Abstract
In a gradation display method, an image is divided into pixels having fine areas, this pixel is furthermore divided into very fine pixels (Si) having very fine areas, and then gradation is displayed based upon a ratio of a colored very fine pixel (Si) with respect to all of very fine pixels (Si) within a pixel. Also, the above-described colored very fine pixel (Si) is formed by both a first growth core which is formed by increasing the number of colored very fine pixels of a single cluster, and a second growth core which is formed by increasing the number of colored very fine pixels of another single cluster.
