  • Publication number: 20080129765
    Abstract: An image adjustment method for displays is disclosed. Firstly, scan images on a display to get a coordinate of non-uniform brightness. Then the coordinate of non-uniform brightness is measured to obtain a chromatic value and a compensation value list is established according to a threshold value. Next brightness of images on the display is adjusted according to the coordinate of non-uniform brightness and the compensation value list so as to achieve uniform brightness of images, reduced labor cost and higher line speed.
