Abstract

In a synchronization control circuit according to the present invention, an image can smoothly be switched to another without distortion due to switching between sync signals to be displayed. The phases of sync signals of input video signals A and B are compared with each other in a phase difference detecting section, and the sync signal of one (B) of the signals is matched with that of the other signal A. When signal A is switched to signal B, an image is displayed in response to the corrected sync signal of signal B (corresponding to the sync signal matched with that of signal A). As a result, the synchronization state of signal A is maintained on a display screen, and the image can smoothly be switched without distortion.
