    Abstract: A control device is for use in a case where frame periods, each being a period in which one image continues to be displayed, vary in length within a given range or temporarily become stable in length on a frame-by-frame basis, and accurate lengths of the frame periods are not known beforehand. The control device changes a total number of subframe periods to reconfigure the frame period with n subframe periods, where n is an integer of two or more, regardless of the frame period input, and causes the display of the image. The control device includes a signal processor that outputs an output video signal according to a first input video signal on a subframe-period-by-subframe-period basis; and a controller that supplies the output video signal output from the signal processor and a control signal for controlling an operation of the display panel to the display panel.

    Abstract: A control method is a method of a display device including a plurality of pixel circuits. Each of the pixel circuits includes a light emitting element, a drive transistor, and a pixel capacitance. The drive transistor includes a gate and a source. A frame period includes a first subframe period and at least one second subframe period. In the first subframe period, the control method includes: (A) applying a first initialization potential to the source; (B) writing a signal into the pixel capacitance; and (C) causing the light emitting element to emit light. In each of the at least one second subframe period, the control method includes: (D) maintaining the light emitting element in a non-emission state; (E) applying a second initialization potential to the source in (D); and (F) causing the light emitting element to emit light.
