  • Publication number: 20170162097
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a system circuit board and a backlight module. The system circuit board is electrically connected to the display panel and includes a storage unit. The backlight module is disposed corresponding to the display panel and emits a light to pass through the display panel. The backlight module has a light emitting unit, and the light emitting unit has an identical code. A color adjusting method of the display device includes the following steps of: identifying the identical code of the light emitting unit; obtaining a set of chromaticity coordinate values corresponding to the identical code; and storing the set of chromaticity coordinate values in the storage unit. Accordingly, the display device can achieve the goal of a better color presentation with lower cost.
