Patent ID: 8452119

Claim:
An image processing device processing image data provided from outside and outputting the image data to a hold type display device, the image processing device comprising a correction processing section performing a correction process to correct a pixel value in the image data for each pixel through performing a spatial LPF (low pass filter) process on the image data in a frame to be displayed in the display device according to a magnitude of a motion vector in the image data, further comprising a signal characteristics detection section which detects, from the image data and based on the magnitude of the motion vector, predetermined signal characteristics information to be used in the correction process, wherein the signal characteristics detection section detects the changing edge portion in the image data based on the magnitude of the motion vector, and detects minimum and maximum pixel values within a predetermined correction area of the pixel data as well as positions of pixels having the minimum and maximum pixel values, as the predetermined signal characteristics information.
