Abstract
This display device includes n number of liquid crystal displays, where n is an integer of 2 or more, light sources that can emit light of a plurality of different colors and that are provided to the respective liquid crystal displays, and a processor that causes the light sources to emit light of different colors so as to vary emission start timings for the respective light sources provided to the liquid crystal displays on the basis of input signals including color information regarding sub display images to be displayed on the respective liquid crystal displays.
Claims11
A display device comprising:
- n number of liquid crystal displays, where n is an integer equal to or greater than 2;
- n number of light sources, each of the light sources being provided for a respective one of the liquid crystal displays and being capable of emitting light of a plurality of different colors;
- and
- a processor that causes the light sources to emit light of different colors based on, for each of the liquid crystal displays, an input signal including color information on a sub display image to be displayed on a corresponding one of the liquid crystal displays such that light emission start timings of the light sources provided for the liquid crystal displays are different from each other,
- wherein, for each adjacent pair of the liquid crystal displays, the processor causes a color of the light emitted from one of the light sources to be different from a color of the light emitted from another of the light sources when the one light source and the another light source are both emitting light, and causes the color of the light emitted from the one of the light sources starting at an emission start time of the one of the light sources to always be different from the color of the light emitted from the another of the light sources starting at a next emission start time of the another of the light sources after the emission start time of the one of the light sources.
A display method comprising:
- acquiring, for each of n number of liquid crystal displays, an input signal including color information on a sub display image to be individually displayed on a corresponding one of the liquid crystal displays, where n is an integer equal to or greater than 2;
- and
- causing n number of light sources, each of the light sources being provided for a respective one of the liquid crystal displays and being capable of emitting light of a plurality of different colors, to emit light of different colors based on the color information such that light emission start timings of the light sources provided for the liquid crystal displays are different from each other,
- wherein the causing comprises, for each adjacent pair of the liquid crystal displays, causing a color of the light emitted from one of the light sources to be different from a color of the light emitted from another of the light sources when the one light source and the another light source are both emitting light, and causing the color of the light emitted from the one of the light sources starting at an emission start time of the one of the light sources to always be different from the color of the light emitted from the another of the light sources starting at a next emission start time of the another of the light sources after the emission start time of the one of the light sources.
