Abstract: A matrix display device has first and second discharge sustaining electrode drive circuits that perform power recovery for the capacitance load through an LC resonance circuit using an inductor. During a luminescence emission period, a discharge is effected for display by applying an alternating voltage between each of plural first discharge sustaining electrodes and each of plural second discharge sustaining electrodes with a capacitance load corresponding to each display pixel. In the address scanning operation, the scan drive circuit selects the first discharge sustaining electrode per line, and in the discharge sustaining operation, the scan drive circuit provides a function for recovering power on the first discharge sustaining electrode. This is intended to decrease loss in the power recovery operation.

Abstract: Each picture element includes first and second sub-picture elements, each of which includes a liquid crystal capacitor and at least one storage capacitor. After a display voltage representing a certain grayscale level has been applied to the respective sub-picture element electrodes of the first and second sub-picture elements, a voltage difference ?V? is produced between voltages to be applied to the respective liquid crystal capacitors of the first and second sub-picture elements by way of their associated storage capacitor(s). By setting the voltage difference ?V? value of the blue and/or cyan picture element(s) to be smaller than that of the other color picture elements, shift toward the yellow range at an oblique viewing angle can be minimized.

Abstract: The disclosed invention provides a display device for performing a gradation display, using a plurality of subframes of image into which one frame of image is divided, and a display method that reduces dynamic false contour noises occurring when the image is displayed and is suitable for plasma display panels and the like. Dynamic false contour noise reduction is performed by detecting luminance on/off state change (carry up/carry down) in a region where a smooth tone level change occurs and interchanging the tone values of pixels in the region. The reduction processing is controlled, based on an amount of motion of an original image and a display load ratio, so that dynamic false contour noise reduction is performed favorably. By carrying out different ways of processing for each frame, noise reduction in the time domain is performed.
