  • Patent number: 10429726
    Abstract: An image display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a first light source module, a second light source module, an output control unit, and an image generation unit. The first light source module emits a first laser light. The second light source module includes a light source unit that emits a second laser light and a phosphor layer that emits visible light by excitation by the second laser light. The output control unit controls outputs of the first laser light and the second laser light on a basis of an average and a dispersion of luminance values in pixels of an input image. The image generation unit generates an image on a basis of the first laser light emitted from the first light source module and the visible light emitted from the second light source module.

  • Patent number: 7472998
    Abstract: A display device able to give an image giving a good impression such as a sharp contrast in a dark scene and maintaining brightness in a bright scene, that is, a display device comprising a variable aperture iris and a control circuit for controlling opening/closing of the iris in accordance with a state of a level of an input signal forming a screen, wherein the control circuit controls the iris so that a response of an open/close operation of the iris is different between a case where the signal level fluctuates from a dark level to a bright level and a case where the signal level fluctuates from a bright level to a dark level.
