- each sub-pixel SPIX is driven only by the gradation data D2 generated by the second generation unit 32. Therefore, when there is no markedly bright small area, the following problems, that is, the sub-pixel SPIX driven by both generators 3 1 and 32, are mixed in the same screen, so that the color balance, tone curve, etc. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem that the display characteristics of the display deteriorate.
- the first small area is displayed. Since the area is a small area that is determined to be a distinctly bright small area, the user gazes at the first small area and does not gaze at the second small area. Therefore, the image displayed without letting the user visually recognize the above-described defect can be made to be more vivid and have a sense of reality, and the wrinkle can be felt as an image with a feeling of agility.
- the luminance of the pixel PIX can be improved, while the gradation of intermediate colors (including achromatic colors) can be improved.
- the characteristic and the gradation characteristic of the primary color are greatly different. As a result, an unnatural color balance may occur.
- the luminance of the RGB subpixel SPIX is often kept lower than that of the case where the W subpixel SPIXw is not provided. In other words, in this case, the RGB subpixel SPIX is driven in the low gradation region. Therefore, in this case, the color resolution may be reduced. As a result, the overall image quality may be reduced.
- the frequency of erroneously determining the small area as the first small area increases even though the small area should not be displayed to be noticeably bright.
- the area of the entire first small region connected to each other is small, for example, when the first small region is surrounded by the second small region, the user adjoins the first small region and the adjacent one. There is a risk that the second small area cannot be clearly identified. In this case, the first small area stands out brightly and is not recognized as a small area. And tone curves) are recognized as deviating from their original characteristics, and image quality deteriorates.
- each pixel PIX of the pixel array 2 is composed of sub-pixels SPIX of a plurality of colors
- the pixel array 2 is viewed by human vision. Determines the color tone of not only one pixel PIX but also the adjacent pixel PIX.
- the designer of the pixel array 2 includes which pixel among the pixels adjacent to the pixel to recognize the color tone, or each pixel. It is not possible to force the user to decide which subpixel combination is one pixel among the subpixels included in.
- each pixel in the small area may be erroneously recognized as a pixel different from the intended color balance. Therefore, in order to eliminate the influence of surrounding pixels and recognize each pixel in the small area as a collection of pixels with the color balance intended for the entire small area, and correctly convey the original video intention,
- the size of the small area must be 2 * 2 pixels or more, and preferably 4 * 4 pixels or more.
- the size of the small region is set to 1Z64 or less of the entire area of the display screen of the pixel array 2.

- the gradation data W2 (i, j, k) to the element SPIXw (iJ) is set to a value indicating the luminance of the pixel PIX (i, j), but is not limited to this.
- the ⁇ characteristic S31 of the gradation data D2 generated by the first generation unit 31 has a larger ⁇ value than the ⁇ characteristic S32 of the gradation data D2 generated by the second generation unit 32. It may be set.
- the second generation unit 32 performs gradation data R2 (i, j, k), R, G, and B subpixels SPIX, similar to the configuration described above, G2 (i, j, k) and B2 (i, j, k) are converted into gradation data (gradation data Rl (i, j, k) of the same color in the color data Dl (i, j, k).
- the ⁇ characteristic of the gradation data D2 (i, j, k) generated by the generating unit 32 is the same.
- the area of the W sub-pixel SPIXw (iJ) is other R as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG.
- G and B sub-pixels SPIXw (i, j) have the same area as pixel PIX (i, j) compared to a configuration in which pixel PIX (i, j) is formed only by RGB sub-pixels SPIX ( The maximum luminance of i, j) is about 75% and the force is not reached.
- the ⁇ characteristic of the gradation data D2 (i, j, k) generated by the first generation unit 31 is set to be larger than that of the second generation unit 32, and the maximum luminance is sub- RGB. It is set to reach 150% of the maximum luminance when it is formed by only the pixel SPIX ( ⁇ characteristic SOO).

