摘要： The invention relates to a method and a device for encoding the luminance value of a pixel of a picture into a subfield code word in a display device. It can be applied to every display device using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology and subfields for displaying video picture. It can be used to compensate for any luminance problem that can be estimated. The general idea of the recursive coding is to encode one sub-field after the other in order to be able to compensate for problems occurring on one sub-field with the other sub-fields. More particularly, the bits of a subfield code word are computed recursively one after the other such that the defects (e.g. line load and/or linearity) in the light emission or luminance generated by a bit of the subfield code word can be compensated by the following bits of the subfield code word.

摘要： The sharpness impression when displaying a movement on an AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Display) shall be improved. For this purpose, an apparatus for driving a cell of an AMOLED is provided including driving means (14, 16) for applying a driving voltage to the cell and for applying a luminance control signal to the cell during a pregiven time frame. The apparatus further includes controlling means (17, 18) for varying the driving voltage within the time frame according to a predefined function of time. For example, the driving voltage may be varied in the form of a triangle so that the lighting time over the frame is reduced while a CRT like behavior is emulated.

摘要： The EMI spectrum of a display device is to comply with respective norms. Therefore, the clock for loading data into data drivers of a display panel is designed to be variable. Consequently, the electromagnetic radiation produced by the loading clock is broadened thereby reducing the peak amplitude. Thus, the limitations of radiation norms can be complied with.

摘要： The picture quality on a plasma display panel shall be improved when the contrast and/or the brightness are reduced. This is achieved by estimating the reduction of the dynamic occurring in the front-end (2) of the data processing of the plasma display device and by compensating it in the back-end (3). Specifically, the gain and/or offset of the video input data are adjusted (5) and the power level of the adjusted video data is measured (10). The resulting power level information is updated (13) on the basis of an attenuation information (12). The updated power level is used for the power management (9) and the level of the video data being reduced (5) in the front-end (2) is increased (14) on the basis of the attenuation information. Thus, the dynamic of the video and, as a result, the picture quality are improved.

摘要： The driving of an active matrix organic light emitting display (AMOLED) shall be improved. A pulsing grayscale rendition shall be combined with an improved motion rendition when driving the AMOLED with analog signals. Therefore, there is provided a data signal which is applied to each cell of the AMOLED for displaying a first grayscale level of a pixel of the image during a first group of sub-frames (SFO to SF5)for displaying at least a second grayscale level of a pixel of the image during at least a second group of sub-frames(SF'O to SF'5). The first group of sub-frames (SFO to SF5) and the at least second group of sub-frames (SF'O to SF'5) are constituting a video frame N. Each group of sub-frames is divided into a plurality of sub-frames. Each, the first group of sub-frames and the second group of sub-frames is belonging to a separate complete image of the display (AMOLED). The data signal of a cell comprises plural independent elementary data signals wherein each of the elementary data signals is applied to the cell during a sub-frame and the grayscale level displayed by the cell during the respective group of sub-frames depends on the amplitude of the elementary data signals and the duration of the sub-frames. With this concept, a flicker-free and a very high level of motion rendition can be offered.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for processing video data to be displayed on a display device having a plurality of luminous elements corresponding to the pixels of a video picture, wherein an error diffusion step is applied to at least a part of said video data to refine the grey scale portrayal of said video picture, said error diffusion step comprising, for each current pixel of said part of video picture, a step of truncating the value of the corresponding video data and a step of diffusing the truncation error to at least one neighboring pixel. According to the invention, a noise is inserted on the error before and/or after its diffusion to the neighbouring cells. Owing to this principle no static pattern should be visible, improving the overall picture quality.

摘要： In the field of video displaying the low video levels do not generate large area flicker. For displaying video sources with higher frame rate, it is therefore the idea of the invention, to extract from two corresponding pixels of two successive video frames a common portion (V x ) that will be displayed at a sub-frequency f v /2 while the individual portions (V 1 ',V 2 ') of the corresponding pixels video are displayed at the correct high frequency f v . The time period for displaying two frames is divided into three sub-groups. Two groups of sub-fields with similar sizes, for displaying the individual portions (V 1 ',V 2 ') and one group of sub-fields, called extra-codes, for displaying the common portion (V x ). This enables to eliminate large area flicker artifacts from PDPs, when displaying 50Hz based video norms by using upconverted 100Hz video sequences and to display real high frequency video on the PDP (ca. up to 120Hz) without frame dropping.

摘要： In many cases it is not possible to reproduce enough video levels on a PDP due to timing issues or a specific solution against the false contour effect. In such cases dithering is used to render all required levels. In order to reduce the visibility of the dithering noise there is performed a common change of the sub-field organization together with a modification of the input video data through an appropriate transformation curve based on the human visual system luminance sensitivity (Weber-Fechner law).
