摘要
An image display device includes: a display; gate signal lines including a first pixel row and a second pixel row; a gate driver; data signal lines; a source driver; and a controller that determines whether the second pixel row has correlation with the first pixel row in an image. When determining that the second pixel row has the correlation with the first pixel row, the controller causes the source driver to supply the data voltage corresponding to the first pixel row, causes the gate driver to supply the gate signal to write the data voltage in the first pixel row, and causes the gate driver to supply the gate signal to write the data voltage corresponding to the first pixel row in the second pixel row.

This application claims priority from Japanese application JP 2019-038916, filed on Mar. 4, 2019. This Japanese application is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to an image display device and a display method for the image display device.
In a liquid crystal display device, for example, based on an image signal input from an outside, frame images displayed on a liquid crystal display are sequentially switched to display a smooth image on the liquid crystal display. Generally, 60 Hz is used as a frame frequency that is a frequency at which a frame image is switched.
Reduction of power consumption by decreasing frame frequency has been studied in liquid crystal display devices. For example, Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-280578 discloses a display device that detects whether the input image signal is a signal representing a still image or a moving image, and reduces the power consumption during image display by decreasing frame frequency when the input image signal is the signal representing the still image.
However, in the display device disclosed in Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-280578, image quality degradation is generated due to the decrease in frame frequency.
The present disclosure provides an image display device that can reduce the power consumed in a display panel while preventing the generation of the image quality degradation, and a display method for the image display device.
