20160379583 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - A display device includes a processor including a first display mode in which the processor displays the image on the display screen from an internal image data after the processor receives a first control signal, and a second display mode in which the processor displays the image on the display screen from the image data received by the processor after the processor receives a second control signal. A luminance adjuster adjusts a display luminance based on the internal image data corresponding to a final frame immediately before switching from the first display mode to the second display mode to a display luminance higher than a display luminance of the internal image data of another frame in the first display mode. In the final frame, the image is displayed based on the internal image data in which the display luminance is adjusted by the luminance adjuster. | 12-29-2016 |

20220139310 | SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - The present disclosure relates to a signal processing device and an image display apparatus including the same. The image display apparatus includes a display, an image receiver configured to receive an input image, and a signal processing device configured to perform signal processing of the input image from the image receiver and to output image data to the display, wherein, when a luminance deviation of a first input image is greater than a luminance deviation of a second input image, the signal processing device controls a luminance adjustment change rate of a first input image to be less than a luminance adjustment change rate of the second input image. Accordingly, contrast of an image displayed on the display is improved. | 05-05-2022 |
