A display device for information signals which performs highly efficient image display of a standard television signal, a high definition television signal, a progressive scanning television signal or a stereoscopic television signal on the same screen has a first signal input unit applied with the standard television signal, a second signal input unit applied with the high definition television signal, progressive scanning television signal or stereoscopic television signal, a mode designation unit for designating a mode for display of one of the signals, a signal conversion unit including a write unit for writing the first signal, at a frequency thereof, to memories and a read unit for reading the memories at a frequency which is nearly twice that of the first signal, a signal switching unit, a signal processing unit and a deflection switching unit, whereby a first display signal from the signal conversion unit or a second display signal from the second input terminal is selected and image-displayed on the same display unit through a deflection system. Through this, the cost of the device can be reduced, the standard television signal having less scanning lines can be displayed with substantially the same number of scanning lines as that of the high definition television signal, various kinds of disturbances can be eliminated to improve the image quality and a stereoscopic image can also be displayed.

Display device for information signals

A plurality of photo detectors are arranged outside the display screen of a projection display apparatus having a built-in digital convergence correction system and a function for adjusting data in the frame memory so as to coincide the photoelectric devices of the photo detectors with the adjustment patterns is provided. The adjusted data when the convergence on the entire screen of the display is adjusted and the adjusted data when the convergence is adjusted by the adjustment function before misconvergence is generated are memorized beforehand. When misconvergence is generated, the convergence is adjusted by the adjustment function again, and a corresponding correction value is obtained on the photo detector by calculating the adjusted data at this time and the prememorized adjusted data, and a correction value on the entire screen is obtained by executing an interpolation calculation from this correction value, and the misconvergence on the entire screen is corrected.

Convergence correction system with recovery function and display

A television receiver which can display images in different displaying forms on a display screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9 by controlling the video chroma processing circuit by the micro computer by operating the remote controlled signal acceptor or the key switch has memories. The first memory stores video control data for each displaying form and the second memory stores appointed data for designating predetermined video control data. When the displaying form is changed by operating the remote controlled signal acceptor or the key switch, the micro computer reads the video control data corresponding to the displaying form which is newly set from the first memory according to the appointed data of the second memory and changes, for example, the contrast characteristic in the signal processing circuit according to the read data. By doing this, in the television receiver which is applicable to both a high quality television system and the conventional television system, when displaying images of conventional television signals in different displaying forms on a display screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9, the most suitable image quality can be obtained for each displaying form.

System and method for converting video signals for display on television

In a television receiver in which scanning for an incoming video signal is performed at a frequency n times as high as the input horizontal synchronous frequency by suitably controlling writing and reading on its video memory, the signals for writing and reading on the video memory unit are generated by a horizontal synchronization/deflection circuit. The horizontal synchronization/deflection circuit is arranged by having a clock generation/synchronous deflection circuit for generating reference signals to control the writing and reading on the video memory unit provided with a phase comparator such that a horizontal drive signal to drive a horizontal deflection circuit and a flyback pulse are brought in phase.

A motion detecting circuit is used for a motion-adapted scanning line interpolating circuit in a television system. The motion detecting circuit comprises an inter-frame correlation detecting circuit for detecting and outputting the value of correlation of video signals between adjacent frames, an inter-field correlation detecting circuit for detecting and outputting the value of correlation of signals of corresponding pixels between adjacent fields and an adjusting circuit for adjusting the output of the inter-frame correlation detecting circuit in accordance with the correlation value outputted from the inter-field correlation detecting circuit. An interlace/non-interlace signal converting circuit is also provided with the motion detecting circuit.
