Patent ID: 10504456

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a display control apparatus that enables a rise in surface temperature of a display apparatus to be suppressed by lowering a gain value of a high-luminance area, and a display control method.A display control apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a high-luminance area detection unit that sets a measurement area on a screen of the video signal, calculates an APL value of the set measurement area, and detects a high-luminance area on the basis of a result of a comparison between the calculated APL value and a threshold value; a control unit that causes a LUT, in which an APL value of each pixel is an input and a gain value is an output, to be generated on the basis of the APL value of the detected high-luminance area; an APL value calculation unit that calculates the APL value of each pixel on the basis of pixel values of the video signal; a LUT unit that generates the LUT under control of the control unit and references the generated LUT to output the gain value corresponding to the calculated APL value of each pixel; and a multiplication unit that multiplies the pixel values of the video signal by the output gain value. The present disclosure is applicable to a video monitor.
