Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an organic EL display apparatus including an organic EL panel having light emitting pixels each of which has an organic EL element (OEL) includes: lighting up lighting target pixels set from among the light emitting pixels; causing an imaging device to photograph the organic EL panel and receiving a photographed image from the imaging device; detecting the lighting target pixels using the photographed image; determining whether an undetectable pixel that cannot be detected is included among the lighting target pixels, using a result obtained in the detecting; increasing an amount of luminescence of the undetectable pixel to a detectable amount of luminescence, when it is determined that the undetectable pixel is included; and aligning a relative position of the organic EL display apparatus and the imaging device, using the result obtained in the detecting.
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 display device includes pixel units, a source driver and a control unit. The source driver applies voltage corresponding to gray level values to data signal lines. Each of the pixel units includes a light-emitting element, a capacitance element and a driving transistor. The light-emitting element emits light according to a driving current. The capacitance element accumulates charge corresponding to a voltage at a connected data signal line. The driving transistor supplies the driving current corresponding to the accumulated charge to the light-emitting element. The control unit decreases voltage(s) to be outputted from the source driver, when an appearance frequency of display pixels having a low gray-level value is lower than a first reference frequency, or when an appearance frequency of display pixels having a high gray-level value is lower than a second reference frequency.
Abstract:
A video signal processing method includes: dividing a current frame which is to be processed into a plurality of blocks which are predetermined rectangular blocks; calculating, for each of the plurality of blocks divided into in the dividing, a feature quantity relating to luminance of pixels in the block; calculating first correction data, based on a feature quantity calculated from each of first blocks located above a first horizontal boundary in the current frame and a feature quantity calculated from each of one or more blocks located below a first horizontal boundary in a previous frame which has been processed immediately before the current frame; and correcting luminance of pixels in each of the first blocks in the current frame, based on the first correction data calculated in the calculating.
