Abstract: A device for measuring two-dimensional flicker of the present application includes a plurality of two-dimensional sensors having a partial readout function of reading out only a pixel value of some of photoelectric conversion elements included in set partial readout regions, among a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements. In the device for measuring two-dimensional flicker, a plurality of measurement regions are set two-dimensionally on a measurement target object. Each pixel in the plurality of measurement regions is individually acquired, by setting each of the plurality of partial readout regions of the plurality of two-dimensional sensors in each of a plurality of partial imaging regions obtained by dividing an entire imaging region including entirely the measurement target object. A flicker value of the plurality of measurement regions is individually obtained based on each pixel value in the plurality of measurement regions.
