A driving circuit drives a display panel having a matrix of picture elements and electrodes. The driving circuit includes a memory storing compensation data for compensating for position-dependent brightness differences between the picture elements. The brightness differences are due to the stray resistance and capacitance of the picture elements and electrodes. A correction circuit modifies image data according to the compensation data to generate control signals, which are used to control drivers that drive the picture elements via the electrodes. The modified image data produce a display with an even average brightness over the entire display panel.
