A delay memory temporarily holds the second frame data and outputs third frame data. Interpolation unit generates interpolated frame data located between adjacent frames in the second frame data by using the second frame data and the third frame data. A second quantization unit quantizes data of each pixel constituting the first frame data by a second logical formula different from the first logical formula to generate a fourth frame data with a predetermined number of lower bits deleted. A frame memory temporarily holds the fourth frame data and the interpolated frame data, and outputs the fourth frame data and the interpolated frame data alternately at a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A video control device for a hold-type display, comprising: a data acquisition unit configured to acquire first frame data having a first frame rate;
