Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate deficient correction at a light color part and over correction for contour correction of high luminance part by controlling a color difference signal by a narrow band luminance signal and controlling the contour correction signal by a controlled color difference signal. CONSTITUTION:An R-Y signal inputted from an input terminal 2 is subject to voltage clamp by a clamp circuit 3, a negative side of a clip circuit 4 is clipped and the clipped signal controls the contour correction of a luminance signal YL by the clipped signal. That is, the narrow band luminance signal YL inputted from the input terminal 7 is clamped by a clamp circuit 8, the output of the clamp circuit 8 controls the output of the clip circuit 4 by a gain adjustment circuit 9 so that the gain is made small when the luminance level is high and the gain is made large when the level is low. Moreover, the output of the gain adjustment circuit 5 is subject to voltage clip by the clamp circuit 10 and the gain adjustment circuit 5 adjusts the gain of the contour correction signal AP and the signal subject to contour correction is extracted from an output terminal 6. Thus, the overcorrection of a high luminance part and the deficient correction of the light color part are avoided.
