20100091042 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - In one embodiment of the present invention, a frame interpolation process circuit performs an interpolation process on a video signal in units of frames. A time-division gradation process circuit performs gradation level conversion for distributing brightness for one frame cycle to two sub-frame cycles, i.e., first and second sub-frame cycles. A gradation level change detection circuit detects whether a gradation level of each pixel has changed between consecutive sub-frames. For any pixel having its gradation level changed, an overshoot process circuit outputs, instead of an output signal of the time-division gradation process circuit, a video signal obtained by subjecting an output signal of the frame interpolation process circuit to gradation level conversion for emphasizing a temporal change of the signal. A predetermined-times higher speed process circuit may be added to this circuit configuration, or may be substituted for the frame interpolation process circuit. This makes it possible to improve moving image display performance, while making up for a lack of response speed of display elements. | 04-15-2010 |

20110273489 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A gradation change detection circuit determines whether a gradation value has been changed from a previous frame.
