Abstract

Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for correcting a color imbalance of visible light in wavelength division parallel visible light communications. The method includes the steps of: inverting an original signal including information by a visible light communication transmitter; transmitting the original signal including the information and an inverted signal from the visible light communication transmitter to a visible light communication receiver, receiving the original signal including the information and the inverted signal by the visible light communication receiver, reinverting the inverted signal among the received signals by the visible light communication receiver, restoring the inverted signal back to its state prior to the inversion by reinverting the inverted signal by the visible light communication receiver, and performing a diversity combination on the original signal and a restored signal.
