Abstract
Kinds of an input video signal is discriminated. Sub-frames are disposed in such an arrangement that a sub-frame corresponding to a most heavy weight bit is located at a central portion of the unit display period, and sub-frames, each of which corresponds to a lighter weight bit than the most heavy weight bit, are disposed at positions before and after the most heavy sub-frame when the input video signal is discriminated as a still picture. Each of sub-frames which correspond to heavy weight bits including a most heavy weight bit is divided into two small sub-frames. The sub-frames are disposed in such an arrangement that small sub-frames corresponding to the most heavy weight bit are located at portions of the unit display period, small sub-frames, each of which corresponds to a lighter weight bit than the most heavy weight bit, at positions before and after the most heavy sub-frame when the input video signal is discriminated as a moving picture.
