A display device includes a light source, a light modulator, and a control apparatus, the light modulator includes a digital micromirror array including micromirrors and is arranged on a light path of light emitted by the light source and configured to modulate the light emitted by the light source based on a target image and luminance of the light source to obtain a grayscale image. The control apparatus is configured to control a driving current of the light source to adjust the luminance of the light source in different periods within a frame image, and to cause a driving current overdrive pulse of the light source during at least one of the periods, so that a display bit depth of the grayscale image increases from n to n+i and the periods correspond to bitplanes of the grayscale image in one-to-one correspondence, i≥1 and i is an integer.
