Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect deviation between a target γcharacteristic in adjustment and a γ characteristic in evaluation in a short time. SOLUTION: From XYZ stimulation values for a specific gradation value, xy chromaticity values are found. From XYZ stimulation values for a gradation value other than the gradation value, logical values of xy chromaticity values for the gradation value are found. The two kinds of xy chromaticity values for one gradation value which are obtained by those two different methods are compared with each other.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a technique introduced in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-34242, which is an example of a conventional technique relating to the adjustment of the γ characteristic. The hue adjusting unit 1 receives the video signal and controls the saturation of the color signal, the demodulation angle of the color signal, the demodulation gain, and the tint. The display element 2 outputs the adjusted signal as an image. The detecting means 3 detects a chromaticity point on the light emitting surface of the display element 2. The control means 4 sends correction data to the hue adjustment means 1 so as to approach the target chromaticity point according to the detected chromaticity point.

One of the reasons for this is the change with time of the display device. For example, in a display device using a liquid crystal element, the γ characteristic of the liquid crystal element itself may change depending on the energization time.
