First Claim
Patent Images
1. Apparatus for adjusting an image displayed on a display comprising:
- a display unit configured to emit light;
a color sensor configured to detect a color temperature of ambient light; and
a controller configured to control the display unit to adjust a color balance of the light emitted by the display unit based on at least the color temperature of ambient light detected by the color sensor.

19. Image display apparatus for storing and displaying image data comprising:
-
a memory for storing captured image data; an image processor for processing the captured image data to produce image display signals; a display device, responsive to the image display signals, for displaying an image representing the scene; an ambient light sensor for sensing at least first and second color components representing a color temperature of light which is ambient to the image display apparatus; color temperature correcting circuitry, responsive to the sensed first and second color components, to control at least one of the image processor and the display device to match the color temperature of the displayed image to the color temperature of the light ambient to the image display apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
