  • Publication number: 20150071605
    Abstract: A moving image player device of the present invention includes an interpolated image generating unit that generates an interpolated frame corresponding to a time between two adjacent input frames using two input frames among the plurality of input frames, and a video playing unit that detects a scene change in the video, outputs the plurality of input frames or the interpolated frames in time series based on the detection result, and plays the video at an arbitrary playing speed. When the scene change is detected, the video playing unit skips a display of the interpolated frames corresponding to time between an input frame at the end of a first scene and an input frame at the head of a second scene, and displays an input frame of the second scene or the interpolated frame after the input frame at the end of the first scene or the interpolated frame.

  • Patent number: 7295175
    Abstract: There is provided a device for driving a light-emitting display panel in which output limiter element is added to a DC-DC converter which associates a boosting operation. In the drive device, even though a forward voltage of a monitor element increases to operate the limiter element, predetermined display quality can be assured without considerably disrupting a color balance. On a display panel, a display region in which display pixels of R, G, and B are arranged and an arrangement region for monitor elements which monitor forward voltages of R, G, and B are formed. Output voltages obtained by the respective DC-DC converters are controlled based on the forward voltages obtained by the monitor elements. An output limiter is constituted by zener diodes to prevent converter output values from being excessive by increases in forward voltages from the monitor elements due to aging. Limiter values obtained by the zener diodes are set at different levels.
