Abstract: Noise suppression performance is enhanced by performing appropriate noise suppression suitable for an environment of noise. Noise dictionary data read out from a noise database unit on the basis of installation environment information including information regarding a type of noise, and an orientation between a sound reception point and a noise source is acquired. Then, noise suppression processing is performed on a voice signal obtained by a microphone arranged at the sound reception point, using the acquired noise dictionary data.

Abstract: A change-information obtaining unit determines a pixel having a rapid decrease in luminance from an input video signal. A light-emitting-region determination unit determines whether or not the pixel having a rapid decrease in luminance is a light emitting pixel. When the area of a region formed by light emitting pixels is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the light-emitting-region determination unit notifies a drive signal correction unit of the address of the region. The drive signal correction unit corrects a drive signal so that the luminance of the region at the notified address can be lower than that obtained without correction, and generates a display frame.
