摘要： According to our invention, linked operation between a monitor apparatus for displaying images, and a set-top box for transmitting image signals to the monitor apparatus via a required interface, can be achieved properly, even if both units are constructed in casings separate from each other. The monitor apparatus uses a CEC line to transmit a CEC vendor command including at least a code associated with unit information, and the set-top box apparatus transmits the CEC vendor command including at least the code associated with the unit information. Upon receiving the vendor command from the set-top box apparatus, the monitor apparatus switches to the linked operation with the set-top box.

摘要： An object of the present invention is to provide an image display technology with which high contrast can be stably obtained.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention changes the gain of a digital luminance signal by feeding back information on maximum and average luminance levels of the luminance signal, adjusts image contrast, and in accordance with the average luminance level detected from the feedback system, controls the illuminance of the backlight applied to a display unit. The control increases the illuminance of the backlight when the detected average luminance level is higher than the upper-limit value of a previously set reference range, and reduces the illuminance when the detected average luminance level is lower than the lower-limit value of the reference range.

摘要： The present invention provides a technique for performing gamma correction processing when there are a plurality of characteristic areas, each of which is characterized by the high frequency in a luminance histogram to improve the impression of contrast. According to the present invention, a luminance characteristic detector (4) detects the luminance of an input image signal and a microcomputer (5) calculates an APL and a luminance histogram of an input image signal. A gamma correction circuit (6) performs the gamma correction processing in response to the luminosity of the input image signal by use of the result of the calculation carried out by the microcomputer (5). Then, if there are a plurality of characteristic areas, each of which is characterized by the high frequency in the luminance histogram, a characteristic emphasis circuit (7) performs grayscale extension processing for the plurality of characteristic areas. This makes it possible to perform the most suitable processing in response to the input image signal so that the impression of contrast is improved.

摘要： A disclosed technique for adjusting the image quality uses a moving picture for a sample stored in advance on a storage medium. A plurality of sample moving picture images, based on the moving picture for a sample read from the storage medium, having different image quality relative to each other are displayed on the screen. This technique enables confirmation of how the actual image having been subjected to the image quality adjustment would be displayed in an apparatus for displaying a moving image, such as a television receiver, because the sample stored on the storage medium is a moving picture.
