Abstract:
A portable display apparatus for displaying, based on a preselected standard, color data output from an image pickup device having pixels arranged in accordance with color filters respectively assigned to three primary colors R, G and B, said portable display apparatus comprising:a mode selector for selecting either one of a still picture mode for displaying a single high quality picture by using the color data output from the pixels of the image pickup device and a movie mode for displaying a plurality of pictures by using said color data; a first synchronizing and interpolating circuit for adjusting, in the movie mode, a timing in such a relation that the color data fed from the image pickup device and color data to be output are synchronized by an integral multiple, and interpolating void pixels intervening between the pixels of said color data fed to thereby generate a plurality of lines; a memory having a capacity greater than a single frame for temporarily storing, in the still picture mode, the color data fed from the image pickup device; and a color data interpolating circuit for interpolating the color data output from said memory, wherein the color data output from said first synchronizing and interpolating circuit or said color data interpolating circuit are fed to a display while being synchronized also to a vertical timing different from said relation for synchronization.
