Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixed pixel display device that signals in a different format are displayed by resolution converting and hardware for resolution converting is simplified and inexpensive. SOLUTION: The fixed pixel display device having a PDP 8 of the number of vertical valid lines of 360 pieces and displaying a video signal of the format that the number of vertical valid lines are different from the number of vertical valid lines of the PDP 8 is provided with an A/D conversion circuit 2 digital converting the video signal, a resolution conversion circuit 3 enlarging or compressing the digital converted signal in scanning line and resolution converting it to the signal of the number of vertical valid lines of 360 pieces and a rearrangement circuit 5 rearranging the resolution converted signal to the signal suitable for driving the PDP 8. A horizontal driver group 7 writes the rearranged signal in the PDP 8 as the address data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method for providing a three-dimensional moving image from a non-fixed pixel display. In one embodiment, a display having a plurality of pixels is provided, wherein at least one of the pixels is non-fixed and dynamically adjustable. In addition, a pixel controller is provided for controlling at least one non-fixed and dynamically adjustable pixel. The pixel controller for moving at least one of the pixels to a first extent to changing the phase of a first photon and to a second different extent to change the phase of a second photon.

Abstract: A fixed pixel display device has a construction such that the leading-edge and trailing-edge waveforms of a voltage to be applied to a data electrode can be made steep. The fixed pixel display device is provided with scanning electrodes, data electrodes connected to actuation drivers ( 50 ), and light-emitting regions. The actuation drivers ( 50 ) each includes a switching circuit, an output circuit ( 51 ) and a subtraction circuit ( 52 ). The switching circuit is equipped with a first and switching circuits ( 53 ), ( 54 ) and a comparator 55 . When a difference (D m,n −D m-1,n ) between values of data for controlling states of light emission at light-emitting regions composed by the scanning electrodes in m th and (m−1) th rows is not smaller than a first reference value [not greater than a second reference value], the first switching circuit ( 53 ) [the second switching circuit ( 54 )] is maintained in an ON state to apply a first voltage V 1 [a second voltage V 2 ] to the data electrode in an n th column. When the difference is smaller than the first reference value and is greater than the second reference value, the first and second switching circuits ( 53 ), ( 54 ) are maintained in OFF states, respectively.
