In one embodiment, a computing system may receive a target image with a first number of bits per color and access a seed mask from a storage media. The system may generate a set of masks based on the seed mask. Each of the masks may include a number of first dot patterns that observe a spatial stacking property. The system may generate a number of images based on the target image and the set of masks. Each of the images may have a second number of bits per color smaller than the first number of bits per color. The system may display the images sequentially in time domain on a display for representing the target image. The images may have a number of second dot patterns for representing corresponding grayscale values. The second dot patterns of the images may observe a temporal stacking property across the images.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, and computer readable media for generating images on a display using a dithering process that takes into account an uneven spacing of available gray scale values in at least one color subfield used to generate the images. The dithering process includes generating a set of initial color subfields, a set of quantized color subfields, and a set of final color subfields, which are then output on the display. The quantized color subfields an the final color subfields are derived based at least in part on the uneven spacing of gray scale values in at least one of the final color subfields.

In one embodiment, a computing system may determine, a target pixel value for a pixel of a current subframe of a series of N subframes. The series of N subframes may be displayed consequently in a time domain. The system may determine an aggregated target pixel value of target pixel values of the pixel in subframes prior to the current subframe in the series of N subframes. The system may determine an aggregated actual pixel value of displayed pixel values of the pixel in the subframes prior to the current subframe in the series of N subframes. The system may determine an aggregated quantization error based on a difference between the aggregated target pixel value and the aggregated actual pixel value. The system may determine a compensated target pixel value based on the target pixel value and the aggregated quantization error.

A wearable display apparatus has a headset for display from left-eye and right-eye near-eye catadioptric pupil-forming optical systems, each defining an exit pupil. Each optical system has an image generator to direct image-bearing light for a 2D image from an emissive surface. A curved reflective surface along the view axis is partially transmissive and defines a curved intermediate focal surface. A beam splitter reflects light toward the curved reflective surface. An image relay optically conjugates the formed image with a curved aerial image formed in air at the curved intermediate focal surface. The image relay has a prism having an input surface facing the emissive surface of the image generator, an output surface facing the curved intermediate focal surface, and a folding surface between input and output surfaces for folding the optical path for light generated by the image generator. An aperture stop for the relay is within the prism.

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a data driver and a driving controller. The display panel is configured to display an image based on input image data. The data driver is configured to output a data voltage to the display panel. The driving controller includes a frequency adjuster circuit configured to determine a driving frequency of the display panel, and a dithering circuit configured to change a grayscale value of the input image data according to frames. The frequency adjuster circuit is configured to determine the driving frequency of the display panel based on the input image data and based on whether the dithering part is activated.

A system may include an electronic display panel having multiple pixels for depicting image data and processing circuitry that may receive a first error value representative of a first difference between a first electrical signal measured at a first pixel of the multiple pixels and an expected electrical signal for the first pixel. The first electrical signal may be based on a test signal transmitted to the first pixel and the expected electrical signal may correspond to an expected response of the first pixel based on the test signal. The processing circuitry may filter the first error value to generate a first compensated error value and may filter the first error value based on the first compensated error value to generate a second compensated error value, where the second compensated error value may filter one or more effects of spatial crosstalk between one or more pixels near the first pixel.

A display device including a display panel including a plurality of pixels, and a driver configured to drive the display panel. The driver includes a dither configured to perform a dithering operation on image data including a plurality of pixel data for the plurality of pixels to generate dithered image data including a plurality of dithered pixel data respectively corresponding to the plurality of pixel data, and a still image detector configured to receive the dithered image data, to detect dither-irrelevant pixel data that are not changed from the plurality of pixel data by the dithering operation among the plurality of dithered pixel data, and to determine whether the dithered image data represent a still image by using the dither-irrelevant pixel data.

In one embodiment, a computing system may determine a target grayscale value associated with a target image to be represented by a plurality of subframes. The system may determine grayscale ranges based on the target grayscale value. Each grayscale range may correspond to a combination of zero or more subframes of the plurality of subframes. The system may select dot subsets from a dithering mask based on the grayscale ranges. Each of the dot subsets may correspond to a grayscale range. The system may generate the subframes based on (1) the selected dot subsets and (2) respective combinations of zero or more subframes. The subframes may have a smaller number of bits per color than the target frame. The system may display the subframes sequentially in time domain on a display to represent the target image.

A method for displaying an image on an image displaying device includes the steps of: comparing gray scale level of an image signal for the light emitting element with given threshold level; and when the gray scale level is higher than the threshold level, driving the light emitting element by a driving signal corresponding to the gray scale level, and when the gray scale level is lower than the threshold level, driving the light emitting element by a dithering driving signal including a driving signal corresponding to the threshold level.
