1. A display apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to perform an image processing based on an input image data so as to generate an output image data; and
an electro-luminescence display panel including a plurality of light-emitting pixels, respective ones of the plurality of pixels including a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a white sub-pixel,wherein the image processing includes;
calculating a gain value based on a first luminance information value, the first luminance information value being a portion of the input image data corresponding to a specific one of the plurality of pixels, andgenerating a second luminance information value based on the first luminance information value and the gain value, the second luminance information value being a portion of the output image data corresponding to the specific one of the plurality of pixels,wherein the circuitry is configured to increase the gain value in response to;
a decrease of an area of an image object to which the specific one of the plurality of pixels belongs to, andan increase of the first luminance information value relative to an average value of the input image data corresponding to a predetermined region of an image included in the input image data, the predetermined region being larger than the area of the image object.

Abstract
An image processing unit includes: a gain calculating section obtaining, based on first luminance information for each pixel, a first gain, in which the first gain is configured to increase with an increase in pixel luminance value in a range where the pixel luminance value is equal to or larger than a predetermined luminance value, and in which the pixel luminance value is derived from the first luminance information; and a determination section determining, based on the first luminance information and the first gain, second luminance information for each of the pixels.
