- FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a method for calculating the coefficient corresponding to the blue component NB at the negative level.
- Each color component R, G, B of the RGB signal has coefficients Rr to Rc in in in which linear combination is performed.
- the level of each color component of the RGB signal is
- the coefficient is multiplied by the green component G level, as shown in (II) of Fig. 12.
- the brightness of the five primary colors MPC—R to C for displaying the green component G is obtained.
- the luminance shown in (III) corresponds to the luminance when the level of the blue component NB is 0.058, dividing the luminance shown in (III) by 0.058 gives the level of the blue component NB.
- the luminance (reference value) when is 1 is obtained as shown in (V).
- the luminance ratio shown in (V) is none other than the ratio of the five primary colors for displaying negative gray levels. From the value shown in (V), it can be seen that as the absolute value of the level of the blue component NB increases, the luminance of yellow as a complementary color increases and the luminance of the other primary colors decreases.
- the value shown in (VI) is obtained by inverting the sign of the value shown in (V), and the coefficient for the blue component NB in the negative level It can be. In this way, the coefficient for the blue component NB at the negative level (coefficient for linear coupling) can be obtained.
- the level of each color component of the input RGB signal is assumed from the chromaticity and brightness when only the yellow sub-pixel is fully lit, and the coefficient for the blue component NB
- the coefficient for the blue component NB can be back calculated from the chromaticity and brightness of the color displayed in other lighting states.
- the present invention relates to the phenomenon that the saturation of the complementary color side increases and the overall luminance decreases due to the fact that a signal of a primary color shows a negative value from 0.
- this is a means of increasing the brightness of the primary colors of the complementary colors while lowering the brightness of the primary colors other than the complementary colors. Therefore, as long as such a signal can be generated, the calculation method introduced in the description of the present embodiment is not necessarily required.
- the generated five primary color signals may be input to the multi-primary color panel 120 after performing gamma correction.
- the display device that converts the three primary color signals into the five primary color signals and displays them is exemplified, but the number of primary colors employed in the present invention is not limited to these.
- the present invention receives m primary signals corresponding to m primary colors (m is smaller than n! /, A natural number), and n primary color signals corresponding to n primary colors (n is a natural number of 4 or more). Applies to display devices that convert to and display. For example, the present invention is also applied to a display device that converts and displays three primary color signals into six primary color signals.
- the present invention is also applied to a field sequential drive type display device.
- the components of the display device 100 described above can be realized by hardware, and some or all of them can also be realized by software.
- these components When these components are realized by software, they may be configured by a computer, and this computer executes a CPU (central processing unit) for executing various programs and these programs. RAM (random access memory) that functions as a work area. Then, a program for realizing the function of each component is executed on the computer, and this computer is operated as each component.
- CPU central processing unit
- RAM random access memory
- the program may be supplied from a recording medium to a computer or may be a communication. It may be supplied to the computer via a network.
- the recording medium may be configured so as to be separable from the computer or may be incorporated in the computer. This recording medium can be read via a program reading device connected to the computer as an external storage device even if the recording program code is attached to the computer so that the computer can directly read the recorded program code. Even if it is something that is worn like
- Examples of the recording medium include tapes such as magnetic tapes and cassette tapes: magnetic disks such as flexible disks / hard disks, magneto-optical disks such as MO and MD, and optical disks such as CD-ROM, DVD and CD-R.
