IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An image display apparatus comprising:
- a display unit configured to display an image based on image data on a screen including a plurality of areas;
a light emitting unit capable of individually controlling emission brightness for each of the areas;
a calculation unit configured to calculate emission brightness of an image displayed on the screen for each of the areas based on the image data;
a measurement unit disposed opposing the screen, and configured to measure a characteristic value relating to display characteristics of the display unit; and
a control unit configured to determine whether emission brightness of a first area opposing the measurement unit is lower than a first value when the measurement unit measures the characteristic value, and to set the emission brightness to a value equal to or greater than the first value in a case where the emission brightness of the light emitting unit on the first area is lower than the first value.

Abstract
An image display apparatus includes a display unit to display an image based on image data on a screen including a plurality of areas, a light emitting unit to individually control emission brightness for each area, a calculation unit to calculate emission brightness of an image displayed on the screen for each area based on the image data, a measurement unit disposed opposing the screen and to measure a characteristic value relating to display characteristics of the display unit, and a control unit to determine whether emission brightness of a first area opposing the measurement unit is lower than a first value when the measurement unit measures the characteristic value and to set the emission brightness to a value equal to or greater than the first value when the emission brightness of the light emitting unit for the first area is lower than the first value.

11. A method for controlling an image display apparatus that includes a display unit configured to display an image on a screen including a plurality of areas based on image data and a light emitting unit capable of independently controlling emission brightness for each of the areas, the method comprising:
-
calculating emission brightness of an image displayed on the screen for each of the areas based on the image data; measuring a characteristic value relating to display characteristics of the display unit by using a measurement unit disposed opposing the screen; determining whether emission brightness for a first area opposing the measurement unit is lower than a first value when the measurement unit measures the characteristic value; and setting the emission brightness to a value that is equal to or greater than the first value in a case where the emission brightness of the light emitting unit for the first area is lower than the first value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
