A liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus (100) includes a display unit (10) to which image signals are sequentially scanned; and an image processing unit (30) which compensates the image signals to have different compensation levels according to points in time when they are scanned to the display unit (10), using a previous frame image signal, a current frame image signal and a plurality of compensation tables, and outputs the compensated image signals to the display unit (10) as the current frame. Thus, the present invention provides a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus (100) improved in response speed and a displaying method thereof.
Abstract:
An apparatus for response time compensation includes a compression module, a decompression module, a display element response time compensation module, and a bypass control module. The compression module compresses a current frame to produce a compressed previous frame of image information. The decompression module decompresses the compressed previous frame of image information to produce a decompressed previous frame of image information. The display element response time compensation module provides display compensation information for a display based on the current frame and the decompressed previous frame. The bypass control module causes the current frame information to selectively bypass the compression module, the decompression module, and/or the display element response time compensation module based on display mode information.

Abstract:
A display device is provided that includes: an unevenness correction information storage unit that stores unevenness correction information used to correct uneven light emission of the display unit; and an unevenness correction unit that corrects uneven light emission of the display unit by reading out the unevenness correction information from the unevenness correction information storage unit and by performing signal processing on the video signal having a linear characteristic. The unevenness correction unit corrects the uneven light emission of the display unit by combining a first correction that is applied in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction of the display unit, and a second correction that is applied to a section of the display unit in which uneven light emission is occurring.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal panel displays an image from image signals. A backlight device is disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal panel, and is divided into a plurality of regions. The backlight device comprises light sources in each of the regions. The light sources are positioned to emit light onto the liquid crystal panel. A histogram detector detects an image signal gradation distribution for each region and to produce a histogram therefrom. An image gain calculator calculates a gain from the detected gradation distribution of the histogram detector, and controls light emission from each light source in each region of the backlight device. A light emission luminance calculator controls the light emission luminance of each light source based on a maximum luminance of the light sources and based on an inverse number of the gain calculated in the image gain calculator.

Abstract:
A display has a spatial light modulator 10 for dynamically controlling a luminance of each pixel according to an input signal, the spatial light modulator having a non uniform spatial characteristic, the display also having an optical filter 20 having a spatial pattern to alter the luminance to compensate at least partially for the non uniform spatial characteristic. An electronic signal processing element applies some pre compensation predominantly of higher spatial frequencies for the non uniform spatial characteristic. Such dynamic and optical compensation can enable tuning for different optimizations or for compensating for variations over time. A backlight has an optical source and an optical filter, the source having a colour output which has a non uniform spatial characteristic, and the optical filter having a spatial pattern to alter the colour to compensate in part at least for the non uniform spatial characteristic.

Abstract:
A display system that achieves a gamma characteristic different than 1, such as a gamma characteristic of 2 for example. The gamma characteristic may be selectable and it may be selectable via timing characteristics rather than by varying the intensity of the light source. Defective memory registers are also compensated for by selecting them to store bits of relatively lower significance.
