Abstract: An image display device includes a microcomputer and LUTs which are tables of correction data used to correct color balance of images. The microcomputer sets LUT extensions and calculates the LUTs based on: (1) the normalized values GainLn of the L conforming adjustment values GainL and the normalized values GainHn of the H conforming adjustment values GainH; (2) the normalized values Lin of the input values Liref of the image data of the L adjustment image and the normalized values Hin of the input values Hiref of the image data of the H adjustment image; (3) the correction data of the LUTs; and (4) the correction data of the LUT extension units.

Abstract: An image display device such as an LCD television comprises a microcomputer and look-up tables to store correction data for correcting color balance of an image to be displayed. The microcomputer recalculates correction data in the look-up tables and updates the correction data to the recalculated correction data based on: an input value InL and an input value InH of image data of a Low side and a High side white balance adjustment image, respectively; and a gain value GainL and a gain value GainH provided to the input values InL and InH, respectively, to bring color balance of the Low side and High side white balance adjustment image to a predetermined color balance, respectively. This image display device can increase accuracy of white balance adjustment and reduce time required for the white balance adjustment.
