A system and method for operating a display at a constant luminance even as some of the pixels in the display are degraded over time. Each pixel in the display is configured to emit light when a voltage is supplied to the pixel's driving circuit, which causes a current to flow through a light emitting element. Degraded pixels are compensated by supplying their respective driving circuits with greater voltages. The display data is scaled by a compression factor less than one to reserve some voltage levels for compensating degraded pixels. As pixels become more degraded, and require additional compensation, the compression factor is decreased to reserve additional voltage levels for use in compensation.

A signal processing circuit performs a correction on a first image signal to generate a noise-like pattern with regularity in an image, and thereby to generate a second image signal. Therefore, even if stripes or luminance unevenness is caused in a display image in the case where the first image signal is input into a display panel, a pattern making the stripes and the luminance unevenness less visible is allowed to be superimposed on the display image. Moreover, a pattern superimposed on the display image is the noise-like pattern with regularity which is obtainable without measuring light emission characteristics of the display panel. Therefore, it is not necessary to measure the light emission characteristics of the display panel to superimpose the above-described pattern on the display image.
