DISPLAY CONTROLLER AND DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display controller and a display device provided with the same with which a degree of freedom in function selection and easiness in use can be more improved as a PDP. SOLUTION: When controlling the light emission luminance of an image to be displayed by controlling a number of sustain pulses to be used within a display period, a plurality of pieces of mutually different characteristic information for specifying a change in the number of sustain pulses relative to the change of average luminance in an image signal corresponding to the image to be displayed are stored in a characteristic storage part 7, any stored characteristic information is selected by a selection part 13, and the average luminance in an image signal Sin inputted from the outside in displaying the image is detected in an APL detection part 3. While referring to the characteristic information selected on the basis of the detected average luminance, the number of sustain pulses to be used for displaying the image is set and the sustain pulses of the set number are impressed to a PDP 5 so that the image can be displayed.
