| 20090141052 | DISPLAY DEVICE, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - A display unit has subpixels arranged in a row direction and an intersecting column direction. A light-shielding member is arranged to overlap every other boundary of the subpixels arranged in the row direction in front view. An image data synthesis circuit generates image data of a composite image to be displayed on a part of the display unit based on first and second images. Each of the subpixels forms either a first or second subpixel alternately arranged in the row direction. The first subpixel and the second subpixel are arranged at adjacent positions on opposite sides of the light-shielding member in front view. In the part of the display unit, the first and second subpixels display, respectively, the first and second images on the basis of image data of the composite image. In another part of the display unit, the first and second subpixels display a third image. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090309958 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device provides first and second images. The display device includes a display panel having electro-optical elements, including a first element group with first-image display elements displaying the first image and a second element group with second-image display elements displaying the second image. A light advance control unit controls light emitted from the first element group to advance to a first area displaying the first image and controls light emitted from the second element group to advance to a different, second area displaying the second image. The first and second element groups are controlled such that a first period in which the first-image display elements are driven and at least a part of the second-image display elements is not driven and a second period in which the second-image display elements are driven and at least a part of the first-image display elements is not driven are repeated. | 12-17-2009 |
