  • Patent number: 10127853
    Abstract: A method of compensating for Mura in a display panel includes displaying a high gray-scale image and a low gray-scale image on a display panel. The displayed images are photographed to generate a high gray-scale luminance image and a low gray-scale luminance image. An ELA Mura for-measurement image having moiré-removed luminance values is generated by dividing luminance values of the low gray-scale luminance image by luminance values of the high gray-scale luminance image. One-dimensional average data is obtained from the ELA Mura for-measurement image. The one-dimensional average data is transformed into frequency-domain data. Target frequency-domain data having a maximum peak value is identified from the frequency-domain data. A direction, an intensity, and a frequency of the ELA Mura are obtained from the target frequency-domain data. A filter is determined based on the obtained information. The filter is applied to image data.
