Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for compensating ageing effects of pixel outputs displaying an image on a display device. The method involves displaying a first image on an active display area (6) on the display device (1) having a first plurality of pixels; displaying a second image on a sub-area (7) of the display device (1) and having a second plurality of pixels, the active display area (6) being larger than the sub-area (7) and the second image being smaller than the first image and having fewer pixels than the active display area (6); driving the pixels of the sub-area (7) with pixel values that are representative or indicative for the pixels in the activity display area (6); making optical measurements on light emitted from the sub-area (7) and generating optical measurement signals (11) therefrom, and; controlling the display of the image on the active display area (6) in accordance with the optical measurement signals (11) of the sub-area (7).
