  • Patent number: 9928796
    Abstract: A scanning signal is precisely output to a scanning signal line corresponding to a row range even in a case where a plurality of scanning signals (including a precharge signal) are output at the same time. A display control circuit of the display device sets row selection enable signals at H level so that main charging periods are set in a range from an ith row to an mth row, which corresponds to a moving image region, and precharging periods corresponding to the main charging periods are also set. Accordingly, a precise scanning signal in which a precharging period having a necessary length is set and no unnecessary precharging period is set at all is output to each of scanning signal lines connected to a scanning signal line driving circuit, so that deterioration of display quality is prevented.

  • Patent number: 9753325
    Abstract: The present invention suppresses expansion and contraction of a display image that occur in association with a change in the shape of a lens. A display device is equipped with an acquisition unit (50) that acquires a deviation amount by which a measurement position on a lens is displaced due to a change in the lens shape from a reference position before the change of the shape. A video data interpolation unit (51) prepares post-interpolation video data on the basis of the deviation amount.
