Patent ID: 7995018

Claim:
A display device for displaying the color video data of one frame period divided into a first field period and a second field period, comprising: an arithmetic circuit which, (1) in a first case that relative brightness of the video data of three primary colors in a present frame period is higher than relative brightness of the video data of the three primary colors in a previous frame period and the relative brightness of the video data of at least one and at most two primary colors of the three primary colors is in a range between a minimum brightness and a predetermined intermediate brightness inclusive in the previous frame period and the present frame period, outputs the video data of the at least one and at most two primary colors of the three primary colors in the relative brightness range for the previous frame period and outputs the video data of at least one remaining primary color of the three primary colors for the present frame period, and (2) in a second case other than the first case, outputs the video data of the three primary colors in the present frame period.
