- a display device having a backlight such as a liquid crystal display device
- power consumption of the backlight can be reduced by controlling the luminance of the backlight according to an input image.
- gradation conversion that compensates for the decrease in backlight brightness is performed on the input image, so that backlight consumption can be achieved while displaying the same image as when brightness control is not performed. Electric power can be reduced.
- a histogram of the input image is created, and gradations at predetermined positions (for example, 90% position) are determined from the smaller side of the gradations of each pixel included in the input image.
- gradations at predetermined positions for example, 90% position
- Patent Document 1 discloses a means for detecting a maximum value of one screen of an image signal, a light transmission type display means in which the light transmittance is constant at the detected maximum value, and light proportional to the detected maximum value.

Further, by limiting the luminance reduction rate of the maximum gradation CVmax when the luminance control of the backlight 30 is performed, it is possible to display the maximum gradation CVmax or a gradation close to the maximum gradation CVmax without significantly decreasing. it can. Further, by applying a constant gain to gradations smaller than the boundary gradation CVth, and applying a monotonically decreasing gain to gradations larger than the boundary gradation CVth, gradation collapse is suppressed and gradation deviation is suppressed. Can be suppressed. Thus, the power consumption of the backlight can be reduced while suppressing the image quality deterioration.
- the gradation conversion unit 23 performs gradation conversion in which the characteristic is a spline curve for a gradation larger than the boundary gradation CVth. For this reason, the gradation conversion characteristics in the portion larger than the boundary gradation CVth change continuously and smoothly. In addition, since this spline curve is in contact with the gradation conversion characteristic of the boundary gradation CVth that is smaller than the boundary gradation CVth, the gradation conversion characteristic changes continuously and smoothly before and after the boundary gradation CVth. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the output gradation and display luminance of the gradation conversion unit 23 from becoming discontinuous and to suppress image quality deterioration.
- the image analysis unit 22 stores in advance in the conversion table linear gain shift coefficients LGs determined so that the luminance reduction rate of the maximum gradation CVmax is equal to or less than the limit value.
- the linear gain shift coefficient LGs in which the luminance reduction rate of the maximum data gradation CVmax is equal to or less than the limit value can be easily obtained.
- the image analysis unit 22 performs luminance control and gradation conversion on the display luminance when the luminance control of the backlight 30 and the gradation conversion by the gradation conversion unit 23 are performed for the gradation smaller than the boundary gradation CVth.
- the luminance of the backlight 30 is determined so as to coincide with the display luminance at the time of absence.
- gradations smaller than the boundary gradation CVth can be displayed with the same luminance as when luminance control and gradation conversion are not performed, and an image similar to that when luminance control and gradation conversion are not performed can be displayed.
- the power consumption of the backlight 30 can be more effectively reduced.
- the image analysis unit 22 determines a gradation at a predetermined ratio from the smaller side among the gradations of each pixel included in the input image as the boundary gradation CVth. As a result, it is possible to display a predetermined ratio of pixels included in the input image by performing gradation conversion using a certain gain. Further, if the luminance of the backlight 30 is suitably controlled, a predetermined percentage of pixels included in the input image can be displayed with the same luminance as when luminance control and gradation conversion are not performed.
- the image analysis unit 22 may determine, as the boundary gray level CVth, a gray level located at a predetermined ratio from the larger side among the gray levels of each pixel included in the input image.
- the image analysis unit 22 may determine the boundary gradation CVth based on the maximum gradation CVmax.
- the process of obtaining the output gradation corresponding to the input gradation based on the maximum gradation CVmax, the boundary gradation CVth, and the linear gain shift coefficient LGs is not the image analysis unit 22, but the gradation conversion. Part 23 may do.
- a display device other than the liquid crystal display device can be configured by the above method. Also with the display devices (including the liquid crystal display device) according to these modified examples, it is possible to reduce the power consumption of the backlight while suppressing image quality deterioration.
- the display device of the present invention has an effect of reducing the power consumption of the backlight while suppressing the deterioration of the image quality, it can be used for various display devices including a liquid crystal display device and a backlight.
