An object of the invention is to suppress degradation in image quality of a liquid crystal display device which performs display by field sequential method and to reduce power consumption of a backlight. The highest brightness of a first color light in a pixel region is detected. Gamma correction is performed so that transmittance of a pixel of the region displaying the highest brightness of the first color light is set to maximum and transmittance of other pixel of the region is decreased in accordance with lowering of the first color light intensity, and the region is irradiated with the highest brightness of the first color light. Similarly, a second color light is irradiated in another region concurrently with irradiation of the first color, whereby input of an image signal and lighting of the backlight are performed simultaneously in every region of the pixel portion.

A display device capable of switching a screen between a display in the vertical direction and a display in a horizontal direction. The scanning direction of a first gate signal line driver circuit is perpendicular to that of a source signal line driver circuit, and the scanning direction of a second gate signal line driver circuit is perpendicular to that of the first gate signal line driver circuit. In a normal display, the vertical scanning of a screen is performed by the first gate signal line driver circuit. Meanwhile, in the case of switching between the display in the vertical direction and the display in the horizontal direction, the vertical scanning of the screen is performed by the second gate signal line driver circuit. The screen is driven by a field sequential method and a pixel is not divided into RGB; therefore, switching of the display direction can be facilitated.

In the digital γ correction section (21), an analog gamma value for the 3D display is set to be larger than an analog gamma value for the 2D display. This makes it possible to display a high-quality display with no crosstalk when carrying out a 3D display by a frame sequential method.

Method of reconstructing a stochastic realization, continuous or discrete, resulting from a random function representing a numerical model, that can be representative of a porous heterogeneous medium such as an underground reservoir. It is based on identification, for a given realization, of a random function and of a set of random numbers allowing, from a given geostatistical simulator, to reconstruct the reference realization. The reconstruction techniques proposed are either general or specific to a type of geostatistical simulator. They concern the sphere of optimization, relaxation, filtering and sequential approaches. The reconstruction method allows to estimate a set of random numbers for regenerating the reference realization, this reference realization can then be locally or globally modified, by gradual deformation, so as to better reproduce newly acquired dynamic data (production data for example). Application: notably oil reservoir development for example.

Robust methods are developed to provide bounds and probability distributions for the locations of objects as well as for associated variables that affect the accuracy of the location such as the positions of stations, the measurements, and errors in the speed of signal propagation. Realistic prior probability distributions of pertinent variables are permitted for the locations of stations, the speed of signal propagation, and errors in measurements. Bounds and probability distributions can be obtained without making any assumption of linearity. The sequential methods used for location are applicable in other applications in which a function of the probability distribution is desired for variables that are related to measurements.
