Abstract

A method of manufacturing an EL display device having a light emitting part, in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed, and a thin-film transistor array device to control light emission of the light emitting part, includes a luminance measurement step of obtaining luminance data of pixel, with the light emitting part being lit. The luminance measurement step includes a first luminance measurement step and a second luminance measurement step. In the first luminance measurement step, a first imaging apparatus obtains luminance data by measuring light emission of the each pixel. The first apparatus has a resolution corresponding to that of the pixels of the light emitting part. In the second luminance measurement step after the first step, a second imaging apparatus measures light emission of a plurality of the pixels to correct the luminance data of the each pixel obtained in the first luminance measurement step. The second imaging apparatus is lower in resolution than the first imaging apparatus.

Claims (7)

1. A method of manufacturing an EL display device having a light emitting part, in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed, and a thin-film transistor array device to control light emission of the light emitting part,

the method comprising a luminance measurement step of obtaining luminance data of pixel with the light emitting part being lit, the luminance measurement step including:

a first luminance measurement step; and

a second luminance measurement step after the first step,

wherein the first luminance measurement step is to obtain luminance data of each one of all the pixels by measuring light emission of the each pixel with all the pixels being lit, by using a first imaging apparatus having a resolution corresponding to a resolution of the pixels of the light emitting part;

the second luminance measurement step is to obtain luminance data of an “X×Y” pixel-region by measuring light emission of pixels in the “X×Y” pixel-region with the plurality of the pixels being lit in a group-lighting manner, the “X×Y” pixel-region being obtained by using “x”דy” imaging elements included in a second imaging apparatus having a resolution lower than the resolution of the first imaging apparatus, the “X×Y” pixel-region consisting of an “X” by “Y” matrix of pixels among the plurality of the pixels, the group-lighting manner being such that an “X” by “Y” matrix of pixels among the plurality of the pixels is treated as one group and the groups are sequentially lit, integers “x” and “y” being respectively smaller than integers “X” and “Y”; and

wherein the luminance data of the each pixel obtained in the first luminance measurement step is corrected, based on the obtained luminance data of the “X×Y” pixel-region.
