An image processing apparatus including a frame doubling processing part for generating a doubled image signal, a false impulse drive processing part for outputting a current image signal after dividing the doubled image signal, a first frame memory for outputting the current image signal as a previous image signal delayed by one sub-frame, a correction processing part for correcting a gradation level of the current image signal after the previous image signal and the current image signal being input thereto, a second frame memory for outputting a delayed doubled image signal from the doubled image signal, and a movement detector for outputting a movement detection signal after the delayed doubled image signal and the doubled image signal being input thereto is provided, wherein the correction processing part corrects the gradation level of the current image signal when the movement detection signal is a signal indicating a dynamic image.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program

A projector device, which is simple and small and able to display images brighter and also able to improve the usefulness considerably. The effective reflecting lights of the mirror deflection type light modulators are focused into images at the position right in front of the projection lens, and the effective reflection lights are partly turned and focused on the two-dimensional position detector means for detecting the vertical and horizontal positions of the formed images. Then, based on the detected information from the two-dimensional position detector means, the mirror deflection type light modulators are finely displaced in the vertical and horizontal directions, or the mirror deflection type light modulators are finely displaced in the vertical direction and the synthesizing mirror means is finely displaced in the direction of focal length, so that the positions of the effective reflection lights of at least two mirror deflection type light modulators are adjusted, therefore the discrepancy of the positions among the colors can be effectively corrected and the image quality can be considerably improved.

Projector device

A tone correcting apparatus for an image display apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a test signal generating circuit for generating a test signal, a memory for outputting tone correction data depending upon the test signal, a modulating circuit for modulating the light from a light source depending upon the tone correction data, a detecting circuit for detecting the modulated light from the modulated circuit, and a control circuit for calculating correction data depending upon a detected signal output from the detecting circuit. The correction data is stored in memory. Also disclosed is a laser display apparatus in which a laser beam is modulated according to a video signal before being displayed. An synchronizing separating circuit separates a synchronizing signal from the video signal. A selecting circuit selects between a test signal generated by a test signal generating circuit and the video signal depending upon the synchronization signal. A memory outputs corresponding tone correction data depending upon the signal selected.
