摘要:
A color conversion apparatus receives red-green-blue color data, calculates characteristic information and first hue region data from the color data, adjusts the first hue region data according to the characteristic information to obtain second to N-th hue region data, N being an integer equal to or greater than three, generates matrix coefficients for the second to N-th hue region data, and performs a matrix operation on the second to N-th hue region data to obtain color data with four or more color components. Color data with three primary components are thereby converted to color data with four or more primary components by simple calculations, without using a large amount of memory space.

An image display apparatus includes a light source for emitting a plurality of light beams arranged in a direction corresponding to a sub-scanning direction, a light source driver for individually modulating intensities of the plurality of light beams; a light scanning unit for performing main scanning and sub-scanning; an image display screen for receiving the plurality of light beams scanned in the main and sub-scanning directions; and a controller, wherein, in one frame period, a distance of movement of the light irradiation positions on the image display screen moved by one sub-scanning is a distance obtained by multiplying an interval between adjacent two scanning lines in the sub-scanning direction on the image display screen by a predetermined integer which is an integer smaller than number of the plurality of light beams arranged in the direction corresponding to the sub-scanning direction.

An image signal representing consecutive video frames is resampled, using different sampling phases so that different subsets of pixels are taken from each frame in a consecutive set of frames. The resulting set of resampled frames is combined into a single frame and transferred to an image display unit that divides the single frame into subframes and displays the subframes sequentially with different pixel shifts. Each pixel in each subframe is displayed at its correct spatial and temporal position. Although the resampling process greatly reduces the pixel data transfer rate, the image display unit can reproduce still images without loss of definition and moving images without motion blur.

A light diffusion element includes a liquid-crystal diffusion layer that variably diffuses an amount of light depending on an applied voltage, a first electrode that is laid on a plane of the light diffusion layer and made of a first and a second segmented-electrodes, a second electrode that is laid on the other plane of the light diffusion layer, a voltage applying unit that generates and applies two types of voltages, and a voltage changing unit that varies the two types of voltages. One of the voltages is applied between the first segmented-electrodes and the second electrode, and the other between the second segmented-electrodes and the second electrode. Both the segmented-electrodes are included in each pixel.
摘要:
An image processing circuit for driving a liquid crystal that encodes and decodes image data to reduce the size of the frame memory that, when it quantizes (45) each block of image data in the current frame and outputs encoded data, selects (44) a mean value on the basis of the dynamic range of each unit block and adjusts the amount by which the image data is reduced (53). This type of control enables it to reduce the amount of image data that must be temporarily stored in the delay circuit (5), so the size of the frame memory constituting the delay circuit can be reduced while minimizing the encoding error that occurs in the encoder (4). Consequently, the image data can be corrected accurately and appropriate voltage corrections can be applied to the liquid crystal without the effects of coding and decoding errors.

In a period from temporal storage of a video signal to reading and displaying of the video signal, an average value 121 of the brightness levels obtained from a video signal before the video signal is stored in a storage means 3 and a predetermined target value 122 are used to perform a calculation by using a proportionality term and an integration term so that a quantity of limited electric currents is obtained. Moreover, the quantity of limited electric currents is provided with a non-response region or a hysteresis characteristic.

In order to reduce the total capacity of a ROM used for adjustment of the black level and the white level of a digitized luminance signal for a television receiver, for example, a comparator compares the input luminance signal with a predetermined threshold value, a NOT gate inverts the input luminance signal, a first switching unit selects the input luminance signal or the output of the NOT gate, a ROM outputs an adjustment characteristic signal responsive to the output of the first switching unit, a multiplier multiplies the output of the ROM by a weighting signal and outputs the result of the multiplication as an adjustment value, a subtractor subtracts the adjustment value from the input luminance signal, an adder adds the adjustment value to the input luminance signal, and a second switching unit selects the output of the subtractor or the output of the adder.

The frequency of the dot clock in an image display device is adjusted by calculating a first image characteristic from the differences between adjacent picture elements, varying the phase of the dot clock, determining whether the frequency of the dot clock is correct from the way the first image characteristic varies according to the phase of the dot clock, and changing the frequency if it is incorrect. The first image characteristic is, for example, the maximum difference, the histogram distribution of the differences, or a ratio calculated from the histogram. The phase of the dot clock may be adjusted according to a second image characteristic, such as the difference between a single pair of pixel values, which is also measured over a range of dot-clock phase settings.

An image display device includes a smoothing unit that filters the image data to be displayed. According to one aspect of the invention, only bright parts of the image that are adjacent to dark parts are smoothed, thereby improving the sharpness of dark dots and lines displayed on a bright background. According to another aspect, different primary colors are smoothed with different characteristics, enabling unwanted colored tinges to be removed from the edges of white areas. According to still another aspect, smoothing moves the luminance centroids of all primary colors in a direction in which the display screen is scanned, to reduce ringing effects without needless loss of edge sharpness.
