  • Patent number: 9767743
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes the following elements. A liquid crystal display panel section includes a liquid crystal display panel. A backlight section, placed on the rear of the liquid crystal display panel away from an image display surface, extends from end to end of the liquid crystal display panel in the horizontal scanning direction and includes a plurality of blocks arranged in the vertical scanning direction. A circuit section performs control in the first one of a plurality of sub-frames having the same contents displayed on the liquid crystal display panel so that a block irradiating a portion, where an image segment is being updated, in the liquid crystal display panel is turned off, and performs control in another sub-frame other than the first sub-frame so that the block irradiating the portion, where the image segment is being updated, in the liquid crystal display panel is turned on.

  • Patent number: 9600906
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a first calculation unit, and a conversion unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire image information including first color information that is represented by a first color gamut. The first calculation unit is configured to use information on a color gamut of an image display system that is capable of displaying an image based on the image information to calculate conversion information used for converting the first color information into second color information that is expressed by a second color gamut based on a user's instruction. The conversion unit is configured to use the conversion information to convert the first color information into the second color information.
