    Abstract: PURPOSE: To perform conversion to signals for stabilizing a processing in a PLL at all times even when the different kinds of composite synchronizing signals are inputted. CONSTITUTION: In a horizontal synchronization gate signal generation circuit 34, corresponding to characteristics inside a vertical synchronizing signal area, horizontal synchronization gate signals SHG for which a prescribed margin is added to the front and back of pulse signals obtained by the composite synchronizing signals CSH, cycle data and pulse width data, etc., are generated or the horizontal synchronization gate signals SHG for which the margin on a front side is canceled are generated inside the vertical synchronizing signal area recognized by vertical gate signals SVG. The horizontal synchronization gate signals SHG generated in such a manner are inputted to the second input terminal of an AND circuit 30 and ANDed with the composite synchronizing signals CSH inputted to a first input terminal and thus, horizontal synchronizing signals are surely obtained even inside the vertical synchronizing signal area.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent the quality deterioration of images at different half-tone levels caused by the addition of a horizontal line or vertical column by providing an M-bit signal generating means and a means which supplies first and second sets of M-bit signals to a display device of a specific half-tone level. CONSTITUTION: The display system is provided with a means which generates first and second sets of M-bit signals respectively composed of PXQ pieces of signals and supplies the first and second sets of M-bit signals to an LCD device 25 at a 2M half-tone level. When operations are started from a picture element position (0, 0), a controller 12 first resets registers 1 and 4, an X counter 27, and Y counters 28 and 35. In this case, the controller 12 operates an odd column discriminating circuit 29, a line pattern generating circuit 36, and a comparator circuit 37, because the horizontal line of the LCD device 25 is added, namely, inserted. Therefore, the problem of image lines caused by dither tables 6-8 can be solved.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To avoid errors due to jitters, delays or the like in separating and taking out synchronizing signals from image signals to which synchronizing signals are added. CONSTITUTION: Sync-on-green signals are taken out from a branch line 56 branched on the way of a signal line 54 which connects an output terminal of a video amplifier 36 to an A/D converter 42, and are connected to an input terminal on the positive side of a comparator 58. It means that a voltage that is amplified by the video amplifier 36 and corresponds to luminance signal shifted by an offset voltage is inputted in an input terminal on the positive side of the comparator 58. On the other hand, to an input terminal on the negative side of the comparator 58 is inputted a threshold voltage for detecting falls of the above-mentioned synchronous signals. When a voltage corresponding to image signals becomes lower than the threshold voltage, the comparator 58 judges that synchronizing signals are detected and outputs a low level (L) signal.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To load the large quantity of screen attribute data by reading the screen attribute data during a horizontal display period, setting them in a register with the use of a DMA function, and preventing character data from being displayed during the horizontal display period. CONSTITUTION:A bus controller 15 accesses a DMA row starting address in a row table area by a row table address signal in the last horizontal fly-back interval during a horizontal scanning fly-back interval. According to an accessed DMA row starting address, a DMA row in a display data area 9 is read in the horizontal display interval continuously after the horizontal fly-back interval. The screen attribute data on the read DMA row are supplied to the buffer of the controller 15, and supplied to a DMA controller 17 of a display controller 16 by a prescribed timing signal. The controller 17 DMA-transfered the set data and pallet data out of the supplied data respectively to an I/O register 18 and to the memory of a pallet mechanism 19.
