Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A video display device increases a feeling of brightness and expresses a video with high contrast by detecting a part of a video signal that emits light, enhancing the display luminance of the light-emitting part, and displaying the part. A light emission detection portion ( 1 ) uses a prescribed feature quantity related to the brightness of an input video signal, predetermines the light emission quantity for the video signal on the basis of the relationship with the feature quantity, and detects the light emission quantity for each input video signal frame from the feature quantity. A backlight luminance stretch portion ( 3 ) stretches the light source luminance of the backlight according to the light emission quantity detected. A video signal luminance stretch portion ( 6 ) stretches the video signal according to the light emission quantity or the luminance distribution of the input video signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A video display device comprising: a display portion for displaying an input video signal; a light source for illuminating the display portion; and a control portion for controlling the display portion and the light source, wherein the control portion detects a light-emitting part of the input video signal based on a luminance value of the input video signal or other feature quantity, and stretches a video signal of the light-emitting part to display o…
