Patent ID: 7847809

Claim:
An image display method comprising: providing a light source and an electro-optical modulation device which modulates light emitted from the light source in accordance with a plurality of color signals of image data in a predetermined color order; obtaining information relating to a delay within a single frame displayed by the electro-optical modulation device, the information relating to the delay being determined based on a variation between different color signals of the plurality of color signals within the single frame; establishing color distribution ratios for the plurality of color signals within the single frame based on the information relating to the delay within the single frame displayed by the electro-optical modulation device; performing error evaluation by determining a volume of errors caused due to the delay of the electro-optical modulation device from the plurality of color signals based on quantities of intensity variation in the plurality of color signals, the quantities of intensity variation in the plurality of color signals being obtained by integrating absolute values of the quantities of intensity variation in the respective color signals; and generating the plurality of color signals based on the color distribution ratios.
