Abstract

An image processing apparatus for performing predetermined image processing on image data to be displayed on an image display apparatus to generate data to be supplied to the image display apparatus, characterized in that the image processing apparatus includes: a storage unit for The tone values ​​of the image display device are stored in advance in a relationship set according to the display characteristics of the image display device; an image data correction unit performs tone correction of the image data according to the relationship; and a color subtraction processing unit converts the corrected image data Subtractive color is the number of tones that can be displayed in the image display device.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the original application with the application number 01119078.7 and the filing date of May 25, 2001. The first prior application of the original application is JP01-105425, and the priority date is May 25, 2000. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to processing of image data supplied to an image display device. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, a liquid crystal display (LCD: Liquid Crystal Display) panel has been used as an image display unit of a mobile phone. The LCD panel displays two-tone characters and images by changing the transmittance of liquid crystals by turning ON / OFF the driving voltage of liquid crystal cells arranged in a matrix. In recent years, mobile phones have been multifunctionalized, and models that can be connected to the Internet are appearing. Along with this situation, the LCD panel of the mobile phone is required to display multi-tones so that more information ca...
