Abstract: By adjusting parameters of single-eye 3D information on the basis of the visual-sense characteristic of a human being, it is possible to present a 3D image more hardly causing the human being to have a feeling of discomfort and a feeling of displeasure. An input-value-adjustment-quantity determination section determines an adjustment quantity of an input value on the basis of an evaluation function to serve as an adjustment quantity corresponding to a determined depth adjustment quantity. An adjustment-gain computation block computes a gain value of each of spatial-frequency components of an input 3D image on the basis of the adjustment quantity of the input value. An image adjustment block adjusts the spatial-frequency components in accordance with the gain values computed for the spatial-frequency components respectively. The present application can be applied to typically an image processing apparatus for adjusting depths of the input 3D image.

Abstract: A high voltage reception terminal is formed in a semiconductor integrated circuit without increasing the number of manufacturing processes and the manufacturing cost. A transfer gate configured from a NMOS, which is the high withstand voltage transistor, and a pull-up resistor are formed. An input terminal of the transfer gate is connected to the high voltage reception terminal and an output terminal of the transfer gate is connected to a CMOS inverter through an input resistor. One end of the pull-up resistor is connected to the output terminal of the transfer gate and the other end of the pull-up resistor receives source voltage VDD (5V). The transfer gate lowers the inputted high voltage VX (VX>VDD) to VDD-Vt1?. The pull-up resistor biases the voltage at the output terminal of the transfer gate to VDD and boosts the voltage at the output terminal that has been lowered by the transfer gate to about VDD.
