The luminance of each divided subframe is determined so that the average luminance is equal to the luminance of the input image signal.

- the generated synchronization error is accumulated every time the frames are overlapped.
- the vertical synchronization period in the output VS signal is 801H. (An error of 1H has occurred in the frame). That is, when a synchronization shift occurs between the input VS signal and the output VS signal, a frame including an error in the vertical synchronization period is generated in the image signal after the format conversion.

In this case, the integrated luminance in one frame is “(minimum luminance + (subframe luminance) / 2)”.
- the control unit 15 sets one of the first half subframe and the second half subframe to the maximum luminance (white), and sets the other subframe. Gradation is expressed by changing the display brightness. In this case, the integrated luminance in one frame is “(subframe luminance + maximum luminance) / 2”.

Shows the display of luminance 1Z4 (maximum luminance 1Z4 luminance) and luminance 3Z4 (maximum luminance 3Z4 luminance). In this case, the luminance is 1Z4. In that case, the minimum luminance is displayed in the first subframe, and the luminance is 1Z2 in the second subframe. In this frame, an error in time ⁇ t is included! In this case, since this error is included only in the second half subframe, an integral luminance of 1/2 X ⁇ t occurs as an error.

Even in the case where the frame includes an error of ⁇ t, the integral luminance that is an error does not occur.
- the case where the influence on the display gradation can be reduced is described as the case where the high-luminance subframe is filled with the front force of the frame.
- the method of filling in the luminance in the other subframes will be described. Is totally free. For example, when time-division display is performed by dividing one frame into four, display is performed using only the previous three subframes until the display of luminance 3Z4 (during this period, the luminance of the last subframe is set to the minimum luminance). ) When displaying a luminance exceeding 3Z4, the last subframe should be used. At this time, up to luminance 3Z4, the luminance setting in the previous three subframes can be arbitrary.
- the sub-frame display of the display device is described as a display performed by dividing a frame into two or four sub-frames.
- the frame The number of divisions is not limited to this, and the display device may be designed to perform subframe display in which a frame is divided into three or more subframes.
- the division ratio of the subframe is not necessarily equal, such as 1: 1, and an arbitrary division ratio is not necessary.

In this case, the power to display luminance 1Z4 or luminance 3Z4 over the entire one frame period.If these frames contain an error of At time, the integrated luminance of 1Z4 X At and 3Z4 X ⁇ t is It occurs as an error.
- Fig. 4 (c) and Fig. 4 (d) show the luminance 1Z3 (maximum luminance 1Z3 luminance) and luminance 2Z3 (when the one frame is divided into two subframes with a division ratio of 2: 1).
- 2Z3 maximum brightness
- the minimum luminance is displayed in the first half sub-frame
- the maximum luminance is displayed in the second half sub-frame.
- an error in time ⁇ t is included!
- the integrated luminance of I X At is generated as an error.
- FIG. 4 is displayed in which luminance 2Z3 is displayed (in this case, display is performed with a luminance of 1Z2 in the first subframe and display with a maximum luminance in the second subframe. In this case, this error is included only in the second half subframe, so 1 X At integrated luminance is generated as an error.
- the division ratio of the subframe is not equal division such as 1: 1
- the subframe with the shorter period is set as the subsequent subframe
- the subframe with high luminance is set as the frame. If the front force is also filled, the effect of the present invention appears more remarkably.
- the period of the first half subframe may be longer than the period of the second half subframe. If the number of subframe divisions is 3 or more and the division ratio is not equal (non-uniform), the subframe with the shortest period may be the last subframe.
- the liquid crystal panel 21 in the present display device may be NB (Normally Black) or NW (Normally White).
- the display panel performs time-division driving, another display panel (for example, an organic EL panel or a plasma display panel) may be used instead of the liquid crystal panel 21. Good.
- each subframe is generally driven by being divided into an initialization period, an address period, and a display period (see Non-Patent Document 1). .
- this error is included in the display period of the last subframe. Therefore, if the luminance display is performed in the last subframe, the gradation display is not affected. The same as in the case of the liquid crystal panel. Therefore, it is preferable to display the luminance on the plasma display panel so that the last subframe is not used as much as possible V (to minimize the display as much as possible).
- the last subframe period is determined based on the current VS pulse in the same manner as other subfields because the next VS pulse force is determined.
- the influence of the error on the gradation display can be eliminated.
- the remaining error is displayed in the blanking period (black display period) or the initialization period of the first subframe in the next frame. Therefore, the influence on the display gradation can be eliminated.

- the present invention is not limited to this, and an information processing apparatus capable of recording a program for performing these processes on a recording medium and reading the program may be used instead of the control unit 15! /.
- the arithmetic device (CPU or MPU) of the information processing device reads the program recorded on the recording medium and executes the process. Therefore, it can be said that this program itself realizes processing.
- the information processing apparatus in addition to a general computer (workstation or personal computer), a function expansion board or a function expansion unit attached to the computer. Can be used.
- the above program is a program code of software (execution format program, intermediate code program, source program, etc.) for realizing processing.
- This program may be used alone or in combination with other programs (such as OS).
- the program may be such that after the recording medium power is read out, it is stored in memory (such as RAM) in the apparatus, and then read out and executed again.
- the recording medium on which the program is recorded may be one that can be easily separated from the information processing apparatus, or one that is fixed (attached) to the apparatus. It can also be connected to the device as an external storage device.
- Such recording media include magnetic tapes such as video tapes and cassette tapes, magnetic disks such as Floppy (registered trademark) disks and hard disks, and optical disks such as CD, MO, MD, DV D, etc. Disk), memory cards such as IC cards and optical cards, and semiconductor memories such as mask ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, and flash ROM.
