Abstract: A lens tube has two, first and second lenses (1, 2), a tubular lens frame (3) for holding the two lenses (1, 2), and three spacers (7) in contact with the opposite lens surfaces of the first and second lenses (1, 2). The spacers (7) are arranged so as to be in contact with curved surfaces of the first and second lenses (1, 2) and determine the distance between the first and second lenses (1, 2). The lens frame (3) has the same inner diameter between the first and second lenses (1, 2), and the spacers (7) are in contact with the inner wall of the lens frame (3). Since the lens frame (3) has the same inner diameter between the first and second lenses (1, 2), the first and second lenses (1, 2) are held with their centers perfectly aligned with each other.

Abstract: Based on each of video data repeatedly supplied to a pixel, a signal processing section generates video data (Dd) for an image display period to be supplied to the pixel and video data (Db) for a blanking period to be supplied to the pixel, and outputs the video data (Dd) and (Db) in a predetermined order. Further, when a gradation transition from a gradation indicated by previous video data (D(i,j,k?2)) supplied to the pixel to a gradation indicated by current video data (D(i,j,k)) supplied to the pixel indicates an increase in luminance, a generating circuit for a blanking period of the signal processing section outputs video data indicative of a gradation which is increased compared with a gradation indicated by gradation data for a blanking period in a steady state, the video data thus outputted being regarded as video data (Db(i,j,k?1)) for a blanking period. This allows for providing a display device capable of displaying moving images with high quality.
