Image processing circuit, image processing method, and display device

An image processing method in the event of processing an image based on image information of n images which are obtained by photographing the same scene under n (n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) exposure conditions and the n exposure conditions of that time, the method comprising:

• when a display video of one scene is constituted by a maximum of n sub frames, controlling light emission luminance of light emission elements per unit time for each sub frame according to the image information of the n images, controlling a light emission time of the light emission elements for each sub frame according to the n exposure conditions, and thereby generating video signals of the maximum of n sub frames.

A display device having an image processing circuit,

• wherein image information of n images which are obtained by photographing the same scene under n (n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) exposure conditions and the n exposure conditions of that time are received as input;
• wherein a sub frame signal generation unit configured to receive n pieces of image information of n images which are obtained by photographing the same scene under n (n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) exposure conditions and the n exposure conditions at the time of the photographing as input is included, and
• wherein, when a display video of one scene is constituted by a maximum of n sub frames, the sub frame signal generation unit generates video signals of the maximum of n sub frames by controlling a light emission time of light emission elements for each sub frame according to the n exposure conditions.
