A vehicle lighting control system for controlling headlights of a vehicle and a display device comprises an illuminance detector for detecting an illuminance outside of the vehicle, and a lighting controller for controlling luminances of the headlights and the display device based on the detected illuminance. The lighting controller includes a headlight controlling module for turning the headlights off when the illuminance is above a first threshold, and turning the headlights on when the illuminance is the first threshold or below, and a display device controlling module for controlling the luminance of the display device to a first set value when the illuminance is above a second threshold, and controlling the luminance of the display device to a second set value when the illuminance is the second threshold or below, the second threshold being lower than the first threshold, the second set value being lower than the first set value.

Techniques for selective display frame fetching can include receiving or fetching rendered display frames by a display engine. The display engine can obtain an indication of a new frame and, in response to the indication of the new frame not including an indication of a flip completion event: (i) fill the display buffer with the new frame; (ii) scan out the new frame from the display buffer to a display port; and (iii) apply an adaptive contrast and backlight enhancement based on a histogram of changes in the new frame.

A display system includes a rendering device and a display device. The rendering device is to render a sequence of frames for display at a frame rate and to set an illumination configuration to be applied by the display device during a frame period for each frame of the sequence of frames based on the frame rate. The illumination configuration controls at least one of an illumination level and a duration for an illumination strobe, and at least one of an illumination level for an illumination fill preceding the illumination strobe in the frame period and an illumination level for an illumination fill following the illumination strobe in the frame period. The display device is to receive a representation of the illumination configuration from the rendering device and apply the illumination configuration during a frame period for each frame of the sequence of frames to display the frame.

Techniques, devices, and systems disclosed herein include detecting a vertical synchronization (VSYNC) signal cycle, determining a high frequency trigger pulse based on detecting an illumination component's pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, the high frequency trigger pulse corresponding to the illumination component's deactivation times, receiving a delay time period and activating a first sensor, at a first time, within the VSYNC signal cycle, the first time determined based on the high frequency trigger pulse and the delay time period. The first sensor may sense a first sensor reading and may be deactivated after being activated. A display setting may be adjusted based at least on the first sensor reading and the illumination component may be activated after the first sensor is deactivated.

A display control device for controlling a display panel that includes a light-emitting unit and that displays image data, the display control device comprises a light-emission control unit that controls a light-emission timing of the light-emitting unit; and an image-data update control unit that controls an update timing of the image data independently from the control of the light-emission timing.

There is provided an image display device that includes a display in which a background is transparently seen from a front surface side, and has a high degree of freedom at the time of installation. A liquid crystal panel (32) for adjusting transparency/light-emission adjusts, for each pixel, a ratio between transmitted light-source light and ambient light by respectively controlling a polarization direction of a reflected polarization component of the light-source light irradiated to a reflection-type polarization plate (20) from a light guide plate (180) and a polarization direction of a transmitted polarization component of the ambient light incident to the reflection-type polarization plate (20) from a rear surface side of the display, based on transparent/light-emitting pixel information. Accordingly, when the image display device is viewed from the front surface side of the display, an image is seen for each pixel, a background is transparently seen, or the background is seen so as to be superimposed on the image. Since it is not necessary to attach the image display device to a case filled with light, the image display device is widely used without limitation of use.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for combining low motion blur and variable refresh rate in a display. In one embodiment, a hold-type display is operated in a first mode of operation where the hold-type display is dynamically refreshed such that the hold type display handles updates to image frames at unpredictable times and where for each of the image frames a backlight of the hold-type display is activated for an entire duration of display of the image frame. Additionally, it is determined that at least one predefined condition has been met. Further, in response to the determination, the hold-type display is operated in a second mode of operation where the hold-type display is statically refreshed such that the hold-type display handles updates to image frames at regular intervals and where for each of the image frames the backlight of the hold-type display is flashed.
