Abstract
A display control device () disclosed includes (i) a display/non-display video image determining section () that determines, on the basis of (i) video image information about a video image displayed by a display device () and (ii) viewing mode information indicative of a viewer's desired mode of viewing a video image, whether the video image displayed by the display device () is a display video image or a non-display video image and (ii) a shutter operation control section () that closes a right-eye shutter and a left-eye shutter of a liquid crystal shutter () when a video image determined as a non-display video image, which is unnecessary for the viewing mode and which is thus not to be displayed to the viewer, is displayed by the display device (). The display control device () thus closes the right-eye shutter and the left-eye shutter of the liquid crystal shutter () when a non-display video image is displayed by the display device (). This arrangement allows each viewer to view a video image in a mode suitable for the viewer.
