摘要： In one embodiment of the present invention, data, such as video signal data, for example, for a next desired frame is first modulated or varied to facilitate a transition from a current frame to a next desired frame. A modulation processing section can be used, for example, to thus produce a corrected video signal to facilitate the current-to-next desired grayscale level transition. Thereafter, spatial filtering is then carried on the corrected video signal, using a spatial filtering section for example. As such, high frequency components in a spatial domain may be reduced, even after the spatial frequencies of an ordinary video signal and potentially those of noise have been scaled up. Therefore, undesirable noise-caused display quality degradation can be reduced or even prevented, while pixel response speed as a result of the facilitation of grayscale level transition is increased.

摘要： In one embodiment of the present invention, in the case of dark display on sub-pixels, a sub-frame processing section is disclosed which sets video data for a sub-frame to a value falling within the range for dark display, and increases or decreases video data for a sub-frame so as to control luminance of the sub-pixels. In the case of bright display, the sub-frame processing section sets video data to a value falling within the range for bright display, and increase or decreases video data so as to control luminance of the sub-pixels. A modulation processing section corrects video data of each frame and then outputs corrected video data to the sub-frame processing section. Also, the modulation processing section predicts luminance that the sub-pixels reach at the end of the frame and then stores prediction results for correction and prediction in the subsequent frame. This realizes a display device which is brighter, has a wider range of viewing angles, restrains deteriorated image quality caused by excessive emphasis of grayscale transition, and has improved moving image quality.

摘要： In a liquid crystal display apparatus realizing a dual view display by bonding a liquid crystal panel and a parallax barrier, the parallax barrier separates display images by treating three pixels including R, G, and B pixels as one unit (one picture element). At this time, luminance variation due to crosstalk concentrates on a right-end pixel among the three pixels constituting the one picture element (in a case where each pixel receives data from a source line immediately on the left of the pixel). Accordingly, the right-end pixel is arranged to be a B pixel that has a low correlation with luminance information and in which influence of crosstalk is hard to be viewed. Further, an applied voltage to be supplied to the display pixel of the B (blue) color and an input gradation are set to have a relationship along a γ curve that makes luminance variation difficult to occur in a low luminance area.

摘要： There is provided a motion-adaptive grayscale level converter section between a video signal source and a pixel array. The pixel array includes a liquid crystal cell of normally black and vertically aligned mode. The motion-adaptive grayscale level converter section determines based on information from a decoder section whether the pixels of an image represented by a video signal is in a moving image area. If a pixel is in a moving image area, the motion-adaptive grayscale level converter section changes the grayscale level data representing the grayscale level of the pixel so that there is no darker grayscale level than a predetermined first grayscale level. The resultant data is output as a video signal. Accordingly, we can provide a liquid crystal display capable of easing image quality degradation due to insufficient response when displaying a moving image while maintaining the contrast ratio achieved for a still image display.

摘要： A driving system of the present invention for use in a displaying device is provided with a pseudo bit-depth extension section. In the pseudo bit-depth extension section, a noise pattern is added to upper-n-bit data of an input signal D0 in m-bit, where (i) m is an integer of 9 or greater, and (ii) n is an integer of 8 or greater, but less than m. Then, upper-n-bit of data D1 thus obtained from the D0 is outputted, as output data D2, from the pseudo bit-depth extension section. The driving system is further provided with an overshoot-driving section for carrying out an overshoot-driving with respect to each of pixels. A noise amount of the noise pattern is 1 or less in 8-bit data, and a calculation in the overshoot-driving section is carried out with n-bit data. With this driving system which adopts a combination of (a) a overshoot-driving method for enforcing liquid crystal to respond at a high speed, and (b) a bit-depth extension technology in which a number of grayscales is increased by adding noise, it is possible to provide, at a low cost, a high-definition displaying device such as a liquid crystal display, having a high-response-characteristics and a high quality of grayscale reproduction.

摘要： In one embodiment of the present invention, when an image is displayed in an image display device which has a frequency of 50 to 70 Hz in one frame period, a control LSI is set so that, in the case where the frame average luminance of a pixel is in the range of 150 [cd/m2] to 350 [cd/m2], the contrast ratio between subframe periods is set to: a range of not greater than 50 and not smaller than 1.5 when the luminance is 150 [cd/m2]; a range of not greater than 3.5 and not smaller than 1.5 when the luminance is 200 [cd/m2]; a range of not greater than 2.2 and not smaller than 1.5 when the luminance is 250 [cd/m2]; a range of not greater than 1.8 and not smaller than 1.5 when the luminance is 300 [cd/m2]; 1.5 when the luminance is 350 [cd/m2], and, for a frame average luminance other than the frame average luminance in the range, the contrast ratio is set so as to be monotonously changed between the contrast ratios corresponding to the respective frame average luminance. As a result, flicker visibility can be prevented and moving image blur can be suppressed, thereby realizing an image display device that can display a moving image with high quality.

摘要： Provided are data lines, scanning lines crossing the data lines, and a switching element in vicinity of each intersection of the data lines and the scanning lines, the data lines being connected via the switching elements with pixel electrodes arranged in matrix. Direct-type backlights arranged in parallel with the scanning lines are provided, and a backlight turning-ON drive circuit for turning the direct-type backlights in order at a predetermined frequency in sync with a scanning signal is provided. In at least one embodiment, the backlight turning-ON drive circuit includes a controller for controlling the direct-type backlights to turn ON in order in sync with the scanning signal in such a manner that the direct-type backlights are turned ON discretely over frames being continuous based on a vertical sync signal. In at least one embodiment, this provides a liquid crystal display device, which adopts scanning-type backlights and in which the pseudo contour and the flickering can be prevented with a driving clock of 60 Hz, which is generally adopted in liquid crystal display devices.
