Abstract
It is an object to avoid suppression of color signals before a green color signal G reaches a saturation detection level Gdet or before each of color signals R and B reaches its saturation level to thereby substantially faithfully reproduce color of an object. To this end, a high luminance color suppressing circuit includes a virtual luminance signal generator for generator for generating a virtual luminance signal Y based on at least one signal of input color signals Rin, Gin and Bin, a coefficient generator for generating a first through a third coefficient K.sub.1 through K.sub.3 based on a saturation detection level Gdet, a virtual detection level Gth, and maximum output levels Rmax and Bmax, and an output color signal generator for generating output color signals Rout, Gout and Bout based on the virtual luminance signal Y, a minimum coefficient K.sub.0 and the color signals Rin, Gin and Bin.
