Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a program for displaying an image of a cathode ray tube TV on the frontmost surface of the screen of current video equipment (TVs and monitors).
Background Art
[0002] Although the performance of conventional video equipment has improved, due to the frameless design, the images have become less prominent. Also, because the picture quality has become clearer, unnecessary textures and materials are transmitted to the viewers. Moreover, since the screen is no longer made of glass, the sense of depth in the images has been lost. As a result, movies and games cannot be enjoyed in the nostalgic atmosphere of the past.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] This had the following drawbacks. (a) When viewing images on current video equipment, the images were not prominent, unnecessary textures and materials were clearly visible, and there was no sense of depth in the images. This was noticeable and caused a sense of discomfort. (b) When wanting to feel the atmosphere of images on old video equipment, one had to deliberately take out or repair old video equipment. This was an extremely laborious task. The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] Display an image of dots (2) and gloss (3) in front of the image, etc., and display an image of a frame (1) so that the image, etc. containing the dots and gloss fits within it. This invention is a program for displaying images from a cathode ray tube television having the above configuration. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] (i) When you want to experience the atmosphere of old video equipment, you can avoid the trouble of preparing old video equipment. (b) Since it only displays images from a CRT TV, it can be easily used with current video equipment. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0007] [Figure 1] This is a plan view of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is an enlarged view of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the present invention. (1) Prepare an image of the frame of a CRT TV, and make the screen portion of the CRT TV transparent. If the resolution of the video equipment is Full HD, two types of black dots (pixels), (4) and (5), are arranged as shown in Figure 2 to create a dotted image like that of a CRT TV, as shown in (2). For images with dots, make the areas outside the dots transparent. Take a photograph (or draw) of a sofa or similar object to create an image of the glossy surface of a CRT TV, as shown in (3). ("Gloss" refers to what is reflected on the surface of the screen due to light reflection.) When a glossy image is overlaid with a dotted image, the areas where the dots overlap become transparent. Makes a dotted and glossy image semi-transparent. Make the dot's (5) pixel lighter than the (4) pixel. The present invention has the structure described above. When using the present invention, an image of dots (2) and gloss (3) is displayed in front of the image or other image, and a frame (1) is displayed so that the image or other image containing the dots and gloss is contained within it. In this way, the frame (1) creates the effect of the video artwork being framed, the dots (2) create a unique texture and material, and the gloss (3) creates the effect of a glass screen. [Explanation of Symbols]
[0009] 1. Frame, 2. Dot, 3. Glossy, 4. Pixel A, 5. Pixel B
Claims
[Claim 1] An image with dots (2) and gloss (3) is displayed in front of the video or other image, and a frame image (1) is displayed so that the video or other image containing the dots and gloss is contained within it. The present invention relates to a program for displaying images on a cathode ray tube television, comprising the above configuration.
