Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide an imaging and display apparatus and method for providing small and reasonable apparatus while the imaging frame rate of the imaging element can be high without decreasing the resolution of the display image. For this object, an imaging and display apparatus comprises an imaging elementfor performing photo electric conversion on an optical image formed by an optical system, a display elementfor displaying image information, a readout control sectionfor sequentially reading out the image information from the imaging element, and a image selection sectionfor selecting image information to be displayed on the display elementfrom the image information sequentially read out of the imaging elementby the readout control section. The readout control sectioncontrols the readout of the imaging elementso that spatially different image information is included in the sequential readout period of the imaging elementcorresponding to the sequential display frames of the display element, and the image selection sectionselects spatially different image information which is read out of the imaging elementin sequential display frames.
