Patent ID: 8164554

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a liquid crystal panel; a frame memory that stores, frame by frame, data displayed in the liquid crystal panel; and a controller that controls display in the liquid crystal panel on the basis of input frame data, the controller including a data converter that divides the input frame data into first subframe data and latter subframe data, and selects data for the latter subframe data from four pieces of data including maximum output brightness data, minimum output brightness data, and arbitrary first and second brightness data that are respectively close to the maximum output brightness data and the minimum output brightness data such that an average of integrated values of output brightness of the first subframe data and output brightness of the latter subframe data is equal to a target brightness of the input data, and a data serial-parallel converter that serial-parallel converts the latter subframe data, wherein the latter subframe data is stored in the frame memory, and the first subframe data controls the display in the liquid crystal panel together with the latter subframe data that is stored in the frame memory for one horizontal line that precedes a currently-processed one horizontal line by a predetermined number of lines.
