摘要

A display unit having a display section where luminescent elements that are self-luminescent depending on the amount of the current are arranged in a matrix pattern. The display unit includes a luminescence amount specifying section to set up a reference duty for specifying the luminescence amount per unit time for each of the luminescent elements according to the video information of incoming video signals, and an adjustment section that adjusts an actual duty for specifying a luminescence time required for the luminescent elements to produce luminescence per unit time on the basis of the reference duty to fall within a specified range and that adjusts the gain of the video signals such that the luminescence amount specified by the actual duty and the gain of the video signals may be the same as that specified by the reference duty.
