Abstract:
1. An apparatus for displaying an image, the apparatus comprising circuitry for correcting, for a display's transfer characteristic, a color signal representing one or more colors in the image, the color signal comprising values of color coordinates of each of the one or more colors, the color coordinates being associated with a plurality of primary colors, the primary colors comprising a plurality of first primary colors including a red color, a green color and a blue color, and one or more second primary colors, the color coordinates of each color comprising first coordinates associated with the first primary colors and comprising one or more second coordinates associated with the one or more second primary colors, the circuitry comprising: a conversion circuit for generating the first coordinates associated with the first primary colors and the one or more second coordinates associated with the one or more second primary colors; a first luminance correction circuit for generating a first signal incorporating a first correction of the color signal, the first correction being to correct for the display's transfer characteristic, the first signal being dependent on values of one or more of the first coordinates in the color signal; a second luminance correction circuit for generating a second signal incorporating a second correction of the color signal, the second correction being to correct for the display's transfer characteristic, the second signal being independent of values of the first coordinates in the color signal but being dependent on values of one or more of the one or more second coordinates in the color signal; a chroma correction circuit for generating color chrominance shift compensation values for the first primary colors using the color signal representing at least one of the second primary colors, wherein the color chrominance shift compensation values for the first primary colors is independent of amounts of the first primary colors but is dependent on one or more of amounts of the one or more second primary colors; a saturation parameter generating circuit for generating a saturation parameter, the saturation parameter being a relative-amount signal that represents an indication as to a relative amount of the values of one or more of the one or more second coordinates relative to the values of one or more of the first coordinates; and an interpolation circuit for generating a combined-correction signal by interpolation from the first signal, the color chrominance shift compensation value and the saturation parameter based on an indication of a relative amount of at least one of the one or more second primary colors relative to at least one of the first primary colors.
