Abstract
An infrared ray television apparatus wherein an incident light from a foreground subject is separated into an infrared ray and visible ray, these rays are converted to television signals by the respective image pickup means, and said signals corresponding to the infrared and visible rays are supplied to the input terminals of the red color electron gun and green color electron gun involved in a color television image-reproducing means thereby to reproduce on the same screen the infrared ray image and visible ray image in red and green colors respectively.
