  • Patent number: 9176683
    Abstract: An image information processing device has a controller which is configured to display images represented by the image files included in a target image group selected by a user on the display unit sequentially at particular switching intervals. The controller detects whether one of a plurality of specific flick operations is performed during execution of the switching-displaying process. When it is determined that one of a plurality of specific flick operations is performed, one of the plurality of associated processes to be applied to an image which is currently displayed on the display unit is executed.

  • Patent number: 8988473
    Abstract: Under a normal environment, when red, green and blue displays are to be performed, the displays are performed singly by a red pixel, a green pixel and a blue pixel respectively, and under a high-illuminance environment, when the red display is to be performed, the display is performed by also shining the pixels other than the red pixel simultaneously, when the green display is to be performed, the display is performed by also shining the pixels other than the green pixel simultaneously, and when the blue display is to be performed, the display is performed by also shining the pixels other than the blue pixel simultaneously, thereby increasing the luminance of a screen. In this case, although the chromaticity of each color is lowered, since the luminance works more predominantly on the image quality under the high-illuminance environment than the chromaticity, image quality degradation does not occur.

  • Patent number: 8928919
    Abstract: There is provided a computer-readable medium allowing a computer of an image processing apparatus to execute: an image-obtain processing; a display-control processing of allowing a display screen to display at least images which are a part of a plurality of images based on the obtained image data; and a selection-judgment processing of judging whether or not selection of one image is received in a state that the images are displayed on the display screen; wherein in a case that the computer judges in the selection-judgment processing that the selection of the one image is received, the computer allows in the display-control processing the display screen to display another image in which the one image is rotated by a predetermined angle, instead of the one image, in a state that output aspect of another image included in the images and different from the one image is maintained.
