Flat panel displays, particularly plasma display panels (PDP's) have a linear response to the luminance in an applied video signal. However, all video and graphic data sources assume that the information will be displayed on a CRT-like device which has a non-linear response. Without compensation, the video signal applied to the PDP appears pale with little color saturation. In addition, some PDP's utilize a 10-bit digital input while digital video signal processing is carried out using 8 bits. Hence, a circuit is provided for gamma correcting and for converting the 8-bit video signal into a 10-bit output signal for application to the PDP. The circuit takes into consideration that human vision has a non-linear perceptual response to luminance in the gamma correction and 8-bit to 10-bit conversion of the video signal.
