Abstract

A low-resolution image is displayed at higher resolution and afterimages are reduced. Resolution is made higher by super-resolution processing. In this case, the super-resolution processing is performed after frame interpolation processing is performed. Further, in that case, the super-resolution processing is performed using a plurality of processing systems. Therefore, even when frame frequency is made higher, the super-resolution processing can be performed at high speed. Further, since frame rate doubling is performed by the frame interpolation processing, afterimages can be reduced.

Claims (37)

1. A method for driving a display device, comprising:

performing a super-resolution processing in a first part of a screen; and

performing a frame interpolation processing in a second part of the screen,

wherein the first part of the screen does not overlap with the second part of the screen,

wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are performed on an original image data; and

wherein the super-resolution processing is performed on a frame interpolated image data.

2. The method for driving a display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the screen further comprises a third part, and

wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are not performed in the third part of the screen.

3. The method for driving a display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

performing a local dimming processing; and

determining luminance of a backlight in the local dimming processing,

wherein the super-resolution processing and determining luminance of the backlight are performed concurrently.

4. The method for driving a display device according to claim 3 , wherein determining luminance of the backlight is performed using image data on which the super-resolution processing is not performed.

5. The method for driving a display device according to claim 3 , further comprising a step of determining a video signal to be supplied to each pixel of the display device in the local dimming processing,

wherein determining the video signal is performed after performing the super-resolution processing.

6. The method for driving a display device according to claim 1 , wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are performed by using a multi-core CPU including a plurality of CPU cores.

7. The method for driving a display device according to claim 1 , wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are performed concurrently.

8. A method for driving a display device, comprising:

performing a super-resolution processing in a first part of a screen;

performing edge enhancement processing after performing the super-resolution processing; and

performing a frame interpolation processing in a second part of the screen,

wherein the first part of the screen does not overlap with the second part of the screen,

wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are performed on an original image data; and

wherein the super-resolution processing is performed on a frame interpolated image data.

9. The method for driving a display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the screen further comprises a third part, and

wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are not performed in the third part of the screen.

10. The method for driving a display device according to claim 8 , further comprising:

performing a local dimming processing; and

determining luminance of a backlight in the local dimming processing,

wherein the super-resolution processing and determining luminance of the backlight are performed concurrently.

11. The method for driving a display device according to claim 10 , wherein determining luminance of the backlight is performed using image data on which the super-resolution processing is not performed.

12. The method for driving a display device according to claim 10 , further comprising a step of determining a video signal to be supplied to each pixel of the display device in the local dimming processing,

wherein determining the video signal is performed after performing the super-resolution processing.

13. The method for driving a display device according to claim 8 , wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are performed by using a multi-core CPU including a plurality of CPU cores.

14. The method for driving a display device according to claim 8 , wherein the super-resolution processing and the frame interpolation processing are performed concurrently.
