Abstract
A gamma correction circuit has a data group generator which stores first to n-th gamma correction tables, receives first to n-th gains, and adjusts a level of the input signal using the first to n-th gamma correction tables and the first to n-th gains, thereby producing a gamma-corrected data group including first to n-th gamma-corrected data. The circuit also has a gamma characteristic controller which loads the first to n-th gains into the data group generator, a signal level discriminator which outputs a discrimination signal based on the level of the input signal, the first to n-th gamma correction tables, and the first to n-th gains, and an output selector which selects from among the first to n-th gamma-corrected data on the basis of a value of the discrimination signal, thereby producing the gamma-corrected output signal.
