- 各々が発光素子及び前記発光素子を駆動する駆動トランジスタを有する複数の画素部からなるアクティブマトリクス型の表示パネルと、前記表示パネルの各走査線を順次走査する走査駆動部と、前記走査駆動部による走査に応じて映像信号に基づくデータ信号を前記駆動トランジスタの制御電極に供給するデータ駆動部と、を有する表示装置であって、
前記複数の画素部の各々に設けられ、第1の端子が前記駆動トランジスタの前記制御電極に接続されるとともに前記データ信号を保持するキャパシタと、
前記キャパシタの第2の端子に印加するキャパシタ電圧を生成するキャパシタ電圧生成部と、
前記映像信号に基づいて表示画面の平均輝度を算出する平均輝度算出器と、
前記平均輝度に応じて前記駆動トランジスタの駆動電圧を調整する駆動電圧調整器と、を有することを特徴とする表示装置。 - 前記駆動電圧調整器は、前記平均輝度の低減に応じて前記表示画面の白色輝度が増加するように前記駆動電圧を調整することを特徴とする請求項1に記載の表示装置。
- 前記表示パネルは、マトリクス状に配置された走査線及びドライブ線の交差位置の各々に赤、緑及び青色のうちいずれか1種類の発光素子が前記走査線及びドライブ線間に接続されたカラー発光パネルであり、前記駆動電圧調整器は前記発光素子の駆動電圧を発光色ごとに調整することを特徴とする請求項1又は2に記載の表示装置。
- 前記データ駆動部は前記データ信号に応じた電流を前記キャパシタに供給する電流源からなることを特徴とする請求項1ないし3のいずれか1項に記載の表示装置。
- 前記平均輝度の低減に応じて前記映像信号における黒レベルを増加して前記データ信号を生成する黒レベル調整器を有することを特徴とする請求項1に記載の表示装置。
