Abstract
A high-definition luminance signal Yis converted into a luminance signal Yof a rate (subpixel sampling rate) corresponding to the number of subpixels in the horizontal direction on a display by a subpixel number-of-pixel converter. The luminance signal Yis converted into a luminance signal Yof a sampling rate of the display by a number-of-pixels-in-pixel-units converter. The luminance signal Yand the luminance signal Yare mixed by a mixer, and a luminance signal having a frequency characteristic located between a frequency characteristic of the luminance signal Yand a frequency characteristic of the luminance signal Yis output. A mixing rate of the mixer is controlled according to a control value that is generated by an image feature detecting portion.
