Abstract:
1. A self-luminescent display device whose power consumption is dependent on a gradation level of a displayed image, the self-luminescent display device comprising: an edge processing unit, which outputs a corrected display image, the corrected display image being generated by adding an edge component to a display data signal; and a display unit which displays an image depending on the corrected display image, wherein the edge component includes at least one of a minus direction component and a plus direction component, wherein respective magnitudes of the minus direction component and the plus direction component are variably set based on specific conditions, and wherein the specific conditions are based on the display data signal such that the magnitude of the minus direction component is greater when a gradation level of the display data signal is high than the magnitude of the minus direction component when a gradation level of the display data signal is low.
