Abstract
An interpolation unit converts an inputted image with pixel precision into an interpolated image with sub-pixel precision. A brightness/chroma-decomposing unit decomposes the interpolated image into brightness components with sub-pixel precision and the other. An image-processing unit emphasizes components belonging to a specific frequency band of the decomposed brightness components. Edges neither enlarge nor look jaggy. A display result with rich clearness and high quality is obtained.
