Abstract
Abstract A display apparatus includes a video signal input terminal supplied with a first video signal to be displayed; a plurality of video signal amplifiers, each producing an output signal as a primary color signal; a sync signal generating means for generating a sync signal corresponding to the first video signal; a signal generating circuit for generating a second video signal having a predetermined constant amplitude during the horizontal period; a first circuit for supplying the first video signal to at least one of the video signal amplifiers; and a second circuit for supplying the second video signal to at least one different video signal amplifier.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A display apparatus comprising: a video signal input terminal supplied with a first video signal to be displayed, said first video signal having a horizontal period and containing a sync signal; a plurality of video signal amplifiers, each producing an output signal as a primary color signal; sync signal separating means for separating said sync signal from said first video signal; signal generating means for receiving said sync signal and generating a second video signal therefrom having a predetermined constant amplitude during said horizontal period; first means for supplying said first video signal to at least one of said video signal amplifiers; second means for supplying said second video signal to at least another of said video signal amplifiers; and selectively operable summing means for selectively summing said first and second video signals and supplying the summed signal to at least a selected one of said video signal amplifiers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A display apparatus comprising: a video signal input terminal supplied with a first video signal to be displayed, said first video signal having a horizontal period and containing a sync signal; a plurality of video signal amplifiers, each producing an output signal as a primary color signal; sync signal separating means for separating said sync signal from said first video signal; signal generating means for receiving said sync signal and generating a second video signal therefrom having a predetermined constant amplitude during said horizontal period; first means for supplying said first video signal to at least one of said video signal amplifiers; second means for supplying said second video signal to at least another of said video signal amplifiers; and selectively operable summing means for selectively summing said first and second video signals and supplying the summed signal to at least a selected one of said video signal amplifiers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sync signal generating means comprises a sync separator connected to said video signal input terminal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plurality of video signal amplifiers are three primary color video amplifiers which produce red, green and blue color signals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The display apparatus of claim 1; wherein said first means for supplying includes first switch means connected between said video signal amplifiers and said video signal input terminal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The display apparatus of claim 4; wherein said second means for supplying includes second switch means connected between said video signal amplifiers and said signal generating means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The display apparatus of claim 5; and further comprising means connected between said first and second switch means and said video signal amplifiers for supplying said first and second video signals to said video signal amplifiers.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The display apparatus of claim 6; wherein each of said first and second switch means includes a switch connected to each of said video signal amplifiers.
