Color display with automatic color control device

Claim 1

In color displays of the type which produce color pictures on a color cathode ray tube display according to radiation order signals of red, green and blue, the improvement comprising: detection means for detecting the radiation state of the surface of said cathode ray tube; difference signal calculation means for calculating a difference signal between the detection output of said detection means and the output corresponding to a radiation quantity that must be obtained originally and for outputting linearity compensation data that can calculate a mean deviation of a practical radiation quantity from said radiation order signals and a gain control value that can compensate for the deviation of the practical radiation quantity from said radiation order signals, from the output of said detection means, in synchronism with picture position data of a horizontal-vertical deflection signal of said cathode ray tube; and compensation means for compensating for said radiation order signals in accordance with said difference signal including a brightness compensation table storing said linearily compensation data and a gain control circuit controlling the amplification gain of the signal corrected by said compensation table in synchronism with said picture position data, between the input terminals of said radiation order signals and the input terminal of said cathode ray tube.
