  • Patent number: 9219868
    Abstract: An image processing method executed in an image processing device, the image processing method including a to-be-updated pixel selection unit deciding, in response to a cyclic period serving as a frame period of a bright and dark stripe pattern of image frames configuring a moving image content, a group division form of constituent pixels of the image frames, dividing the constituent pixels of the image frames into a plurality of groups in accordance with the decided group division form, and generating, from each of the image frames, to-be-updated pixel information setting pixels of a specific group as to-be-updated pixels, and an output control signal generation unit selectively outputting, in accordance with the to-be-updated pixel information, to-be-updated pixels belonging to a specific group from each of the image frames, and generating an output control signal for causing pixels of a display image to be updated in units of groups.

  • Patent number: 9208407
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operating section accepting an operation by a user, a receiving section receiving data for a print job from an externally connected instrument, an image forming section starting an image forming based on a print job if the operating section accepts an operation to start the print job or if the receiving section receives data for the print job, a display section displaying varieties of information for printing on a display area, a lighting section illuminating the display section from a back portion thereof, and a control section causing lighting of the lighting section to be turned off gradually part by part until finally turned off entirely if entire lighting of the lighting section is in a state of keeping being turned on when the image forming section starts an image forming.
