A luminance control method for an organic EL display comprises a first step of calculating a luminance accumulation value for each screen on the basis of a video input signal, and a second step of controlling the amplitude of the video input signal on the basis of the luminance accumulation value calculated in the first step and feeding to the organic EL display the video signal whose amplitude has been controlled.

A display device including a plurality of display units; a plurality of unit temperature sensors respectively connected to the plurality of display units and configured to respectively sense temperatures of the plurality of display units; and a control unit configured to set one of the sensed temperatures of the plurality of display units as a device representative temperature, and adjust a brightness of each of the plurality of display units in accordance with the device representative temperature.

A display device has a light guide plate formed with a display pattern by a plurality of diffusion dots having translucency in a display pattern formed region, a light shielding layer, and a light source. A plurality of the light guide plates are arranged facing each other, and the light shielding layer is sandwiched between the light guide plates. Light from the light source is selectively introduced to one of the light guide plates to display the display pattern of the light guide plate. The light shielding layer has a surface facing an observer's side formed by a low reflectivity material and a surface facing a side opposite to the observer's side formed by a high reflectivity material. A region facing the display pattern of the light guide plate positioned on the side opposite to the observer's side than the light shielding layer is cut out.

There is provided a display device including a display unit having pixels, each of which includes a luminescence element for individually emitting light depending on a current amount and a pixel circuit for controlling a current applied to the luminescence element according to a picture signal, scan lines which supply a selection signal for selecting the pixels to emit light to the pixels in a predetermined scanning cycle, and data lines which supply the picture signal to the pixels, the pixels, the scan lines, and the data lines arranged in a matrix pattern, the display device including: a luminescence amount detector for inputting a picture signal with a linear characteristic to detect a luminescence amount from the picture signal; a luminescence time calculator for calculating a luminescence time for the luminescence element based on the luminescence amount detected by the luminescence amount detector; a luminescence time recorder for recording the calculated luminescence time; a luminance acquirer for acquiring luminance information of the luminescence element by use of the luminescence time recorded in the luminescence time recorder; a coefficient calculator for calculating a coefficient by which the picture signal is multiplied, based on the luminance information acquired by the luminance acquirer; and a coefficient multiplier for multiplying the picture signal by the coefficient calculated by the coefficient calculator.

A privacy display comprises a spatial light modulator and a passive retarder arranged between first and second polarisers arranged in series with the spatial light modulator. On-axis light from the spatial light modulator is directed without loss, and off-axis light has reduced luminance. The visibility of the display to off-axis snoopers is reduced by means of luminance reduction over a wide polar field of view. Off-axis visibility of the display in an automotive vehicle can be reduced.

A liquid crystal display panel is provided with a light-shielding film, and a plurality of subpixels arranged in a matrix. The subpixels each include a first electrode formed on a first substrate, a second electrode formed to be located upper than the first electrode, and a color filter formed on a second substrate. The second electrode has a plurality of linear portions. The subpixels are disposed adjacently along the direction of display lines, and any two of the adjacent subpixels have the same color of color filter. The light-shielding film is formed on the second substrate not to cover the pixel boundary between the two adjacent subpixels but to cover pixel boundaries of the remaining subpixels. The second electrodes of the two adjacent subpixels are formed separately, and assuming that the two adjacent subpixels are first and second subpixels, at least the second electrode of the first subpixel is disposed also to an area of the second subpixel beyond the pixel boundary between the first and second subpixels. Such a configuration favorably increases an aperture ratio of a liquid crystal display device including a color filter.

The transmission liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel and a backlight, wherein the liquid crystal panel has pixels each of which is divided into four sub pixels as red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W) sub pixels. Further, an emission luminance of the backlight can be controlled.

Provided is a display device for carrying out seamless display so that a sense of strangeness is not given to a viewer or the sense of strangeness is reduced. In at least one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel on which a plurality of display elements are disposed in a matrix, the display panel having a frame area which is located at an end of the display panel and in which no display element is provided; a light guide element provided on the display panel, the light guide element changing a light path of part of light emitted from the plurality of display elements so that the part of light is guided to the frame area; a photosensor provided on the display panel, the photosensor detecting environment illuminance; an image signal correcting section which (i) corrects, in accordance with the environment illuminance detected by the photosensor, an image signal to be supplied to a display element included in an area where the light guide element is provided so that a reduction in luminance or coloring of display light of the image caused by the light guide element is reduced, and (ii) outputs a corrected image signal; and a driving section which drives the display element in accordance with the corrected image signal.
