Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement d'image, qui peut maintenir/réguler de manière optimale des rythmes corporels par l'intermédiaire de la vue d'une personne regardant un dispositif d'affichage qui génère une lumière bleue. Le dispositif de traitement d'image comporte une unité de commande de commutation 3 qui acquiert des informations d'image Sin correspondant à une image à afficher sur un dispositif d'affichage 4, une unité d'acquisition de temps 10 qui acquiert des informations de temps indiquant l'heure du jour, le jour, le mois ou la saison, et une unité de commande 2 qui, sur la base des informations de temps acquises, commande la luminosité correspondant à l'une quelconque des composantes de couleur dans les informations d'image Sin.
