Abstract: In an image displaying device provided with a frame rate conversion (FRC) portion, the image quality deterioration in a moving image likely to include a plurality of the same consecutive images due to a FRC processing is prevented. The FRC portion (100) of the image displaying device includes a motion vector detecting portion (101) that detects motion vector information from an input image signal, an interpolation frame generating portion (106) that generates interpolation frames based on the motion vector information obtained by the motion vector detecting portion (101) and a same image detecting portion (105) that detects a case where the same images continue in the input image signal. In the case where the image of the (n−1)-th frame in the input image signal is substantially the same as the image of the n-th frame, interpolation image generating processing with the motion compensation processing made ineffective is performed between n-th frame and (n+1)-th frame to prevent that the interpolation image including a lot of errors is output.

Abstract: In an image displaying apparatus including a motion compensated rate converting (FRC) portion, deterioration of image quality is prevented in an image having a high-speed region and a low-speed region mixed. The FRC portion includes a motion vector detecting portion 11e and an interpolation frame generating portion 12b. The motion vector detecting portion 11e includes a first region detecting means 112e1 that detects a first region (high-speed region) including a motion amount equal to or greater than a first predetermined amount from an input image signal, a second region detecting means 112e2 that detects a second region (low-speed region) including a motion amount equal to or less than a second predetermined amount from the input image signal, and a third region detecting means 113e that detects a still region from an inter-frame difference of the input image signal. The interpolation frame generating portion 12b executes a motion compensated interpolation process using motion vectors for the still region in the first region (background) and executes a zero-vector interpolation process for the still region in the second region (foreground).

Abstract: It is an object to prevent the image quality deterioration of a moving image likely to include a plurality of the same consecutive images such as a movie video and an animation video due to the motion-compensated frame rate conversion (FRC) processing. An image displaying device is provided with an FRC portion (10) for converting the number of frames in an input image signal by interpolating an image signal to which a motion compensation processing has been given between the frames in the input image signal, a genre determining portion (14) for determining whether the input image signal is a predetermined genre, and a controlling portion (15). The FRC portion (10) includes a motion vector detecting portion (11e) for detecting a motion vector between the frames of the input image signal, an interpolating vector evaluating portion (11f) for allocating an interpolating vector between the frames based on the motion vector information, and an interpolating frame generating portion (102) for generating an interpolating frame from the interpolating vector. In the case that the input image signal is relating to a movie or animation, the control portion (15) set the motion vector detected by the motion vector detecting portion (11e) to zero-vector to make the motion compensation processing of the FRC portion (10) ineffective.

Abstract: A chromatic dispersion compensator of present invention includes a high-refractive-index VIPA plate, a three-dimensional mirror, and a control unit. The high-refractive-index VIPA plate is made of a material such as silicon having a refractive index higher than that of optical glass and is able to output incident lights toward different directions according to wavelength. The three-dimensional mirror reflects the light of each wavelength emitted from the high-refractive-index VIPA plate, at a predetermined position and returns the light to the VIPA plate. The control unit controls a temperature of the high-refractive-index VIPA plate at a constant level while controlling the position of the three-dimensional mirror corresponding to a chromatic dispersion compensation amount. Thereby, larger chromatic dispersion can be compensated while a decrease in transmission bandwidth is suppressed.

Abstract: The quality of moving picture image with a large moving amount is prevented from deterioration due to moving compensation type frame rate conversion (FRC) processing. The image display device is comprised of an FRC unit (10) that interpolates an image signal subjected to moving compensation processing between frames so as to convert the number of frames of the input image signal, a moving amount judging unit (14) that judges whether a moving amount of the input image signal between the frames is larger than a predetermined value or not, and a control unit (15). The FRC unit (10) is provided with a moving vector detecting unit (11e) that detects a moving vector between the frames of the input image signal, an interpolation vector evaluating unit (11f) that allocates an interpolation vector between the frames on the basis of the moving vector information and an interpolation frame generating unit (12d) that generates an interpolation frame from the interpolation vector. In the case where the moving amount between the frames of the input image signal is larger than the predetermined value, the control unit (15) sets the moving vector detected by the moving vector detecting unit (11e) to be zero-vector, and it invalidates the moving compensation processing of the FRC unit (10).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an extreme ultraviolet light source target which can emits extreme ultraviolet light with high emission efficiency. A solid target made of heavy metal or heavy-metal compound and having a density 0.5 to 80% that of the crystal density is used. When the target is irradiated with a laser beam, plasma of the heavy metal contained in the target is generated, and extreme ultraviolet light having a predetermined wavelength which corresponds to the kind of the heavy metal is emitted from the plasma. When the density of the target is made to be smaller than the crystal density as described above, space distribution of the density of the generated plasma can be controlled, and the region in which plasma absorbs energy of the laser beam overlaps the region in which the plasma emits the extreme ultraviolet light. Thus, emission efficiency can be improved, preventing energy loss. For example, in a case where the SnO2 target having a density 24% of the crystal density is used, the emission efficiency at around 13.5 nm wavelength is higher than in the case where a Sn crystal target is used.

Abstract: The crosstalk of a display apparatus can be efficiently eliminated to realize a precise, high-quality display. A liquid crystal display apparatus includes, as a crosstalk elimination circuit, an adjacent picture element acquisition circuit (1) that acquires display signals of picture elements adjacent to a self picture element, and two-dimensional LUTs (2) that use the display signals of the adjacent picture elements, acquired by the adjacent picture element acquisition circuit (1), to correct display signals of the self picture element so as to correct RGB display signals. The Picture element display signals as corrected by the correction values output from the LUTs (2) are output to a source driver (4) via a timing controlling unit (TC) (3). In the crosstalk elimination circuit, the display signals of a picture element to be corrected and those of picture elements adjacent tot the picture element that influence the picture element are used to acquire a correction value, thereby correcting the display signals of the correction target picture element.
