CONTROL SIGNAL GENERATION CIRCUIT, VIDEO DISPLAY DEVICE, AND CONTROL SIGNAL GENERATION METHOD

摘要

A control signal generation circuit includes: a first circuit unit which controls, according to inputted video signals, light-up amount of each pixel of a display panel where a plurality of pixels constituted by including a white sub-pixel are disposed; and a second circuit unit which controls luminance of a backlight that lights up the display panel from a back surface. The second circuit unit calculates a saturation feature value in one frame from the saturation value of each pixel, generates a signal for controlling the luminance of the backlight based thereupon, and calculates a luminance increase rate by using the saturation value of each pixel and the saturation feature value. The first circuit unit performs luminance decreasing processing of each pixel according to the luminance increase rate, and supplements the saturation of each pixel according to the light-up amount of the white sub-pixels.
