Abstract: A signal conversion circuit (20) is used for a multiple-primary color liquid crystal display device (100) which performs color display using four primary colors of red displayed by a red-sub pixel (R), green displayed by green-sub pixel (G), blue displayed by blue-sub pixel (B), and yellow displayed by yellow-sub pixel (Ye), and converts an input three-primary color video signal into a multiple-primary color video signal corresponding to four primary colors. The signal conversion circuit (20) performs signal conversion such that a gray scale level of the yellow-sub pixel (Ye) is higher than a gray scale level of the green-sub pixel (G) in at least some cases from among cases in which a red gray-scale level r, a green gray-scale level g, and a blue gray-scale level b which are displayed by the three-primary color video signal satisfy a relationship of r>g>b.

Abstract: A display control circuit of a liquid crystal display device generates a double-speed progressive image signal by changing an input image signal based on interlaced scanning into a progressive scanning mode, and also by doubling the frame frequency. With the double-speed progressive image signal, a pixel value equivalent to an odd-numbered scanning line in an odd-numbered frame remains unchanged, a pixel value equivalent to an even-numbered scanning line is replaced with a black pixel value, a pixel value equivalent to an even-numbered scanning line in an even-numbered frame remains unchanged, and a pixel value equivalent to an odd-numbered scanning line is replaced with a black pixel value. An image that the double-speed interlace image signal represents is displayed on a liquid crystal panel.
