Display apparatus and method for gamma correction

摘要

Image data of the respective colors are converted, by look-up tables in which gamma correction data are stored, into gradation data that are white-balanced with intervention of the V-T characteristics of liquid crystal panels. The generated gradation data are supplied to D/A converters and the liquid crystal panels via liquid crystal driving circuits. Gamma correction data within dynamic ranges that are set for each display apparatus by measuring a luminance ratio and contrast ratios of the respective colors are written to the look-up tables in advance. As a result, all they correction data stored in the look-up tables can be used effectively. The invention is directed to such a method for generating data of look-up tables and an image display apparatus that performs gradation correction by using thus-formed look-up tables.