- the threshold is set too high, for example, when displaying an image that contains a slightly bright small area in an image close to monotone, the small area is determined as the first small area. And the peak luminance of the small area cannot be improved.
- the threshold value is set too low, a video with a relatively large image power variation, such as a general video (television broadcast, movie, etc.), is displayed on the display screen. It is always determined that there are many first small areas. In this case, the display characteristics such as the color balance and the tone curve may deviate from the desired characteristics because the effect of processing for a small area that is markedly bright is greatly reflected in the normal display characteristics.
- the determination unit 43a makes a determination with reference to the standard deviation, and the determination unit 43a defines the small region including each pixel PIX as the first small region.

Therefore, when the following image, that is, an image close to monotone, includes a small area that is slightly bright and has an extremely bright small area, the average luminance is displayed. A small area that is slightly brighter than Lave can be determined as the first small area, and the small area can be displayed brightly.
- the determination unit 43a also refers to the absolute value of the luminance of the pixel PIX (i, j) not only by referring to the standard deviation, and the absolute value of the luminance of the pixel PIX (U) is determined. If it is smaller than a certain level, the pixel PIX (i, j) is not determined to be a high luminance pixel. Therefore, as a result of determining the following defect, that is, an inappropriate pixel PIXGJ due to statistical errors) as a high-luminance pixel, a small area that cannot be markedly bright is erroneously determined as the first small area. Can prevent malfunctions.
- the creator of the video sets the luminance of the observation target to be watched by the user as a small area having the peak luminance to a luminance lower than 20% of the white luminance. Is hard to think. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a value indicating about 20% of the white luminance is adopted as the threshold value j8.
- half of the maximum gradation (white) (128 gradations for 256 gradations) Is set. As a result, the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems can be prevented almost certainly in general video.

- the small block is a high-intensity block power for a small block including a plurality of pixels PIX, and the small block is occupied. Whether or not the small area is the first small area force is determined by the ratio of the high luminance block.

- the determination unit 43b according to the present embodiment includes the average luminance of each small block calculated by the luminance calculation unit 4 lb and the average luminance L ave calculated by the average luminance calculation unit 42. Based on the above, instead of determining whether each pixel PIX is a high-intensity pixel power or not, it is determined whether each small block is a high-intensity block. It is determined whether it is the first small area.
- the determination unit 43b has L> L when the luminance of the small block calculated by the luminance calculation unit 41 is L, the standard deviation of the luminance of the display screen is ⁇ , and a predetermined constant is satisfied. Pixels that satisfy ave + ⁇ X ⁇ and L exceeds a predetermined luminance ⁇ are defined as high luminance blocks. Further, the determination unit 43b determines whether or not the small area is the first small area based on whether or not the ratio of the high-luminance block in the small area is greater than or equal to a predetermined ratio.
- the control unit 33b determines whether or not the high luminance power is present for each small block composed of a plurality of pixels PIX, not for each pixel PIX. Therefore, the amount of data and computation required for statistical analysis processing can be reduced, and the circuit scale can be reduced.
- the statistical analysis processing (in-plane average luminance calculation processing and standard deviation calculation processing) in the second embodiment is identical to the statistical analysis processing (in-plane average luminance calculation processing in the first embodiment). Compared to the case of the first embodiment, the application of the second embodiment can significantly reduce the amount of data and the calculation amount, and the greater effect can be obtained. can get.
- the determination unit 43b may erroneously determine the distinctly bright small area as the second small area, which may cause a problem that the image quality deteriorates.

Desirable to set to dimensions.
- the unit of 8 X 8 pixels is used for, for example, interlayer determination as a unit block in a video compression technique standardized by MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) or JP EG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Even if the small block size is set to this size, the above-mentioned problems do not occur.

