Abstract: An electronic blackboard device calculates a pointed position and a side shape of a pointer on a display surface based on a state of receiving reflected light from the pointer at first and second infrared cameras. Subsequently, a pointed position image obtained by taking an image of the pointed position from an entirety of the display surface is acquired and a color of the pointer is recognized by processing the pointed position image. Then, a drawn image of a color corresponding to the pointed position, side shape and color of the pointer is displayed and only the drawn image of a predetermined color is displayed upon a drawn image designation request while displaying the drawn image.

Abstract: When a coordinate detector detects a first light-blocking object, a display device conducts a first local simultaneous scanning process for scanning a local area including the first light-blocking object and an entire sequential scanning process for scanning the entirety of a display surface in parallel. Additionally, during the first local simultaneous scanning process and the entire sequential scanning process conducted in parallel, when a second light-blocking object is detected by the entire sequential scanning process, the display device conducts a second local simultaneous scanning process for scanning a local area including the second light-blocking object in parallel with the first local simultaneous scanning process.

Abstract: A display device and an image optimization method in which a plurality of features of a received video signal are analyzed, optimization data corresponding to the analyzed result from an optimization information server is acquired when the optimization data is present in the optimization information server, the video signal is corrected on the basis of the optimization data, and a display is driven in accordance with the corrected video signal.

Abstract: A burn-in prevention image signal is generated by subjecting an input image signal to blurring and then to contrast inversion to invert the contrast of the signal luminance level. The burn-in prevention image signal is used when the input image is a still image that does not change for a predetermined period.

Abstract: A display device includes a plurality of polygonal display elements each including: a display unit that displays an image; and a sensor disposed at a peripheral edge of the display unit.

Abstract: A CCD 14 is disposed on the rear of the discharge cell structures 13, and light introduced from the discharge cell structures 13 to the rear side, or light leaked from the discharge cell structures 13 to the rear side is measured by the CCD 14. Then, the light amount measurement result outputted from the CCD 14 is quantified, and on the basis of this, the brightness correction is automatically performed.
