Abstract: Provided is an image processing device capable of reproducing an original thin linear image region from a linear image region, which has become thick due to upscaling processing for a low-resolution image. In an image processing device (100), an amplitude estimation unit (1) calculates a magnification a in a local region so that an input image signal becomes similar to a low-resolution pattern PtnL. A similarity calculation unit (2) outputs a similarity s, which has a great value, at a pixel position which is similar to the low-resolution pattern PtnL. An FIR filter unit (4) sets an FIR filter coefficient by a difference pattern PtnDiff, receives a product of the magnification a and the similarity s, and performs FIR filter processing, and thereby acquires a high frequency component ?D. Then, when the high frequency component ?D is added to an input image Din by an adder (5), an output image Dout having excellent definition is acquired.

Abstract: An initial current ratio calculation unit obtains an initial current ratio for each pixel based on a current measurement result by a data line drive/current measurement circuit. A light emission current efficiency calculation unit obtains a light emission current efficiency for each pixel referring to an LUT, based on a measured operating temperature and the initial current ratio. A first correction unit corrects a video signal for each pixel in view of characteristics of each pixel, based on the current measurement result and the light emission current efficiency. A second correction unit obtains a correction term for each pixel in view of a difference in the light emission current efficiency compared to neighboring pixels, based on a two-dimensional distribution of the light emission current efficiency. The correction term obtained by the second correction unit is added to the video signal corrected to obtain a corrected video signal.
