Abstract

Un circuit d'évaluation de mouvement (2) émet un signal d'évaluation de mouvement indiquant, pour chaque partie d'une vidéo, s'il s'agit d'une région fixe ou d'une région animée d'un mouvement. Quand le signal d'évaluation de mouvement indique que la région est fixe et quand le signal d'évaluation de mouvement indique que la région est animée d'un mouvement et que la grandeur d'un vecteur de mouvement est inférieure ou égale à une valeur seuil, un circuit de surcharge (6) ne place pas un écran d'affichage à cristaux liquides (200) sous une commande de suralimentation ou réduit la quantité de correction. Quand le signal d'évaluation de mouvement indique que la région est animée d'un mouvement et que la grandeur du vecteur de mouvement est supérieure à la valeur seuil, le circuit de surcharge (6) place l'écran d'affichage à cristaux liquides (200) sous la commande de suralimentation.
