  • Publication number: 20200410956
    Abstract: A display device according to an embodiment of the disclosure comprises: a linear gamut mapping unit for deriving a linear gamut mapping result for matching a gamut of an input image signal to a target display gamut; a non-linear gamut mapping unit for deriving a non-linear gamut mapping result for matching the gamut of the input image signal to the target display gamut; and a mixing unit for generating an output image signal by mixing the linear gamut mapping result and the non-linear gamut mapping result. The disclosure may provide an optimal gamut mapping result that is intended by a user and an originator.

  • Patent number: 10469789
    Abstract: A digital device and a control method thereof are disclosed in the present specification. The digital device and the control method thereof according to the present invention may comprise the steps of receiving an image signal; separating the received image signal by a plurality of frequency bands; adjusting a gain for the image signal of each of the separated frequency bands; displaying an enhanced image on a screen by synthesizing the image signals of the respective frequency bands in which the gain has been adjusted; separating the screen, on which the enhanced image is displayed, into a plurality of areas; checking whether the maximum pixel value of the enhanced image displayed on the separated screen area, if the maximum pixel value of the enhanced image is larger than the reference value.
