Abstract

A display apparatus including a display having an upper display part and a lower display part, comprises a frame memory for storing therein the video image data at a rate of N frames/sec and supplying the stored video image data twice to each of the upper display part and the lower display part to write the video image data into the display at a rate of 2N frames/sec, wherein while the video image data of the (I+1)th frame are written in the upper display part as the first time, the video image data of Ith frame preceding by one frame to the (I+1)th frame is written in the lower display part as the second time, and while the video image data of (I+1)th frame are written in the upper display part as the second time, the video image data of the (I+1)th frame are written in the lower display part as the first time.

Claims

1. A display apparatus for displaying a video image data on a display having an upper display part and a lower display part, comprising:

a frame memory for storing therein the video image data at a storing rate of N frames/sec and supplying the stored video image data twice to each of the upper display part and the lower display part to write the video image data into the display at a rate of 2N frames/sec,

wherein while the video image data of the (I+1)th frame are written in the upper display part as the first time, the video image data of Ith frame which precedes by one frame to the (I+1)th frame is written in the lower display part as the second time, and while the video image data of (I+1)th frame are written in the upper display part as the second time, the video image data of the (I+1)th frame are written in the lower display part as the first time.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the frame memory includes a first and a second frame memories in each of which storing rate for the video image data is the same as a read-out rate for the video image data.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein each of the first and the second frame memories are so configured that the upper and the lower display data are independently read-out.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the video image data are stored in the first and the second frame memories alternately, and the video image data in the first and the second frame memories are independently read-out and supplied to the upper display part and the lower display part alternately.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein writing the video image data into the lower screen part is started at the highest position of the lower display part in subsequent to completion of writing the video image data into the lowest position of the upper display part.

6. A display method for the display apparatus for displaying a video image data on display having an upper display part and a lower display part the apparatus including:

a frame memory for storing the video image data at a rate of N frames/sec and for supplying the stored video image data twice to each of the upper display part and the lower display part to write the video image data into the display at a rate of 2N frames/sec,

the method comprising;

a first step in which, while the video image data of the (I+1)th frame from the frame memory are written into the upper display part as the first time, the video image data of the Ith frame which precedes by one frame to the (I+1)th frame are written into the lower display part as the second time, and

a second step in which, while the video image data of the (I+1)th frame supplied from the frame memory are written into the upper display part as the second time, the video image data of the (I+1)th frame are written into the lower display part as the first time.
