Imaging display method and imaging display device

An imaging display device comprising:

• a pixel shift unit that optically shifts a display position of an image display unit by a shifting operation,
• an imaging element that photoelectrically concerts optical image;
• a readout control unit that acquires image signals of a plurality of fields, having different readout positions, from the imaging element, depending on the display positions;
• a system control unit that controls the display position by the shifting operation and a readout position of the imaging element and displays the image signals on the image display unit at a timing synchronized with the shifting operation;
• an image output unit for converting the image signals of the plurality of fields into image signals having a pixel count of the image display unit, wherein the imaging element has more pixels than the pixel count of the image display unit;
• wherein when the display position is in an initial position, the readout control unit reads out an image signal of a select field by sub-sampling pixels of the imaging element by a select interval;
• and
• when a display element is in a position shifted to a select direction from the initial position, the readout control unit reads out an image signal of another select field by shifting a readout position of each pixel on the imaging element to the select direction and sub-sampling pixels of the imaging element by the select interval in order for the readout control unit to acquire image signals of a plurality of fields.
