An apparatus and a method that decrease a banding phenomenon in a subsampled image and achieve high image quality are provided. A subsampled image obtained by copying an adjacent pixel value to a pixel value thinning position is accepted as an input image; a correction target signal global gain is calculated as a ratio between a slope of a correction target signal and a slope of a luminance signal of a global region made up of a plurality of consecutive pixels including a pixel position of the correction target pixel of the input image; a luminance local slope is calculated as a slope of the luminance signal of a local region which is a region within the global region, including the pixel position of the correction target pixel of the input image and smaller than the global region; and a corrected pixel value of the correction target pixel is calculated.

The present disclosure generally relates to a method and device of converting a HDR version of a picture to a SDR version of this picture. The method is characterized in that it converts the HDR version to the SDR version of the picture according to: a first indicator that indicates the presence of color mapping parameters; a second indicator that indicates whether a device is configured to convert the HDR version to the SDR version of the picture by taking into account said color mapping parameters; and a third indicator that indicates whether converting without taking into account said color mapping parameters is inhibited.

A data processing method includes mapping original data in ARGB format into mapped data in RGB format, and sending the mapped data to a data receiving terminal through a first display serial interface (DSI) for the data receiving terminal to receive the mapped data through a second DSI and to inversely map the mapped data to obtain the original data.

A conversion method for converting luminance of a video, including a luminance value in a first luminance range, to be displayed on a display apparatus includes: acquiring a first luminance signal indicating a code value obtained by quantization of the luminance value of the video; and converting the code value indicated by the acquired first luminance signal into a second luminance value determined based on a luminance range of the display apparatus, the second luminance value being compatible with a second luminance range with a maximum value smaller than a maximum value of the first luminance range and larger than 100 nit. This provides the conversion method capable of achieving further improvement.

A circuit for performing demura operation for a display panel of a computerized device is provided. The circuit includes an arithmetic unit for converting input luminance codes (e.g., grayscale codes) that correspond to a first group of pixels to output luminance codes by computation, and a lookup table unit having a storage module for mapping input luminance codes that correspond to a second group of pixels to output luminance codes. Such a configuration uses the lookup table unit to replace some computations for demura operation, thereby reducing time and power required for demura operation.
