An organic light emitting display apparatus includes a first data line, a comparator, and a data generator. The first data line is connected to a first pixel. The comparator compares first image data of input image data to at least one of a first critical grayscale value or a second critical grayscale value, where the first image data corresponds to the first pixel. The data generator determines the first critical grayscale value or the second critical grayscale value as first corrected image data when the first image data is equal to or greater than the first critical grayscale value but lower than the second critical grayscale value.

An electronic device may include an electronic display to display an image, based in part on display image data that indicates target luminance of the image using a first bit-depth, and a display pipeline. The display pipeline may include dither processing circuitry to determine a pixel cluster of multiple pixel groups of input image data that indicates target luminance using a second bit-depth greater than the first bit-depth. The dither processing circuitry may also determine a phase combination which associates a different dither phase to each of the pixel groups. The dither processing circuitry may also determine and apply a dither pattern and a dither phase to each pixel group to generate dithered image data corresponding with the display image data with the first bit-depth. The dither pattern may be based in part on the least significant bits of input image data of the pixel groups.

Techniques for displaying a quality-improved image with reduced power consumption are provided. In one embodiment, a display panel driver is provided that includes a dithering section configured to receive first m-bit image data and configured to generate second image data by performing dithering on the first image data with n-bit dither values each selected from elements of a dither table, and a driver circuit configured to drive the source lines of a display panel in response to the second image data. In generating the second image data corresponding to first pixels belonging to a first pixel column, the dither values are selected from elements in a first column of the dither table, while the second image data corresponding to second pixels belonging to a second pixel column adjacent to the first pixel column, the dither values are selected from elements in a second column of the dither table.

A storage device stores dither patterns composed of a three-dimensional block consisting of the number H of dots in a horizontal direction x the number V of lines in a vertical direction x the number F in a frame direction. Each value from a minimum value to a maximum value of dither values of n bits is written in each address of the storage device. When each value is written into the storage device, processing of obtaining a spatiotemporal density value indicating a degree of density of an address in which a dither value has already been written in a three-dimensional predetermined area centered on each of the addresses in which a new dither value is writable, and processing of selecting an address having the smallest spatiotemporal density value among the addresses in which a new dither value is writable and writing a dither value are repeated.

A display device may include a pixel unit which includes pixels, a driver which drives the pixel unit based on image data, a voltage generator which provides a driving voltage to the pixel unit, and a global current manager including a compensation voltage generator which receives a comparison result between a sensing current of the pixel unit and a reference current range generated based on the image data from a comparator and generates a compensation voltage for controlling the driving voltage, and a compensation data generator which generates compensation data for controlling grayscale values of the image data in a dithering method based on the comparison result.

A color information extraction section extracts color information from image information. A luminance information extraction section extracts luminance information for controlling the luminance of a backlight based on the color information. A dithering section adds bits for dithering to the lower bit side of the luminance information and outputs the luminance information after the addition to a display apparatus as output luminance information. An image color correction section corrects the color of the image information based on the color information and outputs the corrected image information to the display apparatus as output image information. An upper bit comparison section compares upper bits of the luminance information, upper bits of the output luminance information, and upper bits of the output image information with each other.

Examples described herein include a graphics processing apparatus that includes a memory device and a display engine coupled to the memory device. The display engine is configured to apply dither on a region of an image and modify a first pixel of an image stored in the memory based on pseudo-random noise to reduce color banding impressions. In some examples, the pseudo-random noise is based on one or more of: local brightness estimation and one or more prior noise levels. In some examples, the display engine is to determine the local brightness estimation based on an average brightness of a pixel region surrounding the first pixel and the first pixel. In some examples, the display engine is configured to bound the pseudo-random noise based on a noise applied to a pixel in a same position as that of the first pixel in a prior frame within a same scene.

An electronic device is disclosed that includes a display panel, a data driving circuit, a scan driving circuit, and a driving controller. The driving controller generates image data based on a received image signal. The driving controller includes a minimum emission gray level determining unit that determines a gray level of the image signal, a pattern determining unit that determines a dither pattern of the image signal, a driving frequency sensing unit that determines a driving frequency of the image signal, and a data compensation unit that compensates for the image data based on the gray level and at least one of the dither pattern and the driving frequency.

Devices and methods for reducing or eliminating spatiotemporal dithering image artifacts are provided. By way of example, a method includes providing positive polarity and negative polarity data signals to a plurality of pixels of a display during a first frame period, in which the first frame period corresponds a first spatiotemporal rotation phase. The method includes providing the positive polarity signals and the negative polarity signals to the plurality of pixels of the display during a second frame period, in which the second frame period corresponds a second spatiotemporal rotation phase. A spatiotemporal rotation phase sequence provided to the display comprises the first spatiotemporal rotation phase and the second spatiotemporal rotation phase. One of the first spatiotemporal rotation phase and the second spatiotemporal rotation phase of the spatiotemporal rotation phase sequence is altered during the first frame period or the second time period.
