To provide an image display device capable of accurately correcting the dispersion of the luminance characteristics of a display element.

This image display device includes the plurality of display elements, and a drive circuit for driving the plurality of display elements, the drive circuit having a correction circuit for correcting, in response to a gradation, dispersion of luminance characteristics of the plurality of display elements, wherein the drive circuit outputs modulation signals such that a modulation signal for a first gradation and a modulation signal for a second gradation are of similar shape, and wherein the correction circuit corrects the first gradation using a value derived from the luminance characteristic of the display element that is measured by driving the display element with the modulation signal for the second gradation.
