    Abstract: Systems and techniques described herein may correct for chromatic deviations due to ambient dependent color perception in low-light conditions and/or bright-light conditions. Processing circuitry may determine a first and a second strength parameter based on an ambient brightness value, an intended display brightness value, one or more vectors, and a two-dimensional look up table. If the first strength parameter is greater than zero, then the processing circuitry may apply chromatic corrections based on luminance and chrominance compensation functions in an opponent color space. For example, per-pixel gains may be determined based on global curves and applied as a function of pixel value (e.g., luminance component). If the first strength parameter is less than zero and the second strength parameter is greater than zero, the processing circuitry may determine chromatic corrections based on a three-dimensional lookup table that may be programmable based on a strength parameter and/or a gain value.

    Abstract: Image processing circuitry may include burn-in compensation circuitry that receives image data indicative of luminance outputs for display pixels of an electronic display and compensates the image data for burn-in related aging associated with the display pixels, generating compensated image data. Moreover, compensating the image data may include applying gains based on estimated amounts of aging associated with the display pixels and estimated amounts of current to be delivered to the display pixels. The image processing circuitry may also include burn-in statistics circuitry that tracks the estimated amounts of aging based on the compensated image data.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided to selectively perform a frame replay at various stages of an image processing pipeline for an electronic display. Image processing circuitry may include first compensation circuitry that compensates for a first compensation factor relating to a first physical parameter of an electronic display and second compensation circuitry that compensates for a second compensation factor relating to a second physical parameter of the electronic display. A first tap point that enables the image frame to be stored and reused may be located between the first compensation circuitry and the second compensation circuitry, while a second tap point may be located after the second compensation circuitry.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed towards tone mapping systems and methods that preserve contrast of fine features of an image and avoid brightening monotonic regions of the image. To preserve contrast and avoiding brightening of the monotonic regions, an image processing circuitry may include hardware that enables determining pixel statistics of an image, generating a tone mapping that is configured to adjust the color values of pixels in the image, and applying the tone mapping to at least the low frequency component of the image to produce an output image where the contrast of the fine details is preserved. In addition, the image processing circuitry may include hardware that enables adjusting the tone mapping based on variance bins in a histogram of pixel values and applying the adjusted tone mapping to produce an output image where the monotonic regions are not brightened.

    Abstract: A device may include an electronic display having multiple illuminators that generate light at a first wavelength and a quantum dot layer that converts a portion of the light from the first wavelength to a second wavelength. The first wavelength may vary based on a brightness level of the illuminator, and the amount of light generated by the illuminator that is converted to the second wavelength may vary based on the first wavelength. The electronic display may also include a display pixel to regulate the light emitted from the electronic display at a pixel location based on compensated image data. The device may also include image processing circuitry to determine a luminance contribution to the light from the illuminator for the pixel location, determine per color component compensation values based on the luminance contribution, and generate the compensated image data based on the per color component compensation values.
