Abstract: Provided is a display device and a control method of the same which suppress the occurrence of color separation. The display device includes: a light source of plural kinds of colors; a plurality of elements which are provided to a plurality of pixels respectively, and change over transmission/non-transmission of light emitted from the light source; and a control part which expresses gray levels of the respective pixels by color sequential driving in which the presence/non-presence of lighting of the light source and the transmission/non-transmission of light by the elements are sequentially controlled. The control part fetches image data amounting to 1 screen and performs a display based on the image data for every image data use period, and performs a display of an image amounting to 1 screen for every frame display period. The frame display period differs from the image data use period in length.

Abstract: A liquid crystal panel (9) includes a front substrate (1a) and a back substrate (1b), and a liquid crystal layer (3) provided between these substrates. A seal (4) is used to bond the front substrate (1a) and the back substrate (1b) together. A region where either of the pair of substrates is in contact with the liquid crystal layer (3) is divided into a display region (6) and a non-display region (5). The number of spacers (2) per unit area is larger in the display region (6) than in the non-display region (5). In other words, the density of the spacers (2) is different between the display region (6) and the non-display region (5), and the density of the spacers (2) is higher in the display region (6) than in the non-display region (5). According to this configuration, the display region (6) cannot be deformed significantly even under pressure from outside, and thus the non-display region (5) is deformed by the pressure.
