Abstract
According to an aspect, a display device includes: a display panel having a display area provided with pixels; a dimming panel disposed so as to face the display panel and having a dimming area provided with dimming pixels; and a light source configured to emit light that travels from the dimming panel toward the display panel. When a pixel among the pixels is controlled to be lit up in white, blurring processing is applied so as to cause more than one of the dimming pixels including a dimming pixel overlapping the pixel to transmit light, and light from the light source is transmitted through the blurring area and the pixel. The blurring area is determined based on a positional misalignment with respect to a predetermined positional relation between the display area and the dimming area.
Claims9
A display device comprising:
- a display panel that has a display area in which a plurality of pixels are arranged;
- a dimming panel that is disposed on one surface side of the display panel so as to face the display panel and has a dimming area in which a plurality of dimming pixels are arranged;
- and
- a light source configured to emit light that travels from the dimming panel toward the display panel, wherein
- when a pixel among the plurality of pixels is controlled to be lit up in white in accordance with a received image signal, blurring processing is applied so as to cause more than one of the plurality of dimming pixels including a dimming pixel overlapping the pixel to transmit light;
- a blurring area serving as an area including the more than one of the plurality of dimming pixels to which the blurring processing is applied is formed;
- and light from the light source is transmitted through the blurring area and the pixel to the other surface side of the display panel, and
- the blurring area is determined based on a positional misalignment with respect to a predetermined positional relation between the display area and the dimming area.
