To solve the problem that when a space with a set width is inserted after each character to regularize the spaces between characters the overall character spacing is widened, making text less easy to read, there are provided a character control code storage unit (5) for storing, for each character display position, a character control code (CTD) including a character code (CC) and character width data (CW), and a positional control unit (4) for reading the character control code (CTD) for the present character display position from the character control code storage unit (5), and controlling the occurrence interval of the present character display position according to the character width data (CW) in the character control code (5) that was read and the previous character display position.

The frame-parallax-adjustment-amount generating unit outputs, as first parallax data, parallax data of an image portion protruded most among image portions protruded more than a first reference value from a pair of frame images forming a three-dimensional image. The pixel-parallax-adjustment-amount generating unit outputs, as second parallax data, parallax data of an image portion retracted more than a second reference value from the pair of frame images. The adjusted-image generating unit generates a pair of image output data by moving the entire pair of image input data to the inner side based on the first parallax data and moving an image portion retracted more than the second reference value of the pair of image input data based on the second parallax data to adjust a parallax amount and outputs the pair of image output data.

A block noise detector has a spatial difference calculator that calculates differences between values of adjacent pixels. A spatial difference comparator detects edges by comparing the calculated differences. Eight counters count edges detected at different groups of positions spaced eight pixels apart in each horizontal line. The maximum count and the group of positions at which it occurs are detected at the end of each horizontal line to detect block noise and the positions of the block boundaries. The block noise detector is small in size because it only has to count edges in one line at a time, and detects edges accurately by comparing the difference at a given position separately with differences to the left and differences to the right.
摘要:
A first edge width correction process (2) is carried out in which edge widths are corrected by an interpolation process using zoom ratio control values (RZC) generated according to the edge widths in image data; an enlargement processing process (3) that enlarges the image data with edge widths corrected by the first edge width correction process (2) is carried out; a second edge width correction process (4) similar to the first edge width correction process is carried out on the enlarged image data; and an edge enhancement process that enhances edges in the image data with edge widths corrected by the second edge width correction process is carried out. An image processing apparatus is obtained that mitigates the loss of sharpness in an enlarged image and accordingly makes it possible to provide better picture quality.

In a liquid-crystal-driving image processing circuit that encodes and decodes image data to reduce the frame memory size, the present invention has the object of providing a liquid-crystal-driving image processing circuit capable of correcting image data accurately and applying appropriately corrected voltages to the liquid crystal without being affected by encoding or decoding errors, even when moving images are input.To achieve the above object, the liquid-crystal-driving image processing circuit according to the present invention takes a difference between first decoded image data corresponding to the image in the current frame and second decoded image data corresponding to preceding-frame image data, selects either the image data of the current frame or the second decoded image data for each pixel on the basis of the difference, thereby generates preceding-frame image data, and corrects the gray-scale values of the image of the current frame on the basis of the preceding-frame image data and the image data of the current frame.
摘要:
Motion blur periods (bf) are detected (14) from gradation differences (g1) between a first image signal (d1) and a second image signal (d2), gradation differences (g2) between the second image signal (d2) and a third image signal (d3), and results of the detection of transition periods (h) in the gradations of the second image signal (d2), and the second image signal (d2) is corrected (3) only during the detected motion blur periods (bf). Transition periods (h) are deemed to occur when, for example, the absolute value of a gradation change in the second image signal is greater than a first predetermined threshold value (S1) and less than a second predetermined threshold value S2 (

An image display device comprises a first clock generator for generating and outputting a first clock based on input horizontal synchronizing signals corresponding to horizontal lines making up input image signals, a second clock generator for generating and outputting a second clock, storage configured so as to accumulate image data sampled from the input image signals based on the first clock using the first clock output from the first clock generator and read out the accumulated image data using the second clock output from the second clock generator, a controller for outputting control signals for controlling the cycle of output horizontal synchronizing signals at the time of reading out and displaying the accumulated image data from the storage, according to image size information of the input image signals, cycle information of the input horizontal synchronizing signals, display panel size information, and cycle information of the second clock, and a synchronizing signal generator for outputting the output horizontal synchronizing signals based on the control signals output from the controller. Accordingly, image scaling processing can be performed properly at arbitrary conversion ratios.
摘要:
An image signal generating unit supplies a single image signal to multiple image display units having different unit numbers. Embedded in the image signal is an index signal designating the image display units on which the image signal is to be displayed. Each image display unit compares its unit number with the index signal to select displayable frames of the image signal, preferably storing and displaying the most recent selected frame. Each image display unit can thereby display a different image. The image signal may have a standard format.

A tone step detector detects whether the tone of n-bit input image data varies gradually, and generates a tone processing control signal indicating that a tone step is contained. A bit shifter bit-shifts the n-bit input image data to the left by α bits, to generate (n+α)-bit image data. A tone processor smoothes the image data of the (n+α)-bit image data generated by the bit shifter, in the region where the tone processing control signal indicates that a tone step is contained, to generate (n+α)-bit image data having been smoothed in the above-mentioned region. Because of the selective smoothing, degradation in the image quality due to quantization is reduced even when an analog image signal whose tone varies gradually is input.
