Patent ID: 7408587

Claim:
An image conversion device, which converts image data from dot sequential data to color field sequential data, comprising: an image storing unit which has a first buffer area for storing either one of odd and even fields and a second buffer area for storing the other field of said odd and even fields, said odd fields consisting of odd-numbered lines of said dot sequential data, said even fields consisting of even-numbered lines of said dot sequential data; a data transfer control circuit which carries out such controlling operations that, during a period in which said dot sequential data are written in one of said first and second buffer areas, pixel data of said even field or said odd field stored in the other buffer area are read out in a color field sequential format; an over-sampling circuit for over-sampling color field sequential data read from said image storing unit; and a second color space conversion circuit for carrying out color-space conversion on color field sequential data outputted from said over-sampling circuit.
