We consider two possibilities which can change the spectral shape of the Lyman-limit region in the radiation emitted by the accretion disks of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and quasars. One is the effect produced by the strong gravitational field of the black hole, and the other is Comptonization of the emitted disk spectrum by a surrounding hot corona. We present synthesized spectra in the region of the Lyman limit for optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disk models incorporating the above two effects.
