Abstract
In a threshold matrix generation method, after periodic areas are set in a matrix space and elements existing every other one in a row direction and a column direction in each periodic area is set as target elements, performed is a step of assigning threshold values ranging from one on the most highlight side to a predetermined switching threshold value sequentially to target elements in the periodic areas. Assuming that elements to which threshold values are assigned are regarded as determined elements, in the step, under a condition that the number of determined elements is almost same in the periodic areas and each determined element is positioned in a vicinity of any one determined element in each periodic area, a target element whose distance to all determined elements is largest is specified within the periodic areas and a threshold value is assigned to the target element.
