Abstract:
1. An image displaying device having a rate converting portion that interpolates an interpolation image signal between frames or fields of an input image signal to convert the number of frames or fields of the input image signal, further comprising: a determining portion that determines a content genre the input image signal belongs to based on genre information acquired from broadcast data, a medium, or a network, wherein the rate converting portion includes an interpolation image generating portion that applies a motion compensation processing to the input image signal to generate an interpolation image signal based on motion vector information between frames or fields of the input image signal, and the image signal generated by applying the motion compensation processing is not interpolated by the motion compensation processing when the genre determined by the determining portion is movie or animation associated with a moving image likely to have the same consecutive images in a plurality of frames or fields, wherein the rate converting portion inserts an image signal to which the motion compensation processing has not been applied between frames or fields of the input image signal to convert the number of frames or fields of the input image signal when the genre determined by the determining portion is movie or animation.
