Abstract
In a first display pattern in which first input data corresponding to a first image is a first highest gray scale and second input data corresponding to a second image is a second lowest gray scale, a control unit sets the second lowest gray scale as display data of the second image, and in a second display pattern in which the first input data is a first lowest gray scale and the second input data is the second lowest gray scale, the control unit sets a gray scale larger than the second lowest gray scale as the display data of the second image.
Claims7
A display device comprising:
- a display unit configured to superimpose and display a first image visually recognized in a first viewing range and a second image visually recognized in a second viewing range;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the display unit,
- wherein in a first display pattern in which first input data corresponding to the first image is a first highest gray scale and second input data corresponding to the second image is a second lowest gray scale, the control unit sets the second lowest gray scale as display data of the second image,
- in a second display pattern in which the first input data is a first lowest gray scale and the second input data is the second lowest gray scale, the control unit sets a gray scale larger than the second lowest gray scale as the display data of the second image,
- the display unit includes:
- a pixel group including a plurality of pixels configured to display the first image and the second image and including a liquid crystal,
- a light source configured to irradiate the pixel group with light from a back face of the pixel group, and
- a plurality of separation members configured to separate the first image and the second image from each other, and
- a direction in which a light emission intensity of the light source is largest is a direction passing through a gap between two of adjacent ones of the plurality of separation members.
