Abstract

An image display method displays an image by different gradation conversion in every pixel, on the basis of gradation frequency distribution of luminance of pixels near an edge of the image, and counting of gradation frequency of luminance of pixels near the edge is weighted depending on the coordinate values of each pixel so as to eliminate relative contrast drop in the image central part from the image peripheral parts.
