Color corrector in an apparatus for producing color image
First Claim
1. A color corrector provided in an apparatus for reproducing a color image from respective signals corresponding to predetermined primary colors of a plurality of primary colors constituting said color image, and adapted for correcting chromaticity of a color image reproduced,said color corrector at least comprising:
- corrective operation means adapted to execute a predetermined operation between a color correction coefficient matrix and signals corresponding to said primary colors to thereby correct relative levels of signals corresponding to said primary colors;
gray component extraction means adapted to make a level comparison between signals corresponding to said primary colors to thereby extract a gray component;
correction signal output means adapted to execute an operation between the extracted gray component and correction coefficients corresponding to said respective primary colors determined by said color correction coefficient matrix to thereby output gray balance corrected signals for every said primary colors; and
means for adding the level corrected signals corresponding to said respective primary colors outputted from said corrective operation means and outputs from said correction signal output means.

Abstract
A color corrector for correcting chromaticity of a color image to be reproduced is provided in a color printer or a CRT display device for reproducing a color image from respective signals corresponding to predetermined primary colors of a plurality of primary colors constituting the color image. This color corrector comprises: a corrective operation circuit for executing an operation between a color correction coefficient matrix and signals corresponding to the primary colors to correct relative levels of the signals corresponding to the primary colors; a gray component extraction circuit for making level comparison between the signals corresponding to the primary colors to thereby extract a gray component; a correction signal output circuit for executing an operation between the extracted gray component and correction coefficients determined by the matrix to output gray balance correction signals every primary colors; and an adding circuit for adding signals of which levels are corrected in correspondence with respective primary colors outputted from the corrective operation circuit to outputs from the correction signal output circuit.
