Therefore, it has been difficult to obtain a display with high saturation in the conventional transmission type image display device.

In the first embodiment, since the saturation of the emphasized color is increased by changing the light emission ratio of the light source, the chromaticity coordinates of colors other than the emphasized color also change. In the present embodiment, the signal input to the shutter control unit 3 can be converted by the color correction calculation unit 6 to prevent a change in color other than the emphasized color. By using a look-up table in which the light emission ratio of the light source and the input image signal are used as parameters for the signal conversion in the color correction calculation unit 6, color correction can be performed with high accuracy. Alternatively, by performing the color correction by the matrix operation, although the accuracy is slightly lowered, there is an effect of reducing the number of components.

For example, when the color at the coordinates 101 in FIG. 4 is to be further emphasized reddish, the color reproduction range is changed from the area 100 to the area 200 by changing the light emission ratio of the light source as in the first embodiment. By moving the coordinates 101 to the coordinates 201, a bright red color can be displayed. However, in this state, the chromaticity coordinates of the white color also move from the coordinate 102 to the coordinate 202, and are displayed as reddish white.

For example, when red is emphasized more vividly, an operation is performed such that white is corrected to the cyan side so that white does not move in the red direction, and the position is returned to the original chromaticity coordinate position. When the white color is corrected to the cyan side, the red transmittance of the white image signal actually input to the shutter control unit 3 is reduced, and the brightness is reduced as it is. In this embodiment,
A signal corresponding to a change in white luminance is sent from the color correction calculation unit 6 to the light source control unit 3 and the light emission amount of the entire light source increases, so that display can be performed with the same luminance as the original white. Also,
Not only white but also most other colors besides highlight colors,
Basically, a similar reduction in luminance occurs because the transmittance of red is reduced in the shutter section by color correction. Therefore, by the light source control of white luminance correction according to the present embodiment, a luminance correction effect similar to that of white can be obtained. Further, since the color correction is not performed for the emphasized color, the luminance is increased by the increase in the light emission amount of the light source, and there is an effect that the color is further emphasized.
