Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for compensating ageing effects of pixel outputs displaying an image on a display device. The method involves displaying a first image on an active display area (6) on the display device (1) having a first plurality of pixels; displaying a second image on a sub-area (7) of the display device (1) and having a second plurality of pixels, the active display area (6) being larger than the sub-area (7) and the second image being smaller than the first image and having fewer pixels than the active display area (6); driving the pixels of the sub-area (7) with pixel values that are representative or indicative for the pixels in the activity display area (6); making optical measurements on light emitted from the sub-area (7) and generating optical measurement signals (11) therefrom, and; controlling the display of the image on the active display area (6) in accordance with the optical measurement signals (11) of the sub-area (7).

21. A method for compensating ageing effects of pixel outputs displaying an image on a display device, comprising:
-
displaying a first image on an active display area on the display device having a first plurality of pixels; displaying a second image on a sub-area of the display device and having a second plurality of pixels, the active display area being larger than the sub-area and the second image being smaller than the first image and having fewer pixels than the active display area; driving the pixels of the sub-area with electronic signals having values that are representative or indicative for the pixels in the active display area; making optical measurements on light emitted from the sub-area and generating optical measurement signals therefrom; and controlling the display of the image on the active display area in accordance with the optical measurement signals of the sub-area. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

26. The system for real time correction of light output and/or colour of an image displayed on a display device, the system comprising:
-
a display device comprising an active display area for displaying the image, an image forming device, and an electronic driving system for driving the image forming device; an optical sensor unit comprising an optical aperture and a light sensor having an optical axis arranged to make optical measurements on a light output from a sub-area of the active display area of the image forming device and generating optical measurement signals therefrom; a feedback system receiving the optical measurement signals and on the basis thereof controlling the electronic driving system; and wherein the sub-area of the active display area is adapted to show an image that is representative or indicative of the image of the complete active display area. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

39. A computer program product comprising code segments adapted for execution on any type of computing device, the code segments when executed on a computing device providing:
-
means for allowing display of a first image on an active display area on the display device having a first plurality of pixels; means for allowing display of a second image on a sub-area of the active display area and having a second plurality of pixels, the active display area being larger than the sub-area and the second image being smaller than the first image and having fewer pixels than the active display area; means for controlling driving the pixels of the sub-area according to parts of the first image; and means for controlling the display of the image on the active display area in accordance with the optical measurement signals of the sub-area. - View Dependent Claims (40)
