Abstract: A dual-loop PLL circuit is provided with a clamping circuit 12, an A/D conversion circuit 14, a reference color burst outputting circuit 18, a PLL circuit 24, and phase detecting circuit 34. The phase of a reference color burst KK outputted from the circuit 18 is changed at a slice level SL, and the level SL is changed by a reference phase value in the phase detecting circuit 34. The sampling clocks outputted from the PLL circuit 24 to the A/D conversion circuit 14 are converted to a signal of a frequency of 4 Fsc, and the phase of the signal can be changed continuously by using the reference phase value. In addition, since the phase of the sampling clocks can be adjusted to a desired value and the output signal of the A/D conversion circuit 14 can be converted onto a prescribed color difference signal by a signal conversion circuit and outputted, the color difference signals can be demodulated easily with high accuracy.

Abstract: A contour emphasizing circuit in which VE detected by a vertical contour component detecting unit and HE detected by a horizontal contour component detecting unit are added by a first adder and then multiplied by a coefficient, and the product is added to an input video signal by a second adder to output an emphasized-contour video signal. The circuit contains a comparing/judging unit for comparing VE with HE and judging whether or not the absolute value of the difference between them is smaller than a present value S, and a coefficient change-over multiplier unit for changing the coefficient by which the sum (VE+HE) is multiplied over to K/2 or K according to the judging signal. For a pixel from which both HE and VE are detected, the coefficient change-over multiplier is changed from K or K/2 by a judgment signal of the comparing/judging unit to decrease the contour emphasizing component.

Abstract: A motion vector difference detection stage 10 detects a difference D1 in motion vector between a current frame and a succeeding frame and a difference D2 in motion vector between a preceding frame and current frame. A latched circuit 50 outputs the motion vector S1 of the inputted current frame as a motion vector S2 in the case where both of the absolute values of the differences D1 and D2 does not exceed a preset value L1, and outputs the motion vector S1 of the frame preceding the corresponding frame as a motion vector S2 in the case where at least one of the absolute values of the differences D1 and D2 exceeds the preset value L1. The latched circuit 50 outputs a motion vector of 0 as a motion vector S2 in the case where both of the absolute values of the differences D1 and D2 exceed the preset value L1 and also the absolute value of the sum of the differences D1 and D2 exceeds the preset value L1.

Abstract: In a subfield drive method, two subframes of the least brightness are arranged adjacently to each other to select and light up the display device in terms of the change in image brightness in the time axial direction. When, for example, the level of original signal changes from 7 to 8 or from 8 to 7, SF3, SF2, SF1 and SF1 are selected as subframes for level 8, and SF3, F2 and SF1 are selected as subframes for level 7. This prohibiting any continuous lighting or non-lighting at the levels 7 and 8, there is no substantial change in brightness nor degradation of picture quality at that time. Any distortion of moving image (pseudo contour) is removed by the correction circuit 20 having the frame memory 24 that delays by one frame, the correction constant set circuit 26 that outputs correction data, and the adder 28 that adds the correction data to the original image signal.
