DRIVE DEVICE AND DISPLAY APPARATUS
A display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a display panel including a plurality of pixels; and a drive device that outputs a driving signal to the display panel. The driving signal causes one of the pixels to emit light many times by an active PWM drive method in a 1-frame period.
Dual-screen display method for eliminating AR/VR picture tearing and AR/VR display device
The present disclosure proposes a dual-screen display method for eliminating AR/VR picture tearing and an AR/VR display device, each single screen in a dual-screen for the dual-screen display method being divided into a first half-screen and a second half-screen respectively. The method includes: performing rendering and scanning in parallel for the first half-screen and the second half-screen in unit of half a frame. A start time of scanning the second half-screen is adjusted to eliminate a picture tearing phenomenon.
Coding for avoiding motion artifacts
A method includes representing dots of an image to be displayed within a field by a digital image code. The field is divided into sub-fields which are further divided into a first and second time interval which respectively comprise a first and a second number of equally long time slots. Time slots are assigned to each bit of the digital image code according to each bit's significance. Successive time slots of the first time interval are assigned to one of the bits of the image code and successive time slots of the second time interval are assigned to a different one of the bits of the image code. Within the duration of at least one sub-field, each rows is selected twice for respectively writing a first bit of the image code during the first time interval and writing a second bit of the image code during the second time interval.
MITIGATING ARTIFACTS ASSOCIATED WITH LONG HORIZONTAL BLANK PERIODS IN DISPLAY PANELS
A display panel includes a first scan driving circuit, a second scan driving circuit, and a third scan driving circuit. The first scan driving circuit is configured to generate a first gate scan signal to control programming of a first display line in a first horizontal sync period that includes a long horizontal blank (LHB) period. The second scan driving circuit is configured to generate a first dummy gate scan signal to control initialization of a second display line in the LHB period of the first horizontal sync period. The third scan driving circuit is configured to generate a second gate scan signal to control programming of the second display line in a second horizontal sync period that follows the first horizontal sync period.
Active matrix organic light-emitting diode display device and method for driving the same
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.
Display with adjustable duty cycle for individual color channels
Methods and systems relating generally to information displays, and more particularly to systems and methods for setting or dynamically adjusting the illumination pulses of a display or portions of a display on an individual color channel (typically R, G, B) basis. The illumination pulses may be adjusted for a plurality of frames at once, or on a frame by frame basis. The illumination pulses may be controlled for an entire image frame, or the illumination pulse may be controlled on a finer basis, for instance on separate areas or sub-regions of a display. Such adjustments can lead to improved sharpness, brightness, or useable lifetime of the display, and can eliminate or reduce discrepancies of visual artifacts in the visual field by providing separate or variable duty cycle capability on an individual color channel basis to the display for use in combination with display images, particularly for use with close-eye display orientations such as those used in augmented reality or virtual reality applications.
Systems and Methods for Controlling Dual Modulation Displays
In one embodiment, a dual modulator display systems and methods for rendering target image data upon the dual modulator display system are disclosed where the display system receives target image data, possible HDR image data and first calculates display control signals and then calculates backlight control signals from the display control signals. This order of calculating display signals and then backlight control signals later as a function of the display systems may tend to reduce clipping artifacts. In other embodiments, it is possible to split the input target HDR image data into a base layer and a detail layer, wherein the base layer is the low spatial resolution image data that may be utilized as for backlight illumination data. The detail layer is higher spatial resolution image data that may be utilized for display control data.
Controlling emission rates in digital displays
A display device may include pixels that display image data. The display device may also include a circuit that receives pixel data having a gray level for at least one pixel, such that the pixel data corresponds to a frame of the image data and the frame includes sub-frames. The pixel data causes the circuit to provide at least one current pulse to the at least one pixel according to a first order of the sub-frames. The circuit may also receive a second order of the sub-frames, such that the second order is mapped with respect to the first order, and at least one current pulse is provided to the at least one pixel according to the second order. As such, visual artifacts depicted on the display are reduced.
Frame-by-frame rendering for augmented or virtual reality systems
One embodiment is directed to a user display device comprising a housing frame mountable on the head of the user, a lens mountable on the housing frame and a projection sub system coupled to the housing frame to determine a location of appearance of a display object in a field of view of the user based at least in part on at least one of a detection of a head movement of the user and a prediction of a head movement of the user, and to project the display object to the user based on the determined location of appearance of the display object.
Systems and methods to reduce visual artifacts in displays
Systems and methods for providing display panels with reduced visual artifacts. A display system is provided that includes a pixel array having a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns. The display system receives an image stream that includes a plurality of sets of image data that each represent an image to be sequentially presented by the display system. The data for each frame or set of image data is loaded into the pixel array according to a loading sequence with reduces the visual artifacts perceived by a viewer of the display system. The loading sequence may include an inside-out loading sequence which gives preference to a central region of the pixel array, a speculative preloading sequence which first loads portions of the pixel array with speculative data, or various combinations thereof.
