Publication number: 20220148486Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided by which plural scenes are displayed simultaneously with low load. The information processing apparatus that processes two or more image signals includes a division unit that decomposes the image signals for each color element, a selection unit that selects, from among the color elements of the two or more image signals, a color element of any one of the image signals for each color element, and an outputting unit that outputs the color elements of the image signals for each of predetermined regions. The predetermined regions are plural sub-frames into which one frame is divided in a time direction. The selection unit alternatively selects a color element from among the color elements of the two or more image signals in each of the sub-frames.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2020Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: KENJI HISANAGA, AKIHIKO IZUMI, TAKUYA NAMAE, HIROSHI MATSUYAMA
