In a display device having a nonvolatile memory device, such as an active matrix type liquid crystal display device, display contents displayed on the display device are obtained by a camera device. The obtained information (corresponding to the display contents) is digital-converted and then processed to detect a defect and a nonuniformity on the display device, so that correction information is produced. The correction information is stored in the nonvolatile memory device of the display device. Display information to be displayed on the display device is processed using the stored correction information, so that display contents are corrected and a defect and a nonuniformity on the display contents are inconspicuous.

The present invention relates to a display correction system for a display device, in particular, a display device having a nonvolatile memory device and a display device correction method.
As a conventional display device, a cathode ray tube (CRT) device, a plasma display device, a liquid crystal display (LCD) device or the like is used. Recently, an LCD device, in particular, an active matrix type LCD device has been developed.
Since a dielectric constant of a liquid crystal substance (molecule) in a parallel direction to a molecule axis is different from that in a vertical direction, an LCD device uses this characteristic and displays ON/OFF states, that is, light/dark states by adjusting a transmission quantity or a scattering quantity of a light. In general, a liquid crystal material includes, a twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal, a super twisted nematic (STN) liquid crystal, a ferroelectric liquid crystal and the like.

FIG. 2 is a schematic structure view of a conventional active matrix type LCD device;

[Embodiment 1]
FIG. 1 shows a correction system having a liquid crystal display (LCD) device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the correction system includes an LCD device 110 formed on a glass substrate (not shown) and a correction information (correction data) producing device 100. The LCD device 110 has an active matrix portion 111, a gate driver 112, a source driver 113, a memory controller 114, a memory device (a correction memory 115), a correction processor 116, an analog/digital (A/D) converter 117, a synchronous divider 118, a clock generator 119 and a digital/analog (D/A) converter 120.
The correction information producing device 100 produces correction information used to correct the LCD device 110 and then writes the produced correction information into the correction memory 115. The device 100 has a charge coupled device (CCD) camera device 101, an amplifier 102, an A/D converter 103, a signal processor 104, a data write unit 105, a clock generator 106 and a video signal generator 107. The devices 100 and 110 are connected with each other by connection terminals 108 and 109.
