Abstract

A system for adjusting the white balance of a projector type color display device is shown. The color display device includes three single color cathode ray tubes from which single color beams are projected onto a screen to form a colored image on the screen. The white balance adjusting system comprises a first device for feeding one of the three cathode ray tubes with all white signal to cause the same to project a single color image on the screen; a second device for detecting a luminance value of the single color image on the screen; a third device for deriving luminance values of the other single color images from the detected luminance value; and a fourth device for controlling the selected cathode ray tube in such a manner that the derived luminance values are put in a tolerance which is provided for dealing with a noise of the second device.
