Abstract

The present invention relates to a gamma-correction circuit which can prevent the deterioration of focusing in a projection television. The gamma-correction circuit comprises a gamma-correction section having an input for receiving a blue color video signal and operable to generate a gamma-corrected signal, a peak-beam current limiting section connected to the gamma-correction section and operable to compare a beam current corresponding to the blue color video signal with a predetermined peak-level value, the peak-beam current limiting section further operable to clip or pass the gamma corrected signal according to the comparison, and a video amplifying section connected to the peak-beam current limiting section and operable to amplify clipped or passed signal, and output the amplified signal to a blue color CRT.
