Visual processing device, display device, visual processing method, program, and integrated circuit

A visual processing device for performing a visual processing on an inputted image signals and outputting the signal performed by the visual processing, comprising:

• a spatial processing portion operable to perform a predetermined spatial processing on the inputted image signal using pixels surrounding a target pixel and output a processed signal;
• an effect adjustment portion operable to output a correction signal obtained by correcting the processed signal, according to an effect adjustment signal for setting the effect of visual processing;
• and
• a visual processing portion operable to receive the correction signal and the image signal and perform the visual processing on the image signal to output an output signal.
