Display device provided with video display unit, and method for measuring display of video display unit
A display device includes: a video display unit, an optical detection unit that measures the display realized by the video display unit; and a control unit that, upon receiving a measurement start time at which the optical detection unit carries out measurement, turns on the power source of the video display unit a first predetermined time interval before the measurement start time, and causes the optical detection unit to perform the measurement at the measurement start time.
1. A display device comprising:
a video display unit;
an optical detection unit that measures display realized by said video display unit; and
a control unit that, upon receiving a measurement start time at which said optical detection unit carries out measurement, turns ON a power source of said video display unit a first predetermined time interval before said measurement start time, and causes said optical detection unit to carry out measurement at said measurement start time,
wherein said control unit, upon verifying input indicating that measurement is to be postponed in an interval from a predetermined time to said measurement start time, takes as the measurement start time the current measurement start time to which a second predetermined time interval is added, said predetermined time being earlier than said measurement start time by said first predetermined time interval.
2. The display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said control unit, upon verifying input indicating postponement of measurement in an interval after the power source of said video display unit has been turned ON until said measurement start time, takes as the measurement start time the current measurement start time to which a second predetermined time interval is added.
3. The display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said control unit, upon verifying input indicating suspension of measurement in an interval after the power source of said video display unit has been turned ON until said measurement start time, suspends measurement.
4. The display device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a power source switch;
wherein said control unit, upon verifying that said power source switch was pressed in the interval after the power source of said video display unit was turned ON until said measurement start time, takes as the measurement start time the current measurement start time to which a third predetermined time interval is added.
5. The display device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a power source switch;
wherein said control unit makes said power source switch ineffective during the interval from said first predetermined time interval before said measurement start time until said measurement is completed.
6. The display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said control unit adjusts the display state of said video display unit according to the result of said measurement.
7. The display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
said control unit, upon receiving a plurality of said measurement start times, turns ON the power source of said video display unit said first predetermined time interval before the measurement start time that is set in the earlier measurement start time and implements measurement, and does not implement measurement for an intervening measurement start time.
8. A display device comprising:
a video unit:
an optical detection unit that measures display realized by said video display unit: and
a control unit that, upon receiving a measurement start time at which said optical detection unit carries out measurement, turns ON a power source of said video display unit a first predetermined time interval before said measurement start time, and causes said optical detection unit to carry out measurement at said measurement start time,
wherein said control unit, upon verifying input indicating that measurement is to be suspended in an interval from a predetermined time to said measurement start time, suspends measurement, said predetermined time being earlier than said measurement start time by said first predetermined time interval.
9. A method for measuring the display of a video display unit that is carried out in a display device provided with a video display unit, an optical detection unit that measures display realized by said video display unit, and a control unit, the method comprising:
said control unit, upon receiving a measurement start time at which said optical detection unit carries out measurement, causing a power source of said video display unit to turn ON a first predetermined time interval before said measurement start time and then causing said optical detection unit to carry out measurement at said measurement start time;
wherein said control unit, upon verifying input indicating that measurement is to be postponed in an interval from a predetermined time to said measurement start time, takes as the measurement start time the current measurement start time to which a second predetermined time interval is added, said predetermined time being earlier than said measurement start time by said first predetermined time interval.
