Abstract

A horizontal register transfer pulse generator includes: phase adjuster generating an output signal, from reference signal; and horizontal blanking period generator based on output signal, reference signal, and horizontal blanking pulse, wherein horizontal blanking period generator includes: delay masking pulse generator generating delay masking pulse delayed by predetermined phase relative to masking pulse generated on horizontal blanking pulse inputted into horizontal blanking period generator; and determination means determining phase difference between output signal and reference signal, when phase difference between output signal and reference signal is less than predetermined phase, horizontal blanking period generator combines masking pulse with output signal to generate horizontal register transfer pulse with horizontal blanking period, and when phase difference between output signal and reference signal is equal to or greater than predetermined phase, horizontal blanking period generator combines delay masking pulse with output signal to generate horizontal register transfer pulse with horizontal blanking period.
