Patent ID: 7436377

Claim:
A display with a self-light emitting display unit, comprising: first means detecting the maximum value of input signals on each line; second means not only determining which of predetermined plural classes each line belongs to using the maximum value of the line and predetermined threshold values, but also calculating a total number of lines belonging to each class; third means determining the number of lighting-up times in each class in one field period based on the total number of lines belonging to the class obtained by the second means and a predetermined reference total number of lighting-up times and furthermore, determining the number of lighting-up times on each line in one field period based on a result of classification on the line obtained by the second means and the number of lighting-up times on each class in one field period; and fourth means not only performing correction processing for input signals on each line in one field based on the number of lighting-up times on each line in the one field period determined by the third means, but also controlling a self-light emitting display unit using the numbers of lighting-up times on each line in one field determined by the third means and an input signal after the correction processing.
