1. A picture output device comprising:
- (A) input means at which a first picture signal of horizontal scanning repeated n times within the vertical scanning period, a second picture signal of horizontal scanning repeated m (m>
n) times within the vertical scanning period and a different aspect ratio from that of said first picture signal, a third picture signal of horizontal scanning repeated kn times (where k is 2 or higher an integer) within the vertical scanning period and an equal aspect ratio to that of said first picture signal can enter;
(B) scanning converting means receptive of said first picture signal inputted from said input means for producing an output representing that the number of times the horizontal scanning is repeated within the vertical scanning period is converted to k×
n;
(C) display means capable of displaying a picture based on the picture signal; and
(D) display operation control means for selectively supplying said second picture signal, said third picture signal and said converted first picture signal by said scanning converting means to said display means, and for controlling the display operation of said display means in accordance with the number of times the horizontal scanning is repeated within the vertical scanning period of the supplied one of said picture signals.

Abstract
A picture output device of the present invention receives inputs in the form of a first picture signal with n horizontal scanning lines within the vertical scanning period or a second picture signal with m (m>n) horizontal scanning lines within the vertical scanning period, wherein the first picture signal after received is converted in the number of lines within the vertical scanning period to m, and a picture based on either one of the thus-converted first picture signal and the second picture signal is displayed.
