Abstract

An MPU changes the phase of a sampling clock signal by one step for each frame until the change in the phase reaches 360 degrees. An image quality detector portion sequentially receives a digital image signal to detect a maximum one of data about the absolute value of a difference between adjacent pixels in one frame as an image quality judgement data signal. The MPU detects a maximum one of all image quality judgement data to determine a phase at that time as an optimum phase of the sampling clock signal. The MPU then periodically checks image quality on a screen, and makes a real-time correction to the phase of the sampling clock signal if a temperature drift or the like occurs.
