Abstract
A motion vector detecting unitdetects a motion vector Vof an input image X(n), and an interpolating vector generating unitgenerates an interpolating vector Vin accordance with the motion vector V. In a two-dimensional display mode, the input image X(n) is output as an original image, and an image generating unitgenerates an interpolated image X(n+0.5) in accordance with the interpolating vector V. In a three-dimensional display mode, the input image X(n) is output as a left-eye image L(n), and the image generating unitgenerates a right-eye image R(n+0.5) in accordance with a sum of the interpolating vector Vand a parallax vector Vinput from the outside. The image generating unit is shared in a frame rate conversion process and a three-dimensional conversion process, and the right-eye image is generated at the same location as the interpolated image in time axis. In this way, image quality is increased when a moving image is displayed with a small amount of circuit.
