Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing circuit for use in an electrooptic device having a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines, switching elements which are respectively disposed in correspondence with intersections between the scanning lines and the data lines, and pixel electrodes which are electrically coupled to the corresponding switching elements.
Abstract: A method of deriving from an existing selective image smoothing filter either a corresponding filter for selective image sharpening, or a corresponding filter for both selective smoothing and selective image sharpening. The selective sharpening filter can be implemented quickly by using implementations of the existing selective smoothing filter and a derived matching non-selective smoothing filter as black boxes and combining their outputs in a simple manner. Alternatively, the derived selective sharpening filter can be implemented by inlining the combination of the implementations of the existing selective smoothing.
