Video display device and color temperature correction method for the same

Abstract

A video display device that allows the color temperature of the signals in white color attributes having high luminance and low chroma saturation to be corrected with high precision is provided together with the color temperature correction method for the same so as to visually obtain a desirable white color on display. The signal processing circuit for the color temperature correction according to this invention comprises an A/D converter to convert the video signals as input into digitalized signals, a matrix circuit to convert the digitalized signals as output from said A/D converter into luminance signals and at least two color difference signals, a hue conversion circuit to obtain hue signals from the color difference signals as output from said matrix circuit, a hue correction circuit to correct said hue signals, a chroma saturation conversion circuit to obtain chroma saturation signals from said color difference signals, a chroma saturation correction circuit to correct said chroma saturation signals and a color temperature correction circuit to perform the color temperature correction on the respective hue and chroma saturation signals as corrected.

1 . A video display device wherein said device is provided with a means to correct a color temperature of video signals in white color attributes having a given luminance or more and a given chroma saturation or less among said video signals as input.
