Abstract

An image data generator generates first image data consisting of a plurality of color data and being an image information for each pixel. An image processor including a color converter applies image processing such as color conversion on the first image data. An image display unit displays an image using image data consisting of second color data. An image data output unit outputs the first image data to the outside. The image display unit performs image display using the image data having received image-processing such as color conversion, while the image data output unit and outputs to the outside the image data before receiving the image processing. It is possible to obtain an image processing device capable of realizing an “exact color reproduction” or a “preferred color reproduction” on an image display image display unit, and outputting, to the outside, image data in the form of a standard image data, without reflecting the characteristics of the image display unit.

Dependent claims

An image processing device comprising:

an image data generator generating a first image data which is image information for each pixel and which includes a plurality of color data, said color data representative of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) values, and when performing an output of said image data said first image is output concurrently to both an image processor and image data output unit;
said image processor including a color converter, and calculating, based on the R, G, B values of the first image data and the color reproduction characteristics of a display unit, a second image data, which include a plurality of said color data representative of said red (R), green (G), and blue (B) values different from said first image data in said color space, by performing image processing including color conversion on the first image data;
said image display unit displaying an image using the second image data;
and
said image data output unit for outputting the first image data to the outside.
