The invention provides an image processing device that reduces flickering on a screen by simplifying the structure of an image processing device. The image processing device can include a statistical value calculating unit, a correction parameter calculating unit, and an image correcting unit. The statistical value calculating unit can generate statistical value data. The correction parameter calculating unit equalizes the statistical value data using the low pass filter whose time constant changes according to whether change occurs in the scene, thereby generating the correction parameter. A look-up table is generated based on the correction parameter.

The invention provides an image processing device capable of reducing flickering on a screen by simplifying the structure of an image processing device. The image processing device can include a statistical value calculating unit, a correction parameter calculating unit, and an image correcting unit. The statistical value calculating unit can generate statistical value data. The correction parameter calculating unit generates a control signal in accordance with the degree of change in the scene thereby generating a correction parameter by using a low pass filter whose time constant changes based on the control signal and equalizing the statistical value data. A look-up table can then be generated based on the correction parameter.

The invention provides an easy and simple method of converting the resolution of image data, which is capable of generating the high-resolution image data without incongruity, does not make a circuit in the display device complicated and does not increase the power consumption. This invention can include a portable terminal device, such as a mobile telephone or a PDA, that processes and displays image data transmitted from the outside. Image data with a plurality of grayscales can be displayed by controlling the display state of each pixel in a display unit in accordance with grayscale control pulses corresponding to the number of grayscales. For example, when a 64 grayscale display is performed, a grayscale level is defined using sixty four grayscale control pulses. Thus, it is possible to emit light from pixels in the display unit by sixty four grayscale levels. Further, the resolution converting device can generate pseudo-high-resolution image data obtained by increasing the number of pixels of original image data by n multiplication and by reducing the number of grayscales of the original image data to 1/n. When displaying the pseudo-high-resolution image data, the number of grayscale control pulses is changed to 1/n by a halftone controller. That is, in the pseudo-high-resolution image data, the number of grayscales is 1/n. Therefore, the number of grayscale control pulses used for halftone display may be 1/n in accordance with the number of grayscales. Therefore, the low-resolution image data can be displayed without incongruity by converting the resolution, also, it is possible to reduce power consumption of the display unit by the reduced amount of the number of grayscale levels pulses.

A printing control system controlling a printer performing a printing operation by ejecting a plurality of ink including specific color ink or special ink. An ejection order specifying section specifies an order of ejecting the ink when the plurality of ink including the specific color ink or the special ink is ejected to perform the printing operation. A print data generating section generates print data for controlling the ejection of the ink every rank on the basis of the order specified by the ejection order specifying section. A printing control section allows the plurality of ink to be ejected in the order specified by the ejection order specifying section by sequentially controlling the printer on the basis of the print data sequentially acquired from the first rank among the print data of all the ranks generated by the print data generating section.

When an N-times density binary image having N+1 tones is compressed, only the tone of each pixel is converted into a compressed code. The compressed code has a number of bits necessary and sufficient to distinguish between the tones. When a triple-density image having 4 tones is compressed, for example, the tone of each pixel is converted into a 2-bit compressed code. When the original N-times density is restored from the compressed code, there is formed a dot pattern in which the number of dots corresponding to the tone, as represented by the compressed code of each pixel, are situated closer to the darker one of the two adjoining pixels.

Character pattern transforming system providing a character pattern whose size can be reduced or enlarged with an optional scale factor includes a gray scale device providing a plurality of values per pixel for adjusting the gray scale associated with the character pattern. The system further includes a pixel positioning circuit for determining the position of each pixel of the reduced or enlarged character pattern and a pixel coloring circuit for determining which of the pixels in the reduced or enlarged character pattern is to be colored based on the gray scale data. The thickness of the vertical lines of the transformed character pattern can be adjusted following enlargement or reduction of the character pattern. A detector circuit identifies right angle corners of the original character pattern to ensure that such right angle corners are maintained in the transformed character pattern.
