Abstract:
A gamma difference compensating apparatus includes a first gamma curve generating part, a front luminance measuring part, a front gamma calculating part, a second gamma curve generating part and a gamma compensating part. The first gamma curve generating part outputs a first gamma curve data. The front luminance measuring part measures a luminance of a left area from a front of the left area, measure a luminance of a right area from a front of the right area, and output a front luminance data. The front gamma calculating part outputs a front gamma data based on the front luminance data. The second gamma curve generating part applies the front gamma data to the first gamma data and output a second gamma curve data. The gamma compensating part compensates a gamma value of the left area and a gamma value of the right area.

A method of driving a display panel includes respectively outputting first to j-th, where j is a natural number, gate signals to first to j-th gate lines disposed on a first area of the display panel during a load period when an image is displayed on the display panel due to an output of a data signal to the display panel, adjusting a blank gate voltage during a blank period between load periods to generate an adjusted blank gate voltage, generating a blank gate signal based on the adjusted blank gate voltage, and outputting the blank gate signal. Thus, display quality of a display apparatus may be improved.

A spot correcting apparatus includes a first spot correcting part and a second spot correcting part. The first spot correcting part is configured to correct a first spot having a first size of a first correcting area unit of 2N*2N (N is a natural number) pixel area. The second spot correcting part is configured to correct a second spot having a second size different from the first size of a second correcting area unit of L*M (each of L and M is a natural number and at least one of L and M is different from 2N) pixel area. Thus, display quality of a display apparatus may be easily improved.

Abstract:
A method of reducing a total, per device, measurements taking time in a calibration system that uses a sensor array that serially reports out its readings and a data processing unit that needs to receive the reported out readings in good order before allowing an under-measurement first display device to advance away from a measurements taking station includes the step of not driving the first display device with all of required full screen test images where each is a full screen display of only a respective one of a predetermined minimum number of grayscale values produced as a minimum number of needed full screen sample images and; in place of at least a first plurality of the not-produced full screen images, driving the under-measurement first display device with a partial screen multi-pattern that presents a plurality of different grayscale values including ones not presented by those of all of the full screen test images that are used to drive the under-measurement first display device. The serially reported out readings from the sensor array for the partial screen multi-pattern and for the full screen test images are obtained and used to generate virtual full screen sample images based on the obtained partial screen multi-pattern and for the full screen test images.
Abstract:
A spot detecting apparatus includes a photographing part and a spot detecting part. The photographing part photographs, in a first resolution, an image displayed on a display panel to output first resolution image data, and photograph, in a second resolution, the image displayed on the display panel to output second resolution image data, where the second resolution is higher than the first resolution, and the image displayed on the display panel includes a first spot greater than or equal to a reference size and a second spot less than the reference size. The spot detecting part receives the first resolution image data and the second resolution image data, and subtracts the first resolution image data from the second resolution image data to detect the second spot.