As a result, the following phenomenon can be prevented, that is, the first section is not considered to be an extremely bright area, but the second section is determined to be a minor area with a reduced brightness. This allows the viewer to judge the section as a bright area.
- the signal processing unit is configured to use the region (4) as a comparison target region, the amount of calculation is relatively small because the area of the region to be referred to (the region to be calculated) is limited. And can be mounted relatively easily.
- the configuration can be particularly suitably used in the case of a monitor that is relatively easy to watch the entire screen as compared with a television.
- the signal processing unit fixes the setting method (1) to (4) above and the parameter (size of the comparison target area) at that time.
- the conditions are: “the power that the image display device is a TV, the power of a computer monitor device”, “the size of the display screen (the power that occupies as many times as vision)”, “the white brightness of the display of the image display device
- the signal processing unit determines whether to set by any of the setting methods (1) to (4) above, or the parameters at that time (the size of the region to be compared). May be changed.
- the same effect can be obtained if the region to be compared approximately represents the brightness of the entire display region. More specifically, when the determination unit determines whether each small area is the first small area, as described above, the brightness of each small area is relatively determined with reference to the brightness of the entire display screen. Instead of evaluating, it may be determined as follows. In other words, the determination unit divides the display area into a plurality of small areas and determines whether each small area is the first small area. Define the comparison area that is sufficiently wider than the small area and refer to the brightness of the comparison area. Then, it may be determined whether the small area is the first small area force or not.
- the signal processing unit including the determination unit includes a plurality of display areas in the same manner as each signal processing unit (21 ⁇ ) described above. It is possible to control gradation luminance characteristics of each small area.
- a portion including at least one of the small areas is defined as a first section, and a portion of the display area wider than the first section is defined as a second section.
- the brightness of the first section is displayed when white is displayed in the section and a video signal for displaying a preset gradation for the second section is provided in the second section.
- the signal processing unit has a gradation lower than a predetermined gradation (for example, for example, when the gradation for the second section indicates white) (for example, The gradation luminance characteristics of each small region can be controlled so that the white gradation luminance in the first section becomes larger when the black gradation is shown.
- each of the signal processing units divides the display area into a plurality of small areas and converts ⁇ (tone luminance characteristic) for each small area based on the video signal.
- the display area is relatively small, including one or more small areas!
- a second area that is relatively large compared to the first area is set, and each area is displayed independently.
- the display device is driven by a method in which the brightness corresponding to the white gradation of the small area existing in the first section changes brightly depending on the display brightness in the second section.
- the small area does not include the remaining area of the image and an extremely bright small area. Compared to each small area of the image, it can be displayed more conspicuously and brightly, and the image can be displayed with a high contrast ratio. Therefore, it is possible to display an image that is more vivid, has a sense of reality, and has an appealing feeling on the display screen of the display device.
- the signal processing unit may activate control to increase the white gradation luminance in the first section at least when the gradation for the second section indicates black display.
- the pixel in the small area is driven by the video data generated by the first generation unit 31.
- the white luminance in the first section is a certain level compared to the luminance in the second section.
- the white brightness of the first section can be made brighter, and this section can be displayed more clearly.
- the first and second generation units (31 and 32) generate grayscale data D2 ( Whether to output i, j, k) as gradation data D2 (i, j, k) for pixel PIX (U) included in each small area is switched. Therefore, when displaying the area other than the first small area, the second generation unit 32 can control the gradation luminance characteristic of the area so that the ⁇ characteristic of the first ⁇ value is set in advance.
- the first generation unit 31 can control the gradation luminance characteristic of the first small region so that the ⁇ characteristic of the second ⁇ value predetermined as a value not smaller than the first ⁇ value is obtained. .
- each of the signal processing units has a ⁇ characteristic of a predetermined first ⁇ value. So as to control the gradation luminance characteristics of the first and second sections, and when the gradation for the second section shows a gradation lower than the predetermined gradation, The gradation luminance characteristic of the first section is controlled so that the ⁇ characteristic of the second ⁇ value determined in advance as a value not smaller than the first ⁇ value is obtained.
- the change rate of the luminance when the gradation changes with respect to the gradation showing the luminance of a certain level or more not just by making the first small area (first section) brighter as a whole.
- the first section bright areas are brighter and dark areas are emphasized darker. Therefore, it is possible to add merino and re-direction between pixels in the first section. As a result, the video in the first small area can be more emphasized and a clearer video can be expressed.
- each of the signal processing units is configured so that bright pixels are constant even if all the pixels existing in the first section (first small region) are not set to have a luminance higher than a certain level. If the ratio is greater than or equal to the ratio, the section is recognized as a bright place, and the image in the section (small area) is recognized.
- the element is driven by the video data generated by the first generator. Therefore, it is possible to drive the pixels in the section (small area) so as to have ⁇ characteristics having the same ⁇ value. There is a problem when pixels driven with ⁇ characteristics with different y values exist in the section (small area), that is, display characteristics such as color balance and tone curve deteriorate. Can be suppressed.
