ABSTRACT:
A video signal gradation corrector used in a television receiver or the like for preventing the destruction of the gradation of the black side and the floating of the luminance level of the black side and/or an excessive increase of the luminance level of the white side. The corrector can be realized with a small circuit scale. A histogram operating circuit includes an average luminance level detecting circuit. A constant is subtracted from an output signal of the average luminance level detecting circuit by a subtracter. The result of subtraction is multiplied by a constant by a constant-multiplication circuit. A lower-limit limiter circuit limits an output signal of the constant-multiplication circuit to a signal having a value not smaller than 0. An output signal of the lower-limit limiter circuit is provided as an accumulation start luminance level, thereby enabling a gradation correction in which the floating of the luminance level of the black side and the destruction of the gradation of the black side are prevented.
