Abstract: Kinds of an input video signal is discriminated. Sub-frames are disposed in such an arrangement that a sub-frame corresponding to a most heavy weight bit is located at a central portion of the unit display period, and sub-frames, each of which corresponds to a lighter weight bit than the most heavy weight bit, are disposed at positions before and after the most heavy sub-frame when the input video signal is discriminated as a still picture. Each of sub-frames which correspond to heavy weight bits including a most heavy weight bit is divided into two small sub-frames. The sub-frames are disposed in such an arrangement that small sub-frames corresponding to the most heavy weight bit are located at portions of the unit display period, small sub-frames, each of which corresponds to a lighter weight bit than the most heavy weight bit, at positions before and after the most heavy sub-frame when the input video signal is discriminated as a moving picture.

Abstract: A core-material container constituted of a container main body whose opening is covered with a sheet-like lid member made of an air-permeable material. In order to charge powder core material through a core-material charging inlet uniformly as well as densely, the charging operation of the core material is carried out in the following manner: housing the core material container in a housing space formed by a positioning guide and a plate member; releasing air from a suction outlet, thereby making the core-material charging inlet adhere around a nozzle; releasing air located inside a sealed space enclosed by an upper frame and a lower frame through an air outlet; and charging the core material through the nozzle while evacuating the core material container. Thus, the core material is uniformly charged by air flows caused by the air release, and the charge is densely carried out since air contained in the core material is removed.
