The present invention includes systems and methods for a multi-primary color system for display. A multi-primary color system increases the number of primary colors available in a color system and color system equipment. Increasing the number of primary colors reduces metameric errors from viewer to viewer. One embodiment of the multi-primary color system includes Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta primaries. The systems of the present invention maintain compatibility with existing color systems and equipment and provide systems for backwards compatibility with older color systems.

A method for driving an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display. The method may be used to digitally drive the AMOLED display in a way that limits the susceptibility of the AMOLED display to certain problems arising out of digital driving techniques, such as image sticking or low display lifetimes. The method involves generating compensation factors corresponding to each pixel of the display and using those compensation factors to control the illumination of the display. The aspects of the method that incorporate the operation point for generating a compensation factor may also be applied to analog driving of AMOLED displays.

A handheld imaging device has a data receiver that is configured to receive reference encoded image data. The data includes reference code values, which are encoded by an external coding system. The reference code values represent reference gray levels, which are being selected using a reference grayscale display function that is based on perceptual non-linearity of human vision adapted at different light levels to spatial frequencies. The imaging device also has a data converter that is configured to access a code mapping between the reference code values and device-specific code values of the imaging device. The device-specific code values are configured to produce gray levels that are specific to the imaging device. Based on the code mapping, the data converter is configured to transcode the reference encoded image data into device-specific image data, which is encoded with the device-specific code values.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for compensating for a luminance deviation. A difference in pixel value of the image capturing device between a first pixel and a second pixel in the screen and a difference in gray scale level between first and second gray scale levels are derived from a captured image at the first gray scale level and a captured image at the second gray scale level which include pixel values of the image capturing device. A pixel value for the second pixel is calculated from the captured image at the first gray scale level.

A display controller, comprising a 3D_LUT random access memory, which stores at least a 3D Lookup table; and a display control processing unit, comprising: a computing unit, a register, a color signal booster, and a color signal attenuator; wherein after input color signals are received by the color signal booster, and the color signal booster amplifies color signals by a first predetermined factor, wherein the computing unit calculates the address of the 3D Lookup table, and loads the 3D Lookup table from the 3D_LUT random access memory according to the register, wherein the color signal attenuator attenuates color signals by a second predetermined factor. The present disclosure significantly increases the precision of color conversion from one RGB color space to another RGB color space, and does not increase the RAM cost, since the cost of multiplying or dividing by power of 2, for example, is limited.

High dynamic range (HDR) support is provided for legacy application programs, such as games that are configured to display standard dynamic range (SDR) frames. HDR frames may be generated without modifying the legacy application program. The buffer creation process of the legacy application program is intercepted and modified before creation of the SDR format buffer so that the buffer is configured to use an upgraded SDR format having an increased bit depth compared with a conventional SDR buffer. Rather than tone mapping and quantizing rendered image data to the lower bit depth for storage in the conventional SDR buffer, the rendered image data is tone mapped and quantized for storage at the increased bit depth of the upgraded SDR buffer. Therefore, the luminance and greater dynamic range of the tone mapped data is better preserved compared with outputting conventional SDR frames.
