Method for providing film image and image display apparatus providing the film image

An image display apparatus for providing a film image, the apparatus comprising:

• a mode controller which determines a scheme of an input image signal and generates a control signal based on the determined scheme of the input image signal;
• an interlaced-to-progressive converter which converts an interlaced input image signal into a progressive image signal according to the control signal to generate a converted progressive image signal;
• a film motion creator which converts a scanning rate of one of a progressive input image signal and the converted progressive image signal to generate an image signal having a selected scanning rate according to the control;
• and
• a film color converter which converts a color characteristic of the image signal having the selected scanning rate to generate an image signal having a color characteristic related to a selected type of a film

A film color conversion apparatus for providing a film image, the apparatus comprising:

• a film energy converter which converts an image signal into a photosensitive energy signal according to a spectral sensitivity characteristic corresponding to a selected type of a film;
• a film tone converter which converts the photosensitive energy signal into a film density unit signal according to tone characteristic corresponding to the selected type of the film;
• a film projection converter which converts the film density unit signal into a driving data value unit signal of display according to a projection parameter;
• and
• a film characteristic parameter register which stores at least one of the spectral sensitivity characteristic parameter, the tone characteristic parameter and the projection parameter.
