Image display unit
View Patent ↗A image display unit is allowed to reproduce display characteristics substantially equivalent to that obtained with use of a cinema projector, when performing a image display based on a film image signal or an equivalent. The image display unit including: an image insertion section inserting an interpolation frame image into an input video signal as the film image signal or the equivalent; and a display section performing image display based on a video signal where the interpolation frame image is inserted. The image insertion section generates an optimized image as the interpolation frame image in which the insertion time period and the signal level are optimized based on display characteristics to be achieved in a projected image projected with the cinema film by a cinema projector, thereby to insert the optimized image into the input video signal at a position corresponding to a gap between frames of the cinema film.
1. An image display unit comprising:
an image insertion section inserting an interpolation frame image into an input video signal, the input video signal being a film image signal generated based on a cinema film or being an image signal which is captured by a digital cinematography camera and is equivalent to the film image signal; and
a display section performing image display based on a video signal configured by inserting the interpolation frame image into the input video signal,
wherein the image insertion section generates an optimized image as the interpolation frame image in which the insertion time period and the signal level are optimized to reproduce same display characteristics which is to be achieved in a projected image projected with the cinema film by a cinema projector, thereby to insert the optimized image into an insert position in the input video signal, the display characteristics being determined in accordance with vision persistence characteristics of human eyes, the insert position corresponding to a gap between frames of the cinema film.
2. The image display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the optimized image is an image in which the insertion time period and the signal level are optimized to reproduce the same display characteristics which is to be achieved in the projected image projected with the cinema film by the cinema projector during a shutter-close period, the shutter-close period being synchronized with a period between frames in cinema film.
3. The image display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the optimized image is an image in which the insertion time period and the signal level are optimized so that the signal level is black level, and so that the insertion time period is shorter than a shutter-close period of the cinema projector, the shutter-close period corresponding to the gap between frames in cinema film.
4. The image display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the optimized image is an image in which the insertion time period and the signal level are optimized so that the insertion time period is equal to a shutter-close period synchronized with a period between frames in cinema film, and so that the signal level is lower than a signal level of a frame image immediately before a insertion position where the interpolation frame image is to be inserted.
5. The image display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the display section is a display panel of hold type.
