Abstract: The present invention relates to a video signal transmission device and the like that can support a variety of system specifications. The device includes a packer unit, an encoder unit, and a serializer. The packer unit generates, from a video signal of one or more pixels, a plurality of block signals having a packet configuration of size corresponding to the number of pixels and the number of tone bits of a color signal constituting a video signal. At this time, a control signal including a pulse having a width corresponding to the number of pixels and the number of tone bits is also generated. The encoder unit applies encoding processing having encoding efficiencies that are different between a first period and a second period of a control signal that are distinguished depending on existence or non-existence of a pulse to the block signals.

Abstract: This embodiment relates to a clock data recovering apparatus capable of improving consecutive identical digits (CID) resistance. The clock data recovering apparatus includes a clock generating apparatus. The clock generating apparatus includes a signal selection unit, a phase detection unit, a phase control unit, a selection unit, a phase delay unit, a time measurement unit, and a phase selection unit. The phase delay unit includes a plurality of delay elements. The phase selection unit selectively outputs an output signal of any one of the plurality of delay elements as a feedback clock. The phase detection unit detects a phase relation between an edge signal and the feedback clock. The phase control unit outputs a control signal to control a signal selection operation by the phase selection unit such that a phase difference detected by the phase detection unit decreases, to the phase selection unit.

Abstract: A special-code encoding circuit generates a first special code to be added to a video signal and a second special code to replace a synchronous signal. A multiplex circuit multiplexes the video signal and first and second special codes. An encoding circuit for code conversion performs 8B/10B encoding. A parallel/serial conversion circuit converts parallel data to serial data (bit stream signal). A light emission circuit and a light emission device transmit the bit stream signal as a light signal.
