Abstract
Provided is a display apparatus, in which a deterioration of a display device in an icon display region is reduced to lower the occurrence of burn-in. The display apparatus includes multiple pixels each including sub-pixels of red, green, blue and white, which are arranged in matrix and a color operation circuit for converting an image signal into a driving signal for the sub-pixels, in which each of the sub pixels includes an electroluminescence device and the color operation circuit adjusts a luminance ratio between the sub-pixels of red, green and blue and the sub-pixel of white based on a display region.
Claims8
A display apparatus comprising:
- multiple pixels each including sub-pixels of red, green, blue and white;
- and
- a color operation circuit for converting an image signal inputted from the outside of the display apparatus into the inside of the display apparatus into a driving signal for the sub-pixels,
- wherein each of the sub pixels includes an electroluminescence device,
- wherein the color operation circuit adjusts a luminance ratio between the sub-pixels of red, green and blue and the sub pixel of white based on a display region determination signal, which represents display position information of an icon display region, is inputted from the outside of the display apparatus, and is synchronized with the image signal, and
- wherein during performing gray scale display other than black, the color operation circuit makes a larger than zero luminance ratio of each of red, green, and blue when the display region determination signal represents the icon display region, and the color operation circuit makes a zero luminance ratio of each of red, green, and blue when the display region determination signal represents a natural image display region.
A display apparatus comprising:
- multiple pixels each including sub-pixels of red, green, blue and white, each sub-pixel including an electroluminescence device;
- a color operation circuit for inputting, from outside the display apparatus, both (a) an image signal and (b) a display region determination signal identifying display position information of an icon display region, and for generating a driving signal for the sub-pixels in accordance with the image signal and the display region determination signal;
- and
- a display that displays an image in accordance with the driving signal,
- wherein the color operation circuit adjusts a luminance ratio between the sub-pixels of red, green, and blue, and the sub-pixel of white based on the display region determination signal,
- wherein the display region determination signal is separate from and synchronized with the image signal, and
- wherein the color operation circuit, for a gray scale pixel in the icon display region, lights all of the red, green, blue, and white sub-pixels and sets the display level of each of the sub-pixels to one-half.
