Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: self-luminous type display means for displaying a series of images using a plurality of pixels; electrical current value predicting means for predicting an electrical current value required by the display means that displays a next image using a mean pixel value of the plurality of pixels for the next image; and control means for controlling a luminance of the display means based on the predicted electrical current value by controlling a duty factor, the duty factor controlling a length of time throughout which the display means emits light to display an image, including reducing the duty factor for the next image when the predicted electrical current value is above an upper threshold, and increasing the duty factor for the next image by a predetermined amount when the predicted electrical current value is below a lower threshold, the control means maintaining the duty factor from a current image for the next image when the predicted electrical current value is between the lower and upper thresholds, and the control means increasing the duty factor for images subsequent to the next image by the same predetermined amount when predicted electrical current values for the subsequent images, respectively, are below the lower threshold.
