Abstract
A scan format conversion apparatus has a scanning conversion circuit which digitally converts an interlaced-scanning TV signal into noninterlaced-scanning RGB signals and synchronizing signals. A plurality of interpolation computing circuits respectively produce a plurality of interpolation signals from the signals outputted from the scanning conversion circuit by executing computing operations. A plurality of image memories respectively store the signals outputted from the interpolation computing circuits for one-frame period. A memory controller properly controls the writing and reading operation performed by the plural image memories. The apparatus generates a plurality of scan-line data by a certain amount more than those which are generated by the noninterlaced-scanning operation, and then selects scan-line data available for a display unit with uniform alignment from the increased scan-line data.
