Patent ID: 8358373

Claim:
An image displaying device, comprising: a rate converting unit configured to interpolate an interpolation image signal between images of an input image signal made up of a time series of images, to convert a number of images of the input image signal; and a determining unit configured to determine that two consecutive images of the input image signal are the same when a correlation between a first image of the two consecutive images, having an index n−1 (n is an arbitrary natural number), and a second image of the two consecutive images, having an index n, is larger than a predetermined amount, wherein the rate converting unit includes an interpolation image generating unit that applies a motion compensation processing to the input image signal to generate an interpolation image signal based on motion vector information between images of the input image signal, and interpolation of the image signal generated by applying the motion compensation processing is not performed at least between the image having the index n and an image having an index n+1 when the two consecutive images are determined to be the same by the determining unit.
