    Abstract: An unevenness correction data generation method provided for generating unevenness correction data for effectively improving the yield of a display panel. The method includes: a step of capturing an image of a display panel where a predetermined pattern is displayed; a step of generating iteration data for correcting unevenness of the captured image; a step of storing the iteration data in a storage means; a step of capturing an image of the display panel where a pattern in the storage means is displayed; a step of generating iteration data for correcting unevenness of the captured image; a step of storing iteration data in the storage means; a step of judging whether or not an ending condition for ending repetition of the steps is satisfied; and a step of generating the unevenness correction data based on the iteration data stored in the storage means the ending condition is satisfied.

    Abstract: Given that a plurality of visual transfer function curves for a display panel are provided for each of different ranges from the display panel, two-dimensional luminance distribution data of the display panel is filtered using a filter having visual frequency characteristics substantially passing through: a part where a recognition sensitivity increases as a spatial frequency increases in a short-range function curve, which among the plurality of visual transfer function curves is the closest to the display panel; a peak part of the short-range function curve; a peak part in a long-range function curve, which among the plurality of visual transfer function curves is the farthest from the display panel; and a part where the recognition sensitivity decreases as the spatial frequency increases in the long-range function curve. An evaluation value of luminance unevenness of the display panel is calculated on the basis of the filtered two-dimensional filtering data.

    Abstract: Provided is a pattern position detection method that allows detecting positions of patterns used for alignment with high accuracy. According to the pattern position detection method of the present invention, patterns are displayed on a liquid crystal panel (2) and captured by a camera (3). A black image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel (2) and captured by the camera (3) using a shutter speed or an f-number used when capturing the patterns. Based on a difference between a captured image of the patterns and a captured image of the black image, positions of images of the patterns on an imaging surface of the camera (3) are detected.

    Abstract: An image quality adjustment apparatus obtains correction data for correcting display unevenness of a display panel by capturing an image of the display panel using a camera, and includes a moire frequency control unit that performs a control to position the display panel and the camera at a predetermined relative angle with respect to each other, an unevenness measurement unit that measures the display unevenness of the display panel based on the image captured by the camera, and a correction data generation unit that generates the correction data based on the unevenness measured by the unevenness measurement unit. Arranging the panel and the camera at the predetermined relative angle shifts a spatial frequency component of a moire pattern occurring in the image captured by the camera out of a region where a spatial frequency component of the display unevenness is present, and removes an influence of the moire pattern.
