Abstract
This invention provides a display apparatus having high accuracy to control automatically power consumed for display operation suitable for emission-type display apparatus like a plasma display apparatus, electroluminescence display apparatus and a light emission diode display apparatus. The display apparatus comprises an emission unit (27), integrating circuits (11,12,13) for integrating input picture signals of R, G and B for each predetermined period to output average levels of R signal, G signal and B signal, respectively, multiplying circuits (14,15,16) for multiplying those average levels by their respective parameters KR, KG and KB, respectively, an adder (17) for obtaining a signal indicating expected consumption power on the emission unit by adding output signals from the multiplying circuits, a controller (18) for receiving the power prediction signal to output a control signal based on the received signal, and a brightness control circuit for controlling light emission amount per unit area according to the control signal.
