摘要： This invention allows printing an image with less image deterioration with respect to a document including both text and an image. An image processing apparatus includes a pixel value acquisition unit which acquires a pixel value of a pixel as a target in an input digital image, and a pixel value correction/modification processing unit which executes a correction/modification process based on the pixel value of the pixel acquired by the pixel value acquisition unit. The pixel value correction/modification processing unit includes a contrast correcting unit which executes contrast correction based on information representing a brightness value corresponding to the pixel value of the pixel, and an intermediate color removing unit which removes intermediate color in the digital image by replacing the pixel value of the pixel by pixel values of pixels around that pixel.

摘要： A plurality of scan electrodes and data electrodes, and a self-emission layer disposed between the two electrodes are provided, wherein a scan voltage is supplied sequentially to the scan electrodes, and data voltage that corresponds to the display signal data is supplied to the data electrodes. The emission layer of the portions at the intersection between the two electrodes defines pixels in two-dimensional arrangement. A single frame period is divided into a plurality of sub-fields, and the weight of emission luminance is set so that gradation is expressed by a combination of emission luminance in the sub-fields. The scan voltage has a waveform that corresponds to the weight in each sub-field, and the data electrodes are selectively put into on state by the data voltage in accordance with the display signal data. An emission luminance that corresponds to the weight is obtained with a voltage applied to the emission layer of each pixel between the scan electrodes and the data electrodes.
