Patent number: 10158848Abstract: A projection video display that projects video image suppresses deterioration of its quality which is attributed to a change in an optical path of the video image. A video signal generator performs control such that a second subframe in an N-th frame in a left-eye image is displayed on DMDs and then a second subframe in an N-th frame in a right-eye image is displayed on the DMDs. Furthermore, the video signal generator performs control such that a displayed location is not changed on a screen and the same types of subframes are displayed at the time when frames are switched.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ken Mashitani, Takaaki Abe, Tamotsu Akeyama

Patent number: 7463295Abstract: The present invention includes a film or video image pickup signal recording/reproduction system having an image pickup apparatus outputting an image pickup signal, a recording apparatus recording the image pickup signal, a reproduction apparatus reproducing the recorded signal, a characteristic conversion apparatus switching the characteristic of the reproduced signal, and a display apparatus displaying the signal output from the characteristic conversion apparatus. The image pickup apparatus has two kinds of gamma curve characteristics. The gamma curve characteristic data is recorded by the recording apparatus and extracted by the reproduction apparatus. The gamma curve characteristic of a reproduction image is switched by the characteristic conversion apparatus depending on the data. The image is output on a display apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2003Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Ryoji Asada, Akihiro Takeuchi, Akira Usui, Yoshitaka Sakamoto, Takayuki Kimoto, Tamotsu Akeyama
