Display Apparatus

摘要

A display apparatus with a display part displaying a picture thereon by allowing pixels to emit light in proportional to the number of sustaining pulses inputted during a luminescence period of a plurality of sub-fields time-sharing a frame of a video signal, the display apparatus comprises a brightness level determiner to determine a brightness level of the video signal; a sub-field coder to change the video signal into a sub-field code word formed as binary data that is sequentially arranged with respect to a plurality of sub-fields and representing a luminescence state of the pixel of the display part at each sub-field, and to output the sub-field code word to the display part; and a luminescence pattern generator to determine the number of sustaining pulses applied to the plurality of sub-fields forming the frame according to the brightness levels determined by the brightness level determiner, and to transmit the sustaining pulses to the display part during a luminescence period of each sub-field until the number of representable gradation levels is equal to the number of sustaining pulses for the frame. With this configuration, the present invention provides a display apparatus, in which a gradation level is fully divided corresponding to the number of available sustaining pulses and a moving picture is displayed with a low false contour.
