PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent mis-decision by applying valid/invalid decision processing stably to identification information and control information on the occurrence of signal deterioration. SOLUTION: The decision circuit is provided with a validity decision circuit group 11 that applies decision processing of validity/invalidity of a prescribed element of an identification control signal respectively separately and with a decision result processing circuit 12 that decides validity/invalidity of the entire identification control signal totally. When the element of all the identification control signal that is a decision object is valid, it is decided that the entire identification control signal is valid and in the case that an element decided invalid is in existence among elements of all the identification control signal that are decision objects, a valid item number N is detected based on decision information (j1-jn) of the validity decision circuit group 11 and various processing is conducted in a form with a hysteresis characteristic and the entire identification control signal is invalidated after the element is decided clearly invalid to prevent mis-decision at signal deterioration.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To always and accurately count the scanning line number by prohibiting the input of a horizontal synchronizing signal by outputting a mask signal in a required block corresponding to the output of a counter making a round in one H period and generating an interpolation pulse when no horizontal synchronizing signal is inputted after the elapse of one H period. CONSTITUTION: A synchronous pulse synchronizing with the horizontal synchronizing signal is generated by a synchronizing separator circuit 1 and an edge detection circuit 2, and the counter 5 making a round in one H period counts a clock. In the required block in which a noise is generated based on a count value, a first AND circuit 4 is closed by the output of a mask signal generation circuit 6, and the input of the synchronous pulse to the count 5 is prohibited. When no synchronous pulse is inputted even after the elapse of one H period, an interpolation pulse generation circuit 7 is enabled, and a line counter steps by the interpolation pulse. By employing such constitution, the horizontal scanning line number can always and accurately be counted without being affected by the noise and even when a signal is a discontinuous video signal.

PURPOSE:To correct the level. variance of demodulation output due to jitter of an output signal in the circuit which demodulates a carrier chrominance signal based on the output signal of a digital VCO. CONSTITUTION:The carrier chrominance signal inputted to a color signal input terminal 1 is demodulated in a demodulating circuit 2 by a reference signal (b) for demodulation generated by a sine wave generating circuit 6 based on an output (d) of a digital VCO 9 locked to a burst signal (a) separated by a burst separating circuit 5. A signal f' which is generated by a saw tooth wave generating circuit 10 and corresponds to jitter is used to eliminate the level variance, which occurs in an output (g) of the demodulating circuit 2 based on jitter of the digital VCO 9, by a hue correcting circuit. Consequently, the level variance based on jitter of the digital VCO 9 is eliminated in the output of the hue correcting circuit. The output f' of the saw tooth wave generating circuit 10 may be used to correct the phase of the reference signal (b) for demodulation.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct brightness unevenness of a display device more efficiently. SOLUTION: The display image correcting device forms a reference correction amount table, on the basis of a set of reference two-dimensional correction amount data obtained at a correction point, corresponding to the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of an image. This reference correction amount table is defined as only one made to correspond to one specific level of luminance, without preparing two or more tables made to correspond to two or more levels of luminance. In actual correction, three-dimensional correction amount data are obtained, by making the reference two-dimensional correction amount data read out of the specific luminance proportional linearly or non-linearly to the luminance level of the video signal to be corrected. Then, the video signal is corrected by using these three-dimensional correction amount data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a display device whose screen image is not unpleasant even when the presence of a caption is mis-detected by discriminating the screen image is a standard image or a laterally long image, setting the display mode depending on the shape of the screen image, setting an aspect ratio and the display device in response to the display mode and providing an image not causing black stripes to an upper part of the image in the laterally long image display mode. SOLUTION: An infrared ray signal is fed to a controller 3 from a remote commander 19 via a light receiving section 18 and a display mode is set. A television receiver is provided with a wide screen image discrimination circuit 10. The wide screen image discrimination circuit 10 discriminates whether a received video signal is a standard image screen signal or a wide image screen signal, and in the case of the wide screen image, the circuit 10 discriminates whether or not the screen image is with/without a caption. A discrimination signal from the wide screen image discrimination circuit 10 is fed to the controller 3, which decides the display mode. A setting signal for the display mode is fed to an image screen setting circuit 13 or a deflection circuit 16, by which an aspect ratio and a display position are set.

Thus, the fluctuation of the oscillation frequency caused by output conductance g0 to be changed as the characteristic of an amplifier circuit 2 is reduced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the malfunction of laterally long image discrimination. SOLUTION: The average luminance of video signals forming the upper and lower sections (black band sections) in the image of inputted video signals is found by an upper/lower average luminance operating part 9b, and the difference between the average luminance calculated here and the luminance of video signals corresponding to the black zone of image is calculated by an upper/lower luminance difference operating part 9c. Further, whether the ratio of area, in which this luminance difference is more than a prescribed level, is higher than a prescribed value or not is discriminated by a big luminance difference detecting part 9d and when it is discriminated the ratio of the area having luminance difference more than the prescribed level is higher than the prescribed value, it is judged that the video signal of 4:3 is inputted to a laterally long image discriminating part 9a. Besides, luminance difference between the average luminance and the luminance of video signals forming the central part of image is calculated by a central part luminance difference operating part 9e and whether the ratio of area, in which this luminance difference is less than a prescribed level, is higher than a prescribed value or not is discriminated by a small luminance difference detecting part 9f. When it is judged the luminance difference is less than a prescribed ratio, the discriminating operation of the laterally long image discriminating part 9a is stopped.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a phase locked loop (PLL) in a digital circuit. SOLUTION: A synchronizing signal extracted from a video signal is gated by an AND gate 3 through a separator circuit 1, and the gated synchronizing signal is supplied to a phase comparator circuit 4. This compared output is inputted through a loop filter 5 to an oscillation circuit 6 composed of a counter and this oscillated output is inputted to the phase comparator circuit 4, so that the PLL can be formed. Further a mask signal generating circuit 10 generates that mask signal from the output of this oscillation circuit 6 and a counter 13 counts how many times the synchronizing signals are continuously absent during the period of this mask signal. When this number of times exceeds a prescribed value, the synchronizing signal from the video signal is extracted and corresponding to this signal, the counter consisting of the oscillation circuit is reset. Thus, the stable and speedy PLL and synchronizing separator circuit are constituted.
