Abstract

A noise reduction circuit comprises a lowpass filter supplied with a luminance signal having a noise component of an input video signal, for eliminating a high-frequency component including the noise component, a first circuit for subtracting an output signal of the lowpass filter from the luminance signal, in a state where a rise in the level of the luminance signal is delayed by a predetermined time .tau. from the start of a rise in the output of the lowpass filter, where the output signal of the lowpass filter has a rise time .tau., and a second circuit for amplitude-limiting a subtracted output of the first circuit and subtracting the amplitude-limited output from the luminance signal, to obtain a luminance signal eliminated of the noise.
