  • Patent number: 11935473
    Abstract: In a display device that changes the number of light emissions per frame period, a display control circuit outputs a control signal specifying an emission period included in a frame period to an emission control line driver circuit. The emission control line driver circuit adds sequential delays to the control signal and thereby generates signals to be applied to the emission control lines. When leading and trailing frame periods have the same proportion of emission periods but include different numbers of emission periods, the leading and trailing frame periods are intervened by a transition frame period having a different proportion of emission periods from the leading frame period. This configuration prevents flickering caused by the changing of the number of light emissions per frame period.

  • Publication number: 20240078975
    Abstract: A display device is provided with: a display portion including a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixel circuits; a scanning line drive circuit; and a data line drive circuit. The level of a data voltage applied to the data line decreases when a frame frequency is switched higher, and increases when the frame frequency is switched lower. This can prevent a display flicker when the frame frequency is switched. The level of the data voltage may change when the frame frequency is switched, and may return to its initial level over a plurality of frame periods. The timing of the control signal used to drive the display portion may change in accordance with the frame frequency to cause the length of the charging period of the pixel circuit to change in accordance with the frame frequency.

  • Patent number: 11273002
    Abstract: A display system includes an irradiator, an imager, an image generator, a projector, a display, and an adjuster. The irradiator irradiates an object with light having a wavelength in an invisible light region. The imager captures an invisible light image based on light excited by the light having the wavelength in the invisible light region, and a visible light image based on light in a visible light region, in the object. The image generator generates a projection image based on the invisible light. The projector projects the projection image onto the object with visible light. The display displays the invisible light image, the visible light image and the projection image in a superimposed manner with each other. The adjuster adjusts the projection image on the display, based on a user operation. The projector projects the projection image adjusted by the adjuster.
