Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The display may have a number of independently controllable viewing zones. Each viewing zone displays a respective two-dimensional image. Each eye of the viewer may receive a different one of the two-dimensional images, resulting in a perceived three-dimensional image. The electronic device may include display pipeline circuitry that generates and processes content to be displayed on the lenticular display. Content generating circuitry may initially generate content that includes a plurality of two-dimensional images, each two-dimensional image corresponding to a respective viewing zone. Pre-processing circuitry may subsequently anisotropically resize each two-dimensional image. Pixel mapping circuitry may then be used to map the resized two-dimensional images to the array of pixels in the lenticular display.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. To mitigate jaggedness in a curved edge of the active area, control circuitry may modify input pixel data for the display using dimming factors. Each brightness value of the pixel data may be multiplied by a corresponding dimming factor such that the curved edge has a smooth appearance. Each physical pixel in the display may have an associated perceived pixel that is based on an appearance of that physical pixel through the lenticular lens film. The perceived pixel may have a different footprint than its corresponding physical pixel. The dimming factors for boundary smoothing in the curved edges may be based on the perceived pixels.

After pixel mapping, additional panel-level processing may be performed.

Abstract: In accordance with some implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a see-through display. The method includes determining a plurality of light superposition characteristic values associated with ambient light from a physical environment. The plurality of light superposition characteristic values quantifies the ambient light. The method includes modifying image data in order to generate modified image data, based on a function of the plurality of light superposition characteristic values and a reference perceptual gamut. The method includes transforming the modified image data into display data based on a function of a portion of the plurality of light superposition characteristic values and a reference physical gamut that is associated with the see-through display. The method includes displaying the display data on the see-through display.
