Since the gradation difference between the gradation value 64 and the gradation value 96 is 32, the gradation difference in this range is the same from the low luminance side to the high luminance side. Since the gradation difference is 32 and the gradation difference between the gradation value 128 and the gradation value 192 is 64, the gradation difference in this range increases from the low luminance side to the high luminance side).

Then, the gradation value of the white test pattern is changed to 255 (step 86), this is imaged 10 times by the camera 3 (step 87), and each captured image is stored in the captured image storage unit 11. That (step 88).
- the control unit 10 that captured the white test pattern integrates each captured image of the white test pattern stored in the captured image storage unit 11 for each gradation value, and generates an integrated image for each gradation value (step 89). ), Each accumulated image is stored in the accumulated image storage unit 12 (step 90). Then, the control unit 10 generates correction data for each gradation value based on the integrated image for each gradation value for each gradation value to reduce luminance unevenness when the liquid crystal panel 2 displays white (step 91). Is stored in the correction data storage unit 13 (step 92).

- the image quality adjustment type liquid crystal panel 6 is completed (step 94).
- the image quality adjustment circuit 4 refers to the correction data written in the ROM 5 and adds a correction value to the input signal.
- the uneven brightness is suppressed (step 96).
- correction data is not generated for each color of red, green, and blue as in the first embodiment, but correction data is generated for only white, so that the number of times the test pattern is imaged is 3 in the first embodiment.

Abstract
Description
SNR=m/√m=√m
になることが知られているから、n回積算したときのS/N比は
SNRn=(m×n)/√(m×n)=√(m×n)=√m×√n=SNR×√n
となり、積算しない場合に比べて√n倍向上する。
図1は、本形態に係る補正データ生成システムを示す。この補正データ生成システム1は、液晶パネル2にテストパターンを表示させて白黒の固定撮像素子カメラ3で撮像し、液晶パネル2の表示むらを低減させる補正データを生成する。生成された補正データは、画質調整回路4のROM(不揮発性メモリ)5に記憶され、この画質調整回路4が液晶パネル2に実装されることによって、画質調整型液晶パネル6が製造される。画質調整型液晶パネル6においては、画質調整回路4がROM5に記憶された補正データを参照しながら液晶パネル2に入力された画像信号(入力信号)を補正することにより、液晶パネル2の表示むらの低減が図られて画質が調整される。
本形態は、補正データ生成システム1による補正データの他の生成方法を示す。
