An image display device of the present invention is provided with a liquid
crystal display panel for displaying an image in accordance with an input
of a chrominance signal, a sensor for sensing light characteristics of
external light, and a chrominance signal converter for converting a
chrominance signal to be inputted into an image display section in
accordance with an output of the sensor. The chrominance signal converter
includes a target display color setting section for setting a color to
display as an image agreeable with chromatic adaptation characteristics
of human, according to the output of the sensor, and a color reproduction
section for reproducing a target color set by the target display color
setting section, by using three primary color with chromaticities
suitable for the output of the sensor. The target display color setting
section converts the chrominance signal into a chrominance signal of the
target display color reproduced by the color reproduction section.
Provided is an image with color tone, in which no change is sensed by a
user, even if external light condition, that is the light characteristics
of the external light.
