Patent number: 11902698Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Inventors: Hiroshi Yoshioka, Tomohiro Suzuki, Daisuke Miki, Masao Zen, Tetsuo Ikeyama
