Patent ID: 8379997

Claim:
An image signal processing device that outputs an image signal to a liquid crystal display device after processing image data of each frame of the image signal, the device comprising: an encoding part to which the image data of each frame of the image signal is input, and which encodes the image data and outputs encoded image data, which is the image data that is encoded; a delay part to which the encoded image data output from the encoding part is input, and which outputs the encoded image data after delaying the data by a period of time corresponding to one frame; a difference calculation part to which the encoded image data output from the encoding part is input and at the same time, to which the encoded image data output from the delay part is input, and which calculates a difference between these two pieces of the encoded image data and outputs the difference; a decoding part that decodes the encoded image data output from the delay part and outputs decoded image data, which is the image data that is decoded; a quantization error determination part that determines the magnitude of a quantization error at the time of encoding in the encoding part based on the encoded image data output from the delay part; and a corrected image data output part to which the image data input to the encoding part, the decoded image data output from the decoding part, the value of the difference output from the difference calculation part, and the determination result by the quantization error determination part are input, and which acquires corrected image data based on these data, value and result and outputs the corrected image data that is acquired to the liquid crystal display device, wherein the corrected image data output part: outputs the image data input to the encoding part as the corrected image data when the difference output from the difference calculation part is equal to or less than a predetermined value; and determines a basic correction value from the image data input to the encoding part and the decoded image data output from the decoding part, reduces the basic correction value by a value in accordance with the magnitude of the quantization error determined by the quantization error determination part to acquire a modified correction value, and outputs the image data input to the encoding part, to which the modified correction value is added, as the corrected image data when the difference output from the difference calculation part is greater than the predetermined value.
