Abstract: In a picture image display apparatus including a large number of display elements which are lighted by digitalized level adjusted light data produced by a video signal, the digitalized level adjusted light data are corrected by the difference between a mean quantity of light and the light quantity of each luminous element so as to light the luminous element during an interval corresponding to the level adjusted light data without using any light quantity adjusting circuit.
