Patent ID: 8805157

Claim:
An image reproduction controlling device which generates an image signal corresponding to an image file and supplies the image signal to a liquid crystal display device displaying a video and an image other than the video to reproduce the image file, the image reproduction controlling device comprising: an image switch determining unit which determines whether the image file is switched from a first image file for the video to a second image file for the image other than the video or the image file is switched from the second image file to the first image file, when the image file being displayed is switched; a switching-time frequency changing unit which changes a frame frequency of the image signal corresponding to the image file after the switching to a frequency different from a frame frequency of the image signal corresponding to the image file before the switching, when the image switch determining unit determines that the image file is switched from the first image file to the second image file or the image file is switched from the second image file to the first image file; an image signal supplying unit which supplies the image signal corresponding to the image file after the switching to the liquid crystal display device, after the switching-time frequency changing unit changes the frame frequency; a contrast acquiring unit which acquires the magnitude of a contrast of an image based on the second image file; and a contrast correspondent frequency setting unit which sets the frame frequency of the image signal corresponding to the second image file to a higher frequency as the contrast acquired by the contrast acquiring unit is larger, when the image signal corresponding to the second image file is supplied to the liquid crystal display device.
