20130083087 | ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DISPLAY DEVICE - An organic light-emitting display device includes: an organic light-emitting panel in which a plurality of pixel regions are arranged, the pixel regions each including a drive transistor configured to drive an organic light emission element and a sensing transistor configured to detect a threshold voltage of the drive transistor during a sensing interval; and a controller configured to compare a pixel number of a low grayscale range and a pixel number of a high grayscale range, which are obtained from an image signal, and adjust the sensing interval according to a compared resultant. | 2013-04-04 |
20130083088 | Color Display Device And Method - It is intended to provide a field sequential color display device capable of reducing the problem of saccadic color breakup. The color display device represents color images by depicting data of respective color images with a monochromatic display element in synchronism with sequential on-off switching to three color light sources of red, green and blue. Each display frame, which is the minimum cycle of sequential on-off switching of red, green and blue light sources to display any given color image, includes a red color field for displaying data of a red color image, a green color field for displaying data of a green color image and a blue color field for displaying data of a blue color image. In each green color field, at least the red light source or the blue light source is turned on and off in addition to the green light source. | 2013-04-04 |
20130083089 | DISPLAY DEVICE, DISPLAY PANEL AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - There is provided a display device including a display part including a pixel of a first series having a first horizontal pixel width and a pixel of a second series having a second horizontal pixel width smaller than the first horizontal pixel width, the pixels of the first series and the pixels of the second series being arrayed alternately in each of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, and a light beam control part that controls a light beam from the display part or a light beam toward the display part. | 2013-04-04 |
