Patent ID: 7995080

Claim:
An image display apparatus comprising: a plurality of pixels; and a drive circuit for outputting a modulation signal that drives the pixels on the basis of inputted driving data, wherein the drive circuit has a correction circuit for outputting the driving data that is corrected on the basis of a correction value, and wherein the correction value is a correction value that corrects variation of brightness of the plurality of pixels, and wherein the correction on the basis of the correction value is a correction such that a number of pixels to be darkened by the correction when the driving data inputted for the plurality of pixels have a common first value is fewer than a number of pixels to be darkened by the correction when the driving data inputted for the plurality of pixels have a common second value larger than the first value, and wherein a half-value width of a frequency distribution chart, in which a lateral axis represents brightness and a longitudinal axis represents the number of pixels in a case that brightness is measured by driving the plurality of pixels by the driving data having the first value without carrying out the correction by the correction circuit, is larger than a half-value width of a frequency distribution chart, in which a lateral axis represents brightness and a longitudinal axis represents the number of pixels in a case that brightness is measured by driving the plurality of pixels by the driving data having the second value without carrying out the correction by the correction circuit.
