Image display device, image processing circuit, and image processing method
To provide a processing method for reducing motion blur while increasing resolution. By performing a super-resolution process, a resolution-increased image is obtained from an input image in multiple frames. By performing an enlargement process, an enlarged image is obtained from the input image in one frame. A high-frequency image is obtained by subtracting the enlarged image from the resolution-increased image. A high spatial frequency-emphasized image is obtained by adding the high-frequency image to the resolution-increased image. The enlarged image and high spatial frequency-emphasized image are displayed alternately every half frame.
1. An image display device comprising:

a switching circuit that alternately outputs an emphasized enlarged image from the first enlargement circuit and the second enlarged image from the second enlargement circuit; and
a display module that displays an image output from the switching circuit.
