Video processing circuit, electro-optical device, electronic apparatus, and video processing method

An electro-optical device comprising:

• a display that includes a pixel group that are disposed in a first direction and a second direction;
• and
• a processor or circuit configured to:
• detect a set of a first pixel and a second pixel that is adjacent to the first pixel from the pixel group, the first and second pixels being a set of pixels in which a difference between application voltages to the first pixel and the second pixel is greater than or equal to a threshold;
• acquire information specifying a plurality of regions of voltage-brightness characteristics of the pixel group, the plurality of regions being divided from each other based on a slope of the voltage-brightness characteristics of a respective region, the plurality of regions of the voltage-brightness characteristics of the pixel group being separated into three or more regions;
• in response to the application voltage to the first pixel contained in a first voltage region being different from the application voltage to the second pixel contained in a second voltage region where the second voltage region is different from the first voltage region, replace the application voltage to the first pixel with a voltage that is in a voltage region other than the first voltage region and has voltage-brightness characteristics close to the second voltage region;
• and
• in response to a third voltage region being interposed between the first voltage region and the second voltage region, replace the application voltage to the first pixel and the application voltage to the second pixel with a voltage in the third voltage region.
