Self-luminous display device, control method of self-luminous display device, and computer program

A control method of a self-luminous display device, the control method comprising:

• acquiring a cumulative deterioration amount for each of a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix shape on a screen, each of the pixels including a light emitting element which emits light by itself in accordance with a current amount;
• calculating a deterioration amount when an image is displayed based on a supplied video signal by using a deterioration characteristic determined in accordance with a luminance of the video signal;
• and
• reflecting the deterioration amount calculated in the deterioration amount calculation step in the cumulative deterioration amount acquired in the deterioration amount acquisition step, and updating the reflected cumulative deterioration amount as a new cumulative deterioration amount.
