In the situation that is used for storing the moving picture screening-mode that moves picture, when the shutter key of operation keys input unit 46, periodically and carry out continuously still image is stored among the DRAM 41, in case and shutter key operation is ended or through special time length, for example after 30 seconds, sequentially with the data compression of a series of still images in jpeg circuit 47, produce that the JPEG that comprises still image is moving to be stored in the flash memory 48 as data file and with it.
In replication mode, controller 42 selectively reads the view data that is stored in the flash memory 48, with with imaging pattern in compress the antipodal mode of the mode of being followed and in jpeg circuit 47, expand selected view data, institute's expanded data remains among the DRAM 41 after through DRAM interface 40, store the content that remains among the DRAM41 by VRAM 11, and from VRAM 11, periodically read view data by coding circuit 10 and be used to produce rgb signal, be used on LCD unit 19, showing.This means, connecting under the situation of exterior monitoring display unit 18 via video output terminal 17, will output to monitor scope unit 18 by the vision signal that coding circuit 10 produces by wiring.
If selected view data is not still image but moves picture, then according to time cycle ground and carry out duplicating of the single still image that constitutes the data selected file continuously, and when duplicating of all still images finished, only duplicate the still image data that are positioned at moving picture data head, this remains unchanged till providing next copy command.
Fig. 2 illustrates the structure of the coding circuit 10 in the output signal generation unit that is contained in display pannel.
Because panel of LCD in this embodiment is of a size of the about 1-2 inch of diagonal, and the pixel quantity on the liquid crystal panel correspondingly seldom, and the pixel that waits other specification to constitute based on VGA, NTSC (national television systems committee) needs suitably thinning dredging.
In Fig. 2, in order to realize that logical picture shows that (by the real-time demonstration of the image of CCD33 picked-up) is used for monitoring during imaging pattern, in VRAM 11, sequentially store DID (yuv data), read by Horizontal number of pixels energy converter 12 then such as the brightness/aberration system of 480 vertical pixel * 640 horizontal pixel structure of VGA base.
Horizontal number of pixels energy converter 12 is carried out associative operations or interpolation are increased to each horizontal line of the horizontal sweep circulation corresponding digital view data that is used for the NTSC system that uses with Japan with the quantity with pixel 11/10 times quantity of pixel quantity.
In addition, for the interlacing scan with NTSC adapts, the odd lines sheet (field) that two (field) view data of Horizontal number of pixels energy converter 12 outputs, a slice (field) constitute for the view data by odd horizontal scan lines, and the even lines sheet (field) that another sheet (field) constitutes for the view data by the even number horizontal scan line.
Correspondingly, Horizontal number of pixels energy converter 12 was the cycle DID in 240 vertical pixel * 704 horizontal pixel structure of brightness/aberration system (YUV) to be outputed to video encoder 13 and liquid crystal encoder 14 with 1/60 second.
In the time will being connected in video output terminal 17 by the electric wire (not shown) such as the NTSC of CRT TV receiver or LCD TV receiver base monitor scope unit 18, monitor scope unit 18 is placed on the view data that obtains on the panel.
Comprise TFT (thin-film transistor) liquid crystal panel with 240 scan electrode * 352 signal electrode structures of NTSC base and the LCD unit 19 of its drive circuit, use is from liquid crystal encoder 14 direct transmission primary DIDs, be used to respond the various timing signals that are used for LCD and come carries out image to show, the wherein said various timing signals that are used for LCD be based on the standard time clock that produces by video timing oscillator 15 by liquid crystal regularly oscillating unit 20 produce.
The operation of the circuit of same structure will be described below.
At first, the layout of supposing to constitute electrode in the panel of LCD of LCD unit 19 and pixel as shown in Figure 3A.In this case, X1 to X240 is by drain driver, and is not shown, drives drain electrode (scanning) electrode that is used to scan, and Y1 to Y352 is for driving source electrode (signal) electrode that is used to show by source electrode driver 19a according to DID.
In this case, adjacent one another are in vertical direction and be connected to R, the G of the same signal electrode that drives by source electrode driver 19a, each round dot that is moved away from each other half of B round dot (color elements).
In addition, suppose to provide the nominal widely used layout with " delta array ", three R, the G, the B round dot that wherein constitute by a pixel (or image string) C that is shown in dotted line among Fig. 3 A form the triangle that crosses two row.
