A display device correction method includes: obtaining, in advance, first correction data for correcting a luminance signal; performing a first transform including applying an error diffusion method to the first correction data to transform the first correction data into second correction data; performing a second transform including thinning, via a predetermined thinning method, the second correction data by removing at least one but not all of the correction data components to transform the second correction data into third correction data; performing a third transform including interpolation, via a predetermined interpolation method, using pixel data components included in the third correction data, to transform the third correction data into fourth correction data; and correcting the luminance signal using the fourth correction data. In the first transform, based on the predetermined thinning method and interpolation method, the transform is performed such that the second correction data matches the fourth correction data.

Provided are a timing controller and a display device including the same. The timing controller in one embodiment includes a bit selecting unit, an error calculating unit, and a dithering unit. The bit selecting unit is configured to fix an m bit data value of n+m bit input image data for a plurality of subpixels as a fixed data value, where n and m are integers. The error calculating unit is configured to calculate an error between the fixed data value fixed by the bit selecting unit and the m bit data value of the input image data before fixed by the bit selecting unit. The dithering unit is configured to generate n bit output image data dithered to correct the error.

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.

From a statistical distribution of different color states in an image subdivided in pixels, pixel color states are selected by performing comparisons between predetermined values and values associated to per-pixel state probabilities. Errors (based on drifts between selected color states and per-pixel state probabilities) are diffused to per-pixel state probabilities of subsequent pixels.

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 machine-implemented method includes obtaining input data and generating output data. The status of at least one contextual factor is determined and compared with a standard. If the status meets the standard, a transformation is applied to the output data. The output data is then outputted to the viewer. Through design and/or selection of contextual factors, standards, and transformations, output data may be selectively outputted to viewers in a context-suitable fashion, e.g. on a head mounted display the viewer's central vision may be left unobstructed while the viewer walks, drives, etc. An apparatus includes at least one sensor that senses a contextual factor. A processor determines the status of the contextual factor, determines if the status meets a standard, generates output data, and applies a transformation to the output data if the status meets the standard. A display outputs the output data to the viewer.

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.
