Patent ID: 8111263

Claim:
An image display apparatus comprising: a signal processing circuit including a color temperature correction circuit which corrects color temperature of an inputted video signal; and a display device to which the video signal subjected to the color temperature correction by the color temperature correction circuit is supplied and which performs display on the basis of the video signal, wherein: the signal processing circuit includes: a signal producer which produces a luminance signal, a hue signal, and a color saturation signal from the input video signal; and a detector which detects the input video signal as signal of white attributes when the luminance signal from the signal producer is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value and the color saturation signal from the signal producer is less than or equal to a second predetermined value; and the color temperature correction circuit includes: a first color temperature correcting section to correct the hue signal from the signal producer so as to raise color temperature of the signal of the white attributes when the detector detects the signal of the white attributes; and a second color temperature correcting section to correct the color saturation signal from the signal producer so as to raise color saturation of the signal of the white attributes when the detector detects the signal of the white attributes.