Suppose to enter brightness/aberration system base image that the quantity of the data pixel in the horizontal direction of liquid crystal encoder 14 increases and has 240 vertical pixel * 704 horizontal pixel structure from Horizontal number of pixels energy converter 12, and hypothesis acquisition view data as shown in Fig. 3 B the primary colours DID that this structured coding is become same dot structure after.
Like this, if in display panels, adopt the delta array, and the quantity of signal electrode is half of horizontal pixel quantity that is input to the view data in the liquid crystal encoder 14, then liquid crystal encoder 14 produces the primary colours DID, wherein sparse (by sampling) element of same color adjacent one another are in the horizontal direction in two corresponding lines and directly outputs to LCD unit 19 with the data that produced so that depart from 1.5 pixels each other.In Fig. 3 B, get up to show actual selected color of pixel composition with circle.
For example, suppose, in two row corresponding to signal electrode X1 in the liquid crystal panel and X2, obtain view data, (X1, Y1) and as another round dot R of the adjacent round dot of same color composition (X2 Y3) describes by round dot R.
With round dot R (X1, Y1) the round dot G of same relatively signal electrode (X2, Y1) round dot that is shifted to the right half.In addition, because the quantity of all signal electrodes is half of quantity that is input to the horizontal pixel of the view data in the liquid crystal encoder 14, and owing to read the data of a round dot color component in two pixels need be from view data adjacent one another are in the horizontal direction, so the row from Fig. 3 B in the represented digital picture number be 1 with row number be R composition in the right side even number of selecting in two image string data of 1 and 2 in the view data 2, get up to illustrate with circle, in liquid crystal panel, be shown as then round dot R (X1, Y1).
Similarly, as (X2, Y3) described data select that row number is 2, row number are the R composition in 5 the view data, get up to illustrate with circle by the round dot R in the liquid crystal panel.
Like this, when in considering two graph data pixels adjacent one another are on the horizontal direction among Fig. 3 B, selecting pixel and considering that the delta array is selected the color component of corresponding round dot, infer that liquid crystal encoder 14 produces its result by selecting primary colours DID pixel, so that the element of the same color that level is adjacent each other can depart from 1.5 pixels each other in corresponding two row.
Therefore, because liquid crystal encoder 14 does not have local deformation and very natural suitably selecting to export rgb signal after the pixel data that shows on the liquid crystal panel that is used for arranging in widely used delta so the view data that shows is compared with the data that provided.
And, as mentioned above, LCD unit 19 is made of liquid crystal panel, wherein, the quantity of signal electrode (quantity of signal electrode is half of pixel quantity on the horizontal direction in the vision signal) is based on the quantity of the horizontal pixel in the vision signal of the NTSC system that uses in video signal system after video encoder 13.Use has the VRAM 11 of VGA base image string structure, the quantity of pixel on the horizontal direction is converted to equably the quantity of the pixel on the horizontal direction of NTSC video signal system by Horizontal number of pixels energy converter 12, then this result is divided into 14 two signal systems of video encoder 13 and liquid crystal encoder.
Like this, a VRAM 11 realizes this circuit by only utilizing, and wherein VRAM11 is the video memory of ordinary constitution, and this farthest reduces coding circuit size as a whole.
In addition, will directly output to LCD unit 19 by the DID that liquid crystal encoder 14 produces and be used for showing, and not be converted to analogue data, and this removes D/A converter or macrocircuit from, be used for further reducing the size of encoder.
Quantity is not limited to the formation pixel quantity of view data illustrated among Fig. 2, Fig. 3 A or Fig. 3 B, and they can also be the quantity in the round parentheses among Fig. 1 or other quantity.
Also have, can be with the quantity of its horizontal pixel the DID of the brightness/aberration system identical with the quantity of liquid crystal panel signal electrode be input in the liquid crystal encoder 14, be used for being used on LCD unit 19, showing by producing the new pixel that departs from 1.5 pixels in liquid crystal encoder 14 interpolation.
If the liquid crystal panel of LCD unit 19 does not have the delta pel array, the DID of brightness/aberration system that the quantity of its horizontal pixel is identical with the quantity of liquid crystal panel signal electrode is input in the liquid crystal encoder 14, be used to convert to the primary colours data of same pixel quantity, and obtain this purpose during the respective color composition in selectively reading the pixel that is converted, this has simplified the formation of liquid crystal encoder 14.
If monitor scope unit 18 is compatible mutually with numeral input (digital broadcasting), then need to omit D/A converter 16 so that can the output digital video signal.
