Abstract:
1. A method for converting frames comprising: retrieving from a memory in which successive frames of moving image data are stored as input frames, an odd field of the stored image data and an even field of the stored image data, in each input frame period; mixing the retrieved image data of the odd field of a first frame of the input frame period and image data of the odd field of a successive frame of the input frame period retrieved next at a predetermined mixing ratio to output image data of an odd field in an output frame period; mixing the retrieved image data of the even field of a first frame of the input frame period and image data of the even field of the successive frame of the input frame period retrieved next at a predetermined mixing ratio to output image data of an even field in the output frame period; and changing the mixing ratios for each field in the output frame period.
