In an image displaying apparatus including a motion compensated rate converting (FRC) portion, deterioration of image quality is prevented in an image having a high-speed region and a low-speed region mixed. The FRC portion includes a motion vector detecting portion 11e and an interpolation frame generating portion 12b. The motion vector detecting portion 11e includes a first region detecting means 112e1 that detects a first region (high-speed region) including a motion amount equal to or greater than a first predetermined amount from an input image signal, a second region detecting means 112e2 that detects a second region (low-speed region) including a motion amount equal to or less than a second predetermined amount from the input image signal, and a third region detecting means 113e that detects a still region from an inter-frame difference of the input image signal. The interpolation frame generating portion 12b executes a motion compensated interpolation process using motion vectors for the still region in the first region (background) and executes a zero-vector interpolation process for the still region in the second region (foreground).
