Patent ID: 8564581

Claim:
A display comprising: a display assembly extending along and about an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis with respective ones of the axes intersecting at a common point and oriented perpendicularly relative to each other to form a conventional Cartesian coordinate system with the x-axis and the y-axis defining an x-y plane, the display assembly including: a panel extending in the x-y plane and having a matrix of pixels located in a region and emitting light therefrom in response to a video signal; a light-receiving sensor disposed apart from the panel in a z-direction yet oriented generally centrally among the matrix of pixels as viewed along the z-axis and onto the x-y plane with at least one pixel being located farthest from the light-receiving sensor relative to remaining ones of the matrix of pixels, the light-receiving sensor receiving light in sequence from each individual one of the at least one pixel located farthest from the light-receiving sensor and the remaining ones of the matrix of pixels in the region and outputting light-reception signals in accordance with light-emission from each individual one of the at least one pixel located farthest from the light-receiving sensor and the remaining ones of the matrix of pixels; calculation means for calculating correction data on the basis of the light-reception signals from the at least one pixel located farthest from the light-receiving sensor and the remaining ones of the matrix of pixels; and drive control means for correcting the video signal on the basis of the correction data.
