In a liquid crystal light valve apparatus comprising an incident side polarizing plate, a twisted nematic liquid crystal cell of active matrix type and an outgoing side polarizing plate, two phase difference plates are provided between the incident side polarizing plate and the liquid crystal cell. Optical axes of both the phase difference plates are perpendicular with each other, and one of them is slanted by an angle, and thereby, a phase difference which is caused by the liquid crystal cell is compensated by the phase difference caused by two phase difference plates.

A tone display method which prevents degradation in image quality of moving images when the subfield method is utilized without an increase in cost. When tone display is performed with 256 tones with respect to one certain color, in each frame, segments 1 to 6 in time are set corresponding to the plural time-shared time bands of the color and each segment includes one or several subfields (sf). In each case, as the tone is increased by 42 (or 43) for segments 1 through 6, sequentially, the subfields in the segment being lit so that the tone is increased continuously. In each segment, the display is performed mostly according to the binary method for the subfields

A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate, at least one of which possesses light transmissivity, each having an electrode layer formed thereon, the electrode layers confronting each other, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, divided into plural regions, and including liquid crystal molecules. The liquid crystal molecules are oriented in the same direction in each of first regions, and in a different direction in second regions each located between two adjacent first regions. The second regions are spaced at a regular periodicity. Without an electric field applied to the liquid crystal layer, the different orientations of the liquid crystal molecules create differences in the refractive indices at which the light is transmitted so as to serve as a phase grating the diffracts incident light. When an electric field is applied, the difference in the refractive indices decreases, and the incident light is not diffracted but propagates as is through the panel. The liquid crystal display panel may be incorporated into a projection display apparatus having a light source and projection lens.

A projection display device includes a condensing unit and a shading unit. The condensing unit condenses light emitted from a light source to form a condensed spot on a color wheel. The shading unit, when a size of the condensed spot on the color wheel has increased due to an increase in light emission of the light source, shades a portion of the light passing through the color wheel corresponding to the increased size.

The aim is to improve the display capability of a PDP at lower gray scale levels by driving the PDP in a manner to adjust the luminance of Gray Scale 1 to an appropriate level. According to the drive method, one TV field is divided into a plurality of subfields SF 1, SF 2 . . . each having a reset period, an address period, and a sustain period. During the address period of SF 1, the sustain electrodes are held at a voltage (potential) Ve1. During the address period in SF 2 and the subsequent subfields, the sustain electrodes are held at a voltage (Ve+Ve2) The voltage Ve1 is higher than the ground voltage and lower than the voltage (Ve+Ve2).

A field sequential color display device includes a color wheel assembly. The color wheel assembly has a color wheel which is divided into a plurality of color regions and a motor for rotating the color wheel. The motor contains a sensor for detecting rotation of the motor and the sensor outputs at least one pulse per one revolution of the motor. The color wheel assembly also has a spatial light modulator for displaying image data that is driving in synchronization with the pulse output by the sensor.

A tone display method is provided that can prevent image quality deterioration of the dynamic image and can avoid a cost increase. When an image with 256 tones is displayed, one field is divided into 37 subfields for one color. Among the 8 bits corresponding to the 256 tones, the six high-order bits from the third bit are displayed by means of time width modulation using 35 subfields SF3-SF37 having weights of ““4” and “8”. The two low-order bits are displayed on a binary base using two subfields SF1 and SF2 whose weights are “'1” and “2”, respectively.
