Micro light-emitting diode display device and display device

1. A micro light-emitting diode (LED) display device, comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of pixel areas each having a thin film transistor; and

a first micro light-emitting diode and a second micro light-emitting diode in each pixel area,

wherein the first micro light-emitting diode is configured to emit light to display an image; and

the second micro light-emitting diode is configured to emit light to improve a displayed brightness for a specific area of the image, and

wherein the micro light-emitting diode display device is configured to:

receive an input image for display by the display panel;

analyze the input image to determine whether the input image is a high dynamic range (HDR) image or a standard dynamic range (SDR) image; and

if the input image is analyzed to be an HDR image:

compress the dynamic range of the HDR image to a dynamic range that is displayable by the micro light-emitting display device,

gamut map the HDR image such that colors of the HDR image outside of a color gamut of the display panel are disposed inside the color gamut of the display panel, and

drive the first micro light-emitting diodes and the second micro light-emitting diodes simultaneously in a dynamic range extended area corresponding to an area of the HDR image having colors that cannot be disposed inside the color gamut of the display panel.

2. The micro light-emitting diode display device of claim 1 , wherein the micro light-emitting diode has a size of 10-100 μm.

3. The micro light-emitting diode display device of claim 1 , wherein the first micro light-emitting diode and the second micro light-emitting diode are driven together to display an extended area of a dynamic range of the image corresponding to the specific area of the image.

4. The micro light-emitting diode display device of claim 3 , wherein the extended area of the dynamic range is configured to be displayed at a brightness of 1-2 times a maximum brightness displayed for other areas of the image.

5. The micro light-emitting diode display device of claim 1 , further comprising a memory that stores information about a defective pixel.

6. The micro light-emitting diode display device of claim 1 , wherein the second micro light-emitting diode is driven based on the first micro light-emitting diode being defective.

7. A display device, comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of pixel areas,

wherein each pixel area includes a first light-emitting diode and a second light-emitting diode, and

wherein the display device is configured to drive the second light-emitting diode to emit light based on the first light-emitting diode being defective, and

wherein the display device is configured to:

receive an input image for display by the display panel;

analyze the input image to determine whether the input image is a high dynamic range (HDR) image or a standard dynamic range (SDR) image; and

if the input image is analyzed to be an HDR image:

compress the dynamic range of the HDR image to a dynamic range that is displayable by the display device,

gamut map the HDR image such that colors of the HDR image outside of a color gamut of the display panel are disposed inside the color gamut of the display panel, and

drive the first light-emitting diodes and the second light-emitting diodes simultaneously in a dynamic range extended area corresponding to an area of the HDR image having colors that cannot be disposed inside the color gamut of the display panel.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the display device is configured to:

receive the input image for display by the display panel, and analyze the input image to determine whether the input image includes an area of brightness that is not displayable by only the first light-emitting diodes of the display panel; and

drive the first light-emitting diodes and the second light-emitting diodes simultaneously in a dynamic range extended area corresponding to the area of brightness.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the display device is configured to drive only the first light-emitting diodes in an area other than the dynamic range extended area.

10. The display device of claim 7 , wherein:

the first light-emitting diode is composed of red, green, and blue micro light-emitting diodes; and

the second light-emitting diode is composed of red, green, and blue micro light-emitting diodes.

11. The display device of claim 7 , wherein:

based on the first light-emitting diode being determined to be defective, the display device is configured to drive only the second light-emitting diode in the corresponding pixel area.

12. The display device of claim 8 , wherein:

the display device is configured to drive only the first light-emitting diodes among the first and second light-emitting diodes in an area of the display panel based on the first light-emitting diodes being determined not defective and on the area being determined not to include a dynamic range extended area.
