Abstract
A display device (10) includes a display section (20) and a control section (30) that controls the display section, the display section having a unit area (5) including N light-emitting elements that emit light of a first color and the control section (30) controlling the unit area (5) such that, in a case where a display gradation level of the first color in the unit area (5) is to be a first low gradation level which is higher than zeroth gradation level and lower than a threshold gradation level, the N light-emitting elements include a light-emitting element that is lit and a light-emitting element that is unlit.
Claims21
A display device comprising a display section and a control section that controls the display section,
- the display section having a unit area including N light-emitting elements that emit light of a first color, where N is an integer of 2 or more, and
- the control section controlling the unit area such that, in a case where a display gradation level of the first color in the unit area is set to a first low gradation level that is higher than zeroth gradation level and lower than the threshold gradation level, the N light-emitting elements include a light-emitting element which is lit and a light-emitting element which is unlit,
- wherein the N light-emitting elements consist of one or more upper light-emitting elements and one or more lower light-emitting elements that overlap with the one or more upper light-emitting elements in plan view.
