ABSTRACT:
A protective circuit and a signal processor for a three-CRT projection TV for preventing CRT burnout, deterioration of luminous characteristics, and damage to lenses by heat. Each CRT beam current detection circuit detects the beam current of each CRT. A state of the video image is predicted based on the detected beam current values and their duration. A microcomputer determines a control voltage for controlling the contrast based on the state of the video image, detected values, and their duration. The contrast is thus controlled by a control signal output to a video control circuit which controls the beam current.
