Abstract: A signal processing method comprises the steps of: inputting three signals specifying a color of one pixel; and generating four signals from the input three signals, wherein each of said four signals represents intensities of four different colors to display a color of one pixel by mixing colors, wherein said generating step includes a first converting step of converting the input three signals to two signals representing intensities of two colors among the four colors and a signal representing intensity of a mixed color obtained by mixing (a) the four colors or (b) a plurality of colors among the four colors; and a second converting step of converting the signal representing intensity of the mixed color to a plurality of signals representing intensities of a plurality of colors including at least other two colors different from the two colors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image display apparatus for forming an image with a plurality of luminescent spots to be precisely aligned in a matrix. For example, a spacer disposed between an electron source and a face plate causes luminescent spots on the face plate spaced unevenly. The luminescent spots spaced unevenly will produce a visual unevenness in luminance which deteriorates the quality of produced image. By modifying the quantity of light of luminescent spots spaced unevenly, the visual unevenness in luminance is compensated.

Abstract: In the image display device according to the present invention, control is performed such that a condition of not using a subsidiary pixel which corresponds to a specific color among the subsidiary pixels constituting a first pixel is selected as a condition for signal processing to output a signal for designating intensity of each subsidiary pixels constituting the first pixel, and a condition of using a subsidiary pixel which corresponds to a specific color among the subsidiary pixel constituting a second pixel is selected as a condition for signal processing to output a signal for designating intensity of each subsidiary pixels constituting the second pixel adjacent to the first pixel in the first direction.
