Abstract: A programmable device connected to a storage unit which stores logic circuit configuration information to form a logic circuit and control circuit configuration information to form a control circuit includes a first programmable logic device and a second programmable logic device, and a configuration unit which forms the control circuit in the first programmable logic device, by providing the control circuit configuration information in the storage unit to the first programmable logic device. The control circuit formed in the first programmable logic device forms the logic circuit in the second programmable logic device, by providing the logic circuit configuration information in the storage unit to the second programmable logic device.

Abstract: An image display correcting apparatus of the invention comprises, broadly, a correction data forming apparatus and an image display apparatus. Correction data for correcting a display state of an image is formed by the correction data forming apparatus on the basis of an image as a reference displayed on the screen of a CRT. Further, on the basis of the correction data, an operation of correcting image data is executed so that an image is accurately displayed on the image display apparatus. The corrected image data is outputted to the CRT. Thus, a defective display state such as image distortion, misconvergence, or the like can be corrected at low cost and a high quality image can be displayed.
