## Abstract

The display system includes a display system including an image-capturing apparatus including an image-capturing element; an image processing apparatus that performs image processing on the image; and a display apparatus including a display device that displays the image resulting from the image processing. The image processing apparatus includes an image processor that performs the image processing on a predetermined number of line images corresponding to a part of a frame image captured by the image-capturing element, sequentially outputs the image to the display apparatus per the predetermined number of line images, and causes the display apparatus to display the frame image; and a storage device that stores the predetermined number of line images until the frame image is completed. The image processor is configured to perform the image processing including frame unit processing on the predetermined number of line images associated with the frame image to be output.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display system comprising:

an image-capturing apparatus that sequentially captures and outputs a part of a frame image that corresponds to a predetermined number of line images that are to be displayed by the display apparatus;
a storage device that stores the predetermined number of line images until the frame image is completed to store line images of a completed frame image; and
an image processor that is configured to sequentially,
receive the predetermined number of line images,
perform pixel interpolation and then frame unit processing on the predetermined number of line images based on the line images of the completed frame image, and
sequentially output the image per the predetermined number of line images to cause the display apparatus to receive and display the part of the frame image sequentially; and
a display apparatus that displays the image per the predetermined number of line images on which the pixel interpolation and the frame unit processing are performed and on which encoding and decoding are not performed.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

wherein the image processor is configured to perform the image processing including line unit processing on the predetermined number of line images to be output to the display apparatus, and
wherein the line unit processing includes one or more of gradation correction and color correction by using the data of the completed frame image.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1,
wherein the frame unit processing includes one or more of distortion correction, auto exposure, and auto white balance of the image by using the data of the completed frame image.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1,
wherein the display apparatus includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix of a row direction and a column direction, and
