. The display system according to claim 1 , further comprising a detection device configured to acquire luminance data of the first display panel and the second display panel.

8. An image processing device comprising:

an arithmetic portion configured to produce a second image signal by correcting a first image signal on the basis of a correction data, and supply the second image signal to a display device,

wherein the display device comprises:

a first display panel comprising a first region; and

a second display panel comprising a second region,

wherein the first region is configured to display an image,

wherein the second region is configured to transmit visible light,

wherein the first region comprises a first portion overlapping with the second region, and

wherein the second image signal is a signal in which gray scale corresponding to the first portion is corrected, or a signal in which gray scale corresponding to at least part of the first region excluding the first portion is corrected.

9. The image processing device according to claim 8 , further comprising a memory portion,

wherein the memory portion is configured to supply the correction data to the arithmetic portion.
