Abstract: An image processor includes a curve generator and a gradation correcting unit. Based on a predetermined correspondence relationship between average luminance of an image and a gradation correction curve, the curve generator generates, in accordance with average luminance of an input image, a common curve, i.e. a gradation correction curve used to correct a gradation of the input image. The gradation correcting unit uses in common the common curve generated by the curve generator for red, green, and blue color signals of the input image to correct gradations of the red, green, and blue color signals. Based on first average luminance, i.e. an average value of luminance of a first region in the input image, second average luminance, i.e. an average value of luminance of a predetermined-colored second region included in the first region, and an area of the second region, the curve generator generates a common curve.
