An on-screen display (OSD) signal generating circuit which provides an
analog output is utilized for realizing on-screen display of a digital
display device and providing stable operations and signals. An OSD signal
processing device has an OSD signal generating circuit which outputs an
analog OSD signal in the form of a current and a resistor which has its
one end connected to the output terminal of the OSD signal generating
circuit and its other end connected to ground to convert a current signal
into a voltage signal. In an analog-to-digital converter the input
terminal of which is connected to the output terminal of the OSD signal
generating circuit, the sampling upper- and lower-limiting voltages of a
signal applied to the input terminal are defined by a power source
voltage and ground potential, respectively.
