Image processor and image processing method
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is an image processor including: a random number sequence generation section adapted to generate a random number sequence; a random number-superimposed luminance variable generation section adapted to generate a random number-superimposed luminance variable by superimposing the random number sequence on a luminance variable; and a random number-superimposed image signal generation section adapted to generate a random number-superimposed image signal by superimposing the random number-superimposed luminance variable on an image signal.
1. An image processor for processing an image signal and outputting the image signal to a liquid crystal panel, comprising:
a random number sequence generation section configured to generate a random number sequence;
a random-number-superimposed luminance variable generation section configured to generate a random-number-superimposed luminance variable by superimposing the random number sequence on a luminance variable; and
a random-number-superimposed image signal generation section configured to generate a random-number-superimposed image signal by superimposing the random-number-superimposed luminance variable on an image signal,
wherein the random number sequence generation section changes a timing of inverting polarity of the random number sequence without changing absolute values of the random number sequence, thereby to generate a state such that a polarity of a starting random number and a polarity of a polarity inversion signal to reverse polarity of liquid crystal are different.
2. The image processor according to claim 1 , wherein
the random number sequence generation section generates and outputs the random number sequence having the same set of numbers every frame.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing unit of a computer, cause the processing unit to perform operations for processing an image signal and outputting the image signal to a liquid crystal panel, the operations comprising:
generating, by the processing unit, a random number sequence;
generating, by the processing unit, a random-number-superimposed luminance variable by superimposing the random number sequence on a luminance variable;
generating, by the processing unit, a random-number-superimposed image signal by superimposing the random-number-superimposed luminance variable on an image signal; and
changing, by the processing unit, a timing of inverting polarity of the random number sequence without changing absolute values of the random number sequence, thereby to generate a state such that a polarity of a starting random number and a polarity of a polarity inversion signal to reverse polarity of the liquid crystal are different.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 3 , the operations further comprising:
generating and outputting, by the processing unit, the random number sequence having the same set of numbers every frame.
