Abstract
Provided is a display device including a display portion and a control unit configured to control the display portion. The display portion a subpixel including a first light-emitting region and a second light-emitting region. When a gray scale greater than zero gray scale and less than a threshold gray scale is input to the subpixel, the control unit causes the first light-emitting region to emit light without causing the second light-emitting region to emit light. When a gray scale equal to or greater than the threshold gray scale is input to the subpixel, the control unit causes the first light-emitting region and the second light-emitting region to emit light.
Claims14
A display device comprising:
- a display portion including a subpixel including a first light-emitting region and a second light-emitting region;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the display portion to cause the second light-emitting region to not emit light and to cause the first light-emitting region to emit light in a case where a gray scale greater than a zero gray scale and less than a threshold gray scale is input to the subpixel and to cause the first light-emitting region and the second light-emitting region to emit light in a case where a gray scale equal to or greater than the threshold gray scale is input to the subpixel,
- wherein the first light-emitting region and the second light-emitting region are stacked on one another, and the second light-emitting region is located more to a viewing side than the first light-emitting region.
