Abstract: A light emission portion of a video signal is detected, and the display intensity of the light emission portion is enhanced for emphasis display. At this moment, the intensity stretch amount is controlled in accordance with a status of video black display, thereby increasing the feeling of brightness and hence improving the video quality. An area-active-control/luminance-stretching portion stretches and increases the intensity of a backlight portion on the basis of an index related to a brightness calculated, on the basis of a predetermined condition, from the input video signal, and lowers the video signal intensity of the non-light emission part excluding the light emission part. At this moment, the area-active-control/luminance-stretching portion changes, in accordance with a black display amount detected by a black detection portion, a control curve that defines the relationship between the index related to the brightness and the stretch amount.

Abstract: Apparatus for evaluating optical components and systems that uses a precision compact mirror support structure to present to an optical system or electro-optical system (e.g., a camera) multiple images of at least one optical evaluation target over a wide field to allow assessment of the performance or alignment of the optical or electro-optical system over its intended field of use. The mirror support structure generates multiple images of an optical evaluation target by providing multiple folded optical paths between the target and the desired field locations of the test optic. The mirrors employed may either be parallel or at angles with respect to one another.
