Abstract

A display control device includes: a display processing part displaying an image in a display unit; and a movement processing part changing a display position of the image according to a display time of the image within a movement range having a reference display position of the image in the display unit as a center, wherein the movement processing part changes the display position within the movement range such that an accumulated display time of the image is reduced from the center to a periphery of the movement range.

Claims (56)

1. A display control device, comprising:

a display processing circuitry displaying an image in a display unit; and

a movement processing circuitry changing a display position of the image according to a display time of the image within a movement range having a reference display position of the image in the display unit as a center,

wherein the movement processing circuitry changes the display position within the movement range such that an accumulated display time of the image is reduced from the center to a periphery of the movement range, and

wherein the movement processing circuitry probabilistically determines a shift position where the image moves.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the movement processing circuitry moves the image based on the display position before movement of the image.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the movement processing circuitry moves the image independently on the display position before movement of the image.

4. The device of claim 1 , where the display unit includes a pixel disposed along an X direction and a Y direction, the X direction being transverse to the Y direction,

wherein the movement processing circuitry changes the display position within the movement range such that the image moves to a shift position (x, y) by x pixels along the X direction and y pixels along the Y direction from the reference display position and the shift position (x, y) satisfies −m≤x≤m and −n≤y≤n, wherein each of m and n is a positive integer, and

wherein the movement processing circuitry changes the display position such that a maximum value of the accumulated display time at the shift position where a shift distance D defined by an Equation 1 is equal to or greater than 0.75 is smaller than a minimum value of the accumulated display time at the shift position where the shift distance D is equal to or smaller than 0.25

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the movement processing circuitry determines the shift position where the image moves according to a relation equation including a random number.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the relation equation includes a sign function.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the relation equation includes a round function.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the movement processing circuitry changes the display position with a period.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the movement processing circuitry changes the display position with the period equal to or longer than about 1 hour.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the movement processing circuitry changes the display position such that the accumulated display time is reduced from the center to the periphery of the movement range at a timing where a total display time of the image in the display unit is equal to or longer than about 10000 hours.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the display unit includes an organic light emitting display device.

12. A display device, comprising:

a display control device, comprising:

a display processing circuitry displaying an image in a display unit; and

a movement processing circuitry changing a display position of the image according to a display time of the image within a movement range having a reference display position of the image in the display unit as a center,

wherein the movement processing circuitry changes the display position within the movement range such that an accumulated display time of the image is reduced from the center to a periphery of the movement range, and

wherein the movement processing circuitry probabilistically determines a shift position where the image moves; and

the display unit operatively coupled to the display control device.

13. A method of controlling a display device, comprising:

displaying an image in a display part; and

changing a display position of the image based on a display time of the image within a movement range having a reference display position of the image in the display unit as a center,

wherein changing the display position is performed such that an accumulated display time of the image is reduced from the center to a periphery of the movement range, and

wherein a shift position where the image moves is probabilistically determined.
