Moving picture decoding display apparatus and method for controlling a video signal's contrast and brightness when a video signal update is detected

Abstract

In a moving picture decoding display apparatus and moving picture decoding display method according to the present invention, moving picture decoder 101 decodes a moving picture signal, RGB matrix manipulation section 103 converts the decoded video signal in YCbCr format into a video signal in RGB format, contrast/brightness adjusting section 104 adjusts the contrast and brightness of the video signal in RGB format, and liquid crystal display module section 110 displays the adjusted video signal on liquid crystal panel 109. At this point, operation control section 105 switches on and off the operation of RGB matrix manipulation section 103 and contrast/brightness adjusting section 104 corresponding to the actual frame rate in moving picture decoder 101, and only when the operation is “on”, the section 105 controls so that the video signal from contrast/brightness adjusting section 104 is stored in video RAM 107 in liquid crystal display module section 110. Thus, since the operation of required video signal processing is switched on and off based on the actual frame rate, it is possible to suppress the power consumption in the entire apparatus.
