A system for rendering color images on an electro-optic display when the electro-optic display has a color gamut with a limited palette of primary colors, and/or the gamut is poorly structured (i.e., not a spheroid or obloid). The system uses an iterative process to identify the best color for a given pixel from a palette that is modified to diffuse the color error over the entire electro-optic display. The system additionally accounts for variations in color that are caused by cross-talk between nearby pixels.

An electroluminescent display and a driving device of the electroluminescent display are discussed. The electroluminescent display includes first and second active areas divided from a screen, a first timing controller configured to transmit the pixel data of the first active area to be displayed on the first active area to a first driving circuit writing pixel data to pixels of the first active area, a second timing controller configured to transmit the pixel data of the second active area to be displayed on the second active area to a second driving circuit writing pixel data to pixels of the second active area, and a bridge circuit configured to distribute an input image to the first and second timing controllers, detect a logo data block from the input image, and transmit the logo data block to the first and second timing controllers.

An error diffusion unit generates difference error addition data by adding, to pixel data of a target pixel among pixels in a display element, neighboring error data and difference error data of a pixel processed immediately before, and generates error diffusion data using data on a high-order bit amide of the difference error addition data. The error diffusion unit calculates error data of the target pixel using data on a low-order bit side of the difference error addition data, and calculates difference error data to be added to pixel data of a pixel to be processed subsequently, using a difference between the error data of the target pixel and the error data of the neighboring pixels.

A display device includes a plurality of light emitting devices included in a pixel, and a control circuit configured to define each of a plurality of subframe periods included in a frame period during which a frame image is displayed as one of an emission period in which the light emitting device is in an emission state and a non-emission period in which the light emitting device is in a non-emission state, and to control emission of the light emitting device, based on a gradation value of the pixel.

An image display device includes a first pixel data calculator calculating first pixel data for a pixel of attention based on a first error value for a pixel adjacent thereto in the same error diffusion block; a second pixel data calculator calculating second pixel data for the pixel of attention based on a corrected error value for the adjacent pixel; a first error value calculator calculating the first error value based on the first pixel data; a second error value calculator calculating a second error value based on the second pixel data; and a corrected error value calculator calculating the corrected error value by correcting the second error value in a direction in which the second error value approaches the first error value in accordance with whether the pixel of attention is located within a predetermined range from a border among a plurality of error diffusion blocks.

Devices and methods for error diffusion and spatiotemporal dithering are provided. By way of example, a method of operating a display includes receiving a pixel input, a set of pixel coordinates, and a current frame number. A kernel and a particular kernel bit of the kernel is selected from a set of kernels, based upon the pixel input, the pixel coordinates, the frame number, or any combination thereof. A dithered output is determined based at least in part upon the kernel bit. When the display is in a diamond pixel configuration, the dithered output is applied in accordance with a diamond pattern formed by red, blue, or red and blue pixel channels.

A display apparatus and an image data processing method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes a first display panel, a second display panel and a backlight module. The image processing method includes: receiving image data; detecting an ambient temperature and an ambient brightness to obtain a detection result; when the ambient temperature is lower than a preset temperature value, selecting the image data to be divided into a plurality block data by display location or gray level range according to the ambient brightness, and performing a blur process on the block data to generate adjusted image data; when the ambient temperature is not lower than the preset temperature value, performing a binary process on the image data to generate the adjusted image data; and driving the second display panel according to the adjust image data.

An image is rendered on a display having a limited number of primary colors by (104) combining input data representing the color of a pixel to be rendered with error data to form modified input data, determining in a color space the simplex (208typically a tetrahedron) enclosing the modified input data and the primary colors associated with the simplex, converting (210) the modified image data to barycentric coordinates based upon the primary colors associated with the simplex and (212) setting output data to the primary having the largest barycentric coordinate. calculating (214) the difference between the modified input data and the output data for the pixel, thus generating error data, applying (106) this error data to at least one later-rendered pixel, and applying the output data to the display and thus rendering the image on the display. Apparatus and computer-storage media for carrying out this process are also provided.

A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for displaying a portion of data so as to not obstruct a portion of a central visual field. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a display configured to display data and a processing device coupled to the display. The processing device may be configured to determine a position of an eye of a viewer with respect to the display, define a first region of the display substantially corresponding with a peripheral vision field of the eye, define a second region of the display substantially corresponding with a central visual field of the eye, send a first portion of the data to be displayed at the first region, and send a second portion of the data to be displayed at the second output region such that a portion of the central visual field is unobstructed by the second portion of the data.
