A color component image with a relatively high luminance level is extracted as a fundamental image from an input image. A differential image is obtained by subtracting color component of the fundamental image from an input image, and is decomposed into a plurality of color components. The differential image for each color component is divided into two. The fundamental image is displayed at a middle timing of a frame period. The half-divided differential images are displayed at timings before and after the middle timing for the fundamental image so that the half-divided differential image with higher luminance level with consideration for visibility characteristic is displayed at a timing closer to the middle timing for the fundamental image. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20100265281 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - The image display device includes a light source section having light emitting subsections; a display panel; and a display control section performing a control. An input frame image is decomposed into a plurality of field images and the field images are displayed in a field sequential manner.
