Abstract: PURPOSE:To attain the display easily understood, with excellent identification performance and appealing sensitivity of person comparatively strongly by displaying a character in color in a screen of a display device. CONSTITUTION:A character 33A indicates a date display representing June 30, 1990 based on calendar information in a pattern 34 on an LCD 31 in which characters 33A, 33B by a character signal S5 are superimposed onto a picture 32 by a video signal S6, and since the weekday of June 30, 1990 is Saturday, the character 33A is displayed in blue. The user easily confirms the weekday to be Saturday because of display in blue. When the day is Sunday, the date is displayed in red. Thus, it is very useful to display weekdays in different colors.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily seek a specific object by providing a color signal selection means which detects a color signal of a color represented by a designated color signal and outputs the detected signal among color signals generated from an image pickup signal based on a comparison result signal to compare the designated color signal and the image pickup color signal and a display device displaying a picture by an output color signal of the color signal selection means to the system. CONSTITUTION:A designated color signal CR is compared with a chroma signal C generated by an image pickup signal by a phase comparator 5, from which a phase comparison result signal SO is outputted. The comparison result signal SO as understood from a waveform diagram is a high level signal when the phase of the chrominance signal C and the phase of the designated color signal are in phase (phase corresponding to a red color in both phases) and is a low level signal in other case. The comparison result signal SO is fed to a color LCD signal processing circuit 6 and a control input terminal of an output buffer 7. When the comparison result signal SO fed to the control input terminal is at a low level, all RGB signals are outputted, and when the comparison result signal SO is at a high level on the other hand, only the R signal is outputted.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To always obtain a picture easy to see by controlling the contrast on a liquid crystal display device and/or the intensity of emitted light of a back light by a control circuit in accordance with a time count signal indicating the cumulative power supply time. CONSTITUTION:A time counting circuit 27 which outputs a time count signal S1 corresponding to the cumulative power supply time of a view finder and a control circuit 28 which controls the contrast of a liquid crystal display device 1 and/or the intensity of emitted light of a back light 4 are provided. The control circuit 28 controls the contrast on the liquid crystal display device 1 and/or the intensity of emitted light of the back light in accordance with the time count signal S1 which is counted by the time counting circuit 27 and indicates the cumulative power supply time. Thus, the degradation in brightness of the back light 4 or contrast on the liquid crystal display device 1 is automatically compensated though they are degraded by the secular change, and the picture easy to see is always obtained.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily adjust a picture in a view finder to the picture suited to one's taste by changing the characteristic of the picture in a display by a remote commander. CONSTITUTION:A remote commander 31 is provided in order to set the value of an operation signal SN from the outside of a view finder main body, and a remote control signal SR like a digital signal according to the intensity of lights is outputted from a light emitting part 34. Thus, an electronic volume constituting an LCD controller 23 is adjusted, a picture signal is outputted from this LCD controller, and a DC/AC invertor 21 is controlled. Then, the characteristic of the picture on a LCD 1 is changed by the picture signal, the contrast of a liquid crystal itself is changed, and the brightness of a back light 4 is changed by a pulse signal P1.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To always obtain a pattern easy to see by setting an intensity of an illuminance light of a back light based on a temperature signal representing the temperature around the back light from a temperature sensor at application of power and a clock signal representing continuous non-stimulate time and accumulation stimulate time of the back light from a counter circuit. CONSTITUTION:A counter circuit 36 detects a DC voltage from a DC/DC converter 27, counts the production time and stop time of the DC voltage and gives them to an input interface 35 as a count data D1. The production time of the DC voltage represents the accumulated time and the stop time represents the continuous non-stimulating time. An input interface 35 is provided with a tri-state buffer IC and an A/D converter or the like and a luminance signal S1 is fed to the input interface 35 in addition to a count data D1 and a temperature signal S2 from the temperature sensor 38 is fed to the interface 35. A microcomputer 39 acts like a back light control circuit and a relay 30 is changed over through a relay driver 40 in response to the data.
