Abstract

A gamma correction circuit includes a node level setting unit set predetermined level values of video signals from outside, in a case where encoded M-bit (where M is an arbitrary integer) video signals being represented by using predetermined number of sections and the level values of the video signals corresponding to 2n+1 number of nodes (where n is an arbitrary integer) associated with the sections on which the node are specified, and a gamma correction unit for executing gamma correction for the M-bit video signal in accordance with the level values of the nodes set in the node level setting unit, thereby the gamma correction circuit executes gamma correction on various types of display devices.
