Abstract: An operational unit determines, for subfield(s) other than a last subfield of a plurality of subfields constituting a single frame period, based on a difference determined by a data comparison unit, exceeded display data for setting the transmittance of each pixel to a value exceeding a target transmittance corresponding to image data supplied anew. The operational unit also determines, for the last subfield of the single frame period, based on the difference determined by the data comparison unit, target display data for setting the transmittance of each pixel to the target transmittance. An overshoot operation or operations are performed within the single frame period, and each pixel is set to the transmittance corresponding to the image data. This makes it possible to avoid trails occurring in moving image display and enhance the appearance of moving image display with no increase in frame rate.

Abstract: Since the drive data for display or their correction values are stored in correspondence with the combination of the upper bits of the current frame image data and the upper bits of the previous frame image data, the capacity of the high-speed memory circuit that stores the conversion table can be reduced. Accompanying the reduction in the capacity of the conversion table, since the precision of the display drive data or their correction values becomes lower, an interpolation circuit is provided and, by means of an interpolation calculation the display, drive data or their correction values having increased precision is generated and consequently the input image data is corrected to generate the display drive data.
