Abstract:
A display device for displaying display data, comprising:a display panel; a driving circuit which generates a gray-scale voltage corresponding to the display data and outputs the gray-scale voltage to the display panel, the driving circuit being capable of changing a brightness curve representing a relationship between a gray-scale of the display data and a display brightness of the display panel between a convex brightness curve and a concave brightness curve, the convex brightness curve being convex with respect to a line representing a linear relationship between the gray-scale of the display data and the display brightness of the display panel, the concave brightness curve being concave with respect to the line representing the linear relationship between the gray-scale of the display data and the display brightness of the display panel; a scan driver which scans a line on the display panel to which the gray-scale voltage is output; and a control circuit which outputs the display data to the driving circuit and outputs a display control signal to the scan driver.
