Abstract: An element-side substrate includes an element array area, an RGB switch circuit, and a source driver IC. The center of a terminal group coupled to video signal lines of the source driver IC is shifted (displaced) by a distance “g” leftward from the center of the RGB switch circuit, thereby making it possible to lengthen portions of bent left video signal lines that extend in the top-bottom direction while shortening portions of bent right video signal lines that extend in the top-bottom direction. As a result, it is possible to shorten a distance “h” between the source driver IC and the RGB switch circuit while fully avoiding interference with a large area occupied by left control lines and also avoiding interference with a small area occupied by right control lines.

Abstract: A video display apparatus is provided wherein even for ones, such as 32 pull-down and 22 pull-down, in which since the motion range of an original material is wide, there is a high probability of degradation of the precision of detected vectors, the processing time is effectively used to enhance the precision of detected vectors, thereby generating interpolated pictures having higher qualities. The apparatus recalculates, based on motion vectors (Va) used in generating the first interpolated picture, motion vectors for use in the next interpolated picture generation, thereby detecting recalculated motion vectors having higher precision and less errors than the original motion vectors. A repeated-picture determining part utilizes an interval, during which identical pictures requiring no vector detections consecutively appear, to further improve the precision of motion vectors.
