Abstract

Disclosed is a television color cast adjustment method, including: dividing a television display screen into a plurality of areas according to a predetermined manner; determining an adjustment coefficient of red light and an adjustment coefficient of blue light in each area according to a position of each area relative to a light bar for the television display screen; adjusting initial image in each area according to the adjustment coefficients of red light and blue light thereof, and displaying the adjusted image in each area on the television display screen. Disclosed is also a television color cast adjustment apparatus. The present disclosure may solve the problem that the color cast appears on television display screens which is caused by the glass light guide plate, thus the viewing effect of TVs is improved.

Claims (158)

1. A television color cast adjustment method, comprising:

dividing a television display screen into a plurality of areas according to a predetermined manner;
