  • Patent number: 11902698
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a display apparatus that can more reliably suppress effects of heating. Provided is a display apparatus that includes a signal processing section, a panel section, and a vibration section. The signal processing section processes a video image signal and a sound signal. The panel section is in a plate shape and displays a video image corresponding to the video image signal. The vibration section is arranged on a back face side of the panel section and vibrates the panel section according to the sound signal. The signal processing section calculates a correction value for suppressing an amount of light emitted by the panel section on the basis of the sound signal and controls a level of the video image signal on the basis of the calculated correction value. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a television receiver.

  • Publication number: 20120162532
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus and a television receiver enable an improvement in visibility in a low-tone range in a configuration in which the brightness of a backlight is changed on the basis of brightness information relating to an image. The apparatus includes an APL curve setting portion and a histogram luminance modulating portion which adjust the brightness of the backlight and a tone signal on the basis of the average brightness of the image and the brightness histogram of the image. A black extending portion applies gamma correction to the tone signal adjusted by the histogram luminance modulating portion on the basis of a previously set gamma value.

  • Publication number: 20090085862
    Abstract: A video displaying apparatus is provided that can change light-modulation rate of a backlight source in accordance with changes in a feature quantity of an input video signal based on a difference between times required for the light adaptation and the dark adaptation. A video displaying apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel 3 that displays an input video signal, a backlight source 9 that applies light to the liquid crystal panel 3, an APL detecting part 6 that detects APL of the input video signal, and a control microcomputer 8 that variably controls a change amount of emission luminance of the backlight source 9 for each predetermined time based on the detected APL. The control microcomputer 8 performs control such that the change amount for the APL of the input video signal changing to a higher quantity becomes greater than the change amount for the APL of the input video signal changing to a lower quantity.
