Claim Text:
1. A display device comprising: a display panel that performs image display with multiple pixels arranged in matrix, each of said multiple pixels including at least one color component subpixel; a pixel-peripheral-region brightness controller that controls, for each said color component subpixel, the brightness of pixel peripheral regions being peripheral of each color subcomponent subpixel of said multiple pixels, independently of a pixel main region other than said pixel peripheral regions; and a parallax barrier panel located in front of or behind said display panel and configured to be switched between a completely light transmitting state set for a first format image and a partially light shielded state set for a second format image in which transmission regions and light-shielding regions are formed alternately along a horizontal direction, wherein said multiple pixels in said display panel include type 1 pixels and type 2 pixels alternately arranged in said horizontal direction, said type 1 pixels and said type 2 pixels functioning differently from one another for display of said second format image, said pixel peripheral regions include at least both end regions in said horizontal direction of each of said multiple pixels, and said pixel-peripheral-region brightness controller performs, for each color component subpixel of said multiple pixels, a brightness setting process of forcibly setting said pixel peripheral regions to a black display state during said partially light shielded state of said parallax barrier panel and setting the brightness of said pixel peripheral regions to the same brightness as said pixel main region during said completely light transmitting state of said parallax barrier panel.
