  • Publication number: 20170092217
    Abstract: A video display apparatus includes an input unit, a determination unit, and a change unit. The input unit inputs a current video signal of a current frame and a previous video signal of a previous frame. The determination unit determines whether to perform accelerated drive for correcting the current video signal or perform decelerated drive for correcting the current video signal, based on the current and previous video signals. The change unit changes a correction amount of the current video signal, which is decided based on a relation between the current video signal and the previous video signal, based on a result of the determination by the determination unit.

  • Patent number: 9538125
    Abstract: A display apparatus and a driving method thereof capable of assuring reliability in frame inversion driving and improving cinema video image quality are provided. To accomplish this, a display apparatus of the embodiment replaces at least one of a plurality of frame images obtained by doubling the frame rate, with a different image before display. Specifically, the display apparatus replaces at least one of the double-speed converted plural frame images with a high-frequency emphasized image and at least one with a low-frequency component image, and displays the frame images. Furthermore, the display apparatus replaces an image at the border between cinema images with a different image before displaying.

  • Patent number: 9415705
    Abstract: A seat including a seat back, a walk-in lever that releases the seat back so that the seat back may rotate, a slide mechanism having an upper rail and lower rail, a connection device between the seat back and a slide mechanism that releases the slide mechanism, a lock lever that rotates in response to rotation of the seat back, and a lock lever that rotates in response to rotation of the seat back. The seat configured so that rotation of the seat back in a forward direction by a predetermined amount releases the slide mechanism so that the seat may slide in a fore-aft direction. The slide mechanism configured so that, in the locked position, the lock lever directly contacts the lower rail such that forward force on the seat is directly transferred from the lock lever to the lower rail at the point of direct contact.

  • Patent number: 9349351
    Abstract: Each frame image is acquired as an input image. An image obtained by emphasizing high frequency components in the input image is generated as a high frequency component emphasized image, a composite image is generated by compositing the input image and an input image of a previous frame before the input image, and an image including low frequency components in the composite image is generated as a low frequency component image. Then, the high frequency component emphasized image and low frequency component image are alternately output as images of sub-frames of the input image.
