20100033623 | SCANNING LINE INTERPOLATING DEVICE AND SCANNING LINE INTERPOLATION METHOD - An interpolation processing section determines a pixel value of an interpolation-target pixel by a diagonal interpolation process. An interpolation value limiting section compensates the pixel value determined by the interpolation processing section such that it becomes a value between pixel values of two adjacent pixels above and below the interpolation-target pixel. An intersection area detecting section judges whether or not the interpolation-target pixel is located in, when the horizontal axis represents a horizontal position and the vertical axis represents a pixel value, an area in proximity of a horizontal position where a curve line, representing pixel values of pixels on the scanning line above the interpolation-target pixel, and a curve line, representing pixel values of pixels on the scanning line below the interpolation-target pixel, intersects. Depending on a judgment result by the intersection area detecting section, a selecting section selectively outputs a pixel value determined by the interpolation processing section, or a pixel value compensated by the interpolation value limiting section, as an interpolated video signal. By this, the advantageous effect of the diagonal interpolation process is fully exerted while suppressing image quality degradation due to a false operation of the diagonal interpolation process. | 02-11-2010 |
20100254610 | SCANNING LINE INTERPOLATION APPARATUS AND SCANNING LINE INTERPOLATION METHOD - An interpolation processing section detects an angle of an edge in an image, and based on the detected angle, determines a pixel value of an interpolation target pixel in an oblique area in which there is an oblique edge by performing oblique interpolation, and determines a pixel value of an interpolation target pixel in a non-oblique area which is an area excluding the oblique area by performing vertical interpolation. A nonuniform sharpening section performs sharpening processing, in a direction vertical to a scanning line, more strongly for the non-oblique area in the image for which a scanning line has been interpolated by the interpolation processing section, than for the oblique area. Thus, unnaturalness at the boundary between, of the edge whose angle gradually varies, a part for which oblique interpolation has been performed and a part for which vertical interpolation has been performed, can be reduced. | 10-07-2010 |
20110007050 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD - When displaying moving images by using liquid crystal panels and others, a problem exists in that tail streaks occur, and image degradation is resultantly caused. To solve this problem, an echo suppression circuit divides a video signal into a pair composed of two successive frames for comparison between these two frames in signal level for the purpose of suppressing an echo phenomenon occurring when a liquid crystal panel displays video signals including moving images. If these two frames are not the same in signal level, the signal is accordingly corrected so as to equalize the signal level of these frames. Based on the video signals and others corrected by the echo suppression circuit, a controller operates the liquid crystal panel with AC drive through a source driver and a gate driver. As such, the drive voltage used to operate the liquid crystal panel with AC drive is adjusted so as to be balanced between positive and negative. In this manner, the tail streaks are prevented when displaying moving images. | 01-13-2011 |

20100045185 | CATHODE FOR DISCHARGE LAMP AND DISCHARGE LAMP USING THE SAME - A cathode for a discharge lamp contains emitter material, wherein a carbide layer is formed on an outer surface of the cathode, the carbide layer is formed on an area extending from a tip portion of the cathode, and two or more grooves extending toward the tip portion of the cathode are formed on the area where the carbide layer is formed. | 02-25-2010 |
20100148686 | HIGH PRESSURE DISCHARGE LAMP LIGHTING APPARATUS - A discharge lamp lighting apparatus includes a discharge container, a pair of electrodes and a power supply apparatus. An alternating current of a frequency, which is lower than stationary frequency, is inserted periodically into the alternating current of stationary frequency. When a lighting current value of the discharge lamp is smaller than a predetermined lower limit, the frequency is set as predetermined minimum frequency. When the lighting current value of a discharge lamp is larger than a predetermined maximum value, the frequency is set as predetermined maximum frequency. When a lighting current value of the discharge lamp is between the lower limit and the maximum value, the frequency is set as a selected frequency corresponding to the lighting current value. The selected frequency increases according to an increase of frequency change as a lighting current value increases. | 06-17-2010 |
