Abstract

A display for displaying an image on the basis of input image data includes an image adjusting unit configured to perform adjustment processing on the input image data and an image detecting unit configured to detect a first image data segment matching a predetermined condition in the input image data. The image detecting unit performs the adjustment processing on the basis of the first image data segment.

Claims

1. A display for displaying an image on the basis of input image data, the display comprising:

an image adjusting unit configured to perform adjustment processing on a displayed image on the basis of the input image data; and

an image detecting unit configured to detect a first image data segment matching a predetermined detection condition in the input image data,

wherein the image adjusting unit is configured to perform the adjustment processing on the basis of the first image data segment.

2. The display according to claim 1, further comprising:

a first setting unit configured to set the detection condition,

wherein the image detecting unit is configured to detect an image data segment matching the detection condition in the input image data, the detected image data segment functioning as the first image data segment.

3. The display according to claim 2, wherein the detection condition includes at least one of a condition regarding an image resolution, a condition regarding a frame rate, a condition regarding a specification of an area of the image, and a condition regarding a specification of a specific image.

4. The display according to claim 2, further comprising:

a second setting unit configured to set an activation condition for the adjustment processing performed by the image adjusting unit.

5. The display according to claim 4, wherein the activation condition includes at least one of a time when a mode of performing the adjustment processing is set, a time when a state in which an image is not displayed starts, a time when a state in which a black image is displayed starts, and a time when power is turned on to the display.

6. A display system comprising:

a display according to claim 4;

and

an image data generating device configured to input the image data to the display.

7. The display system according to claim 6, wherein the image data generating device includes an image data creating unit configured to create image data for the adjustment processing.

8. A display system comprising:

a display according to claim 2;

and

an image data generating device configured to input the image data to the display.

9. The display system according to claim 8, wherein the image data generating device includes an image data creating unit configured to create image data for the adjustment processing.

10. The display according to claim 1, further comprising:

a second setting unit configured to set an activation condition for the adjustment processing performed by the image adjusting unit.

11. The display according to claim 10, wherein the activation condition includes at least one of a time when a mode of performing the adjustment processing is set, a time when a state in which an image is not displayed starts, a time when a state in which a black image is displayed starts, and a time when power is turned on to the display.

12. A display system comprising:

a display according to claim 10;

and

an image data generating device configured to input the image data to the display.

13. The display system according to claim 12, wherein the image data generating device includes an image data creating unit configured to create image data for the adjustment processing.

14. A display system comprising:

a display according to claim 1;

and

an image data generating device configured to input the image data to the display.

15. The display system according to claim 14, wherein the image data generating device includes an image data creating unit configured to create image data for the adjustment processing.

16. A method for adjusting an image in a display for displaying an image on the basis of input image data, the method comprising:

an adjusting step of performing adjustment processing on a displayed image on the basis of the input image data; and

a detecting step of detecting a first image data segment matching a predetermined detection condition in the input image data,

wherein the adjusting step performs the adjustment processing on the basis of the first image data segment.

17. A program for adjusting an image, the program making a computer section of a display for displaying an image on the basis of input image data execute:

an adjusting step of performing adjustment processing on a displayed image on the basis of the input image data; and

a detecting step of detecting a first image data segment matching a predetermined detection condition in the input image data,

wherein the adjusting step performs the adjustment processing on the basis of the first image data segment.
