AI summary

A display device comprises a display panel comprising a plurality of sub-pixels. An optical member is attached to the display panel. The optical member includes stereoscopic lenses. A display driver receives a correction coefficient for each view point of the display panel from a test apparatus for the display panel. The display driver corrects image data for each view point using the correction coefficient for each view point and drives the display panel so that an image associated with the corrected image data is displayed in a display area.
