摘要:
A method of producing a plurality of filter kernels comprised of filter coefficients for use in a sub-pixel rendering operation comprises calculating a plurality of filter coefficients for each filter kernel by dividing a spatial area of an input image that is overlapped by a portion of a spatial rendering area by a total area of the spatial rendering area using floating point arithmetic. The method further comprises multiplying each filter coefficient by a divisor to produce a filter product such that a sum of all filter products produces a filter sum that equals the divisor. Then a binary search operation is performed to find a round off point for the filter sum such that when each filter coefficient is converted to an integer, a sum of the filter coefficients equals the divisor. The filter coefficients are then converted to integers using the round off point.

Methods are disclosed to render image data over time. In one embodiment, a mapping from image data values to first and second sets of subpixels in a plurality of output frames uses brightness versus viewing angle performance measures to reduce color error when the image is viewed on the display panel at an off-normal viewing angle. In another embodiment, temporal subpixel rendering is used to improve the viewing angle in LCD displays or to improve subpixel rendering in other display technologies.

Systems and methods are disclosed to effect a gamut conversion of source image data to a target image data set for rendering on a device with possibly a different gamut. One gamut conversion system comprises an input channel means, a gamma unit, a chorma/luma unit, a hue angle calculator, and a gamut conversion unit. The input channel means receives source image data. The gamma unit converts the source image data into perceptually uniform space data. The chroma/luma unit converts the preceptiually uniform space data into a format comprising chroma and luma components. The hue angle calculator receives at least the chroma components from the chroma/luma unit and calculates hue angles for the source image data based on received components. The gamut conversion unit derives gamut conversion values to apply to the components of the source image data using a gamut conversion table.

A display system includes a subpixelated display panel having subpixels in two saturated primary colors. In one embodiment, the primary colors are selected so as to be a substantially metameric pair for an achromatic color such as white. Information display efficiencies arise from utilizing a checkerboard arrangement for the two primary colored subpixels and from using subpixel rendering algorithms to render an image on the display. The bichromatic display may display a black and white image combined with a monochromatic image, or may provide the capability to overlay a first image from a first image source carried on a chromatic channel onto a second image from a second image source carried on a luminance channel, where the first image source detects light wavelengths that the Human Vision System is not sensitive to, such as infrared light. This latter embodiment of the bichromatic display system is suitable for night vision devices.

An array comprising a plurality of three-color pixel elements is disclosed. The three-color pixel element has square design disposed at the origin of an X, Y coordinate system. Disposed at the center of the square is a blue emitter. Red emitters are disposed in the second and fourth quadrants not occupied by the blue emitter and green emitters are disposed in the first and third quadrants not occupied by the blue emitter. The blue emitter is square shaped, having corners aligned at the X and Y axes of the coordinate system, and the opposing pairs of red and green emitters are generally square shaped, having truncated inwardly-facing corners forming edges parallel to the sides of the blue emitter. The plurality of three-color pixel elements may be arranged in rows and columns to form a display. Each emitter has a transistor. The column lines and row lines are doubled to allow for the transistors of the red emitters and green emitters to be gathered together into the interstitial corners between the three-color pixel elements creating combined transistor groups. With the transistors grouped together, the combined transistors groups and the blue emitters both become less visible, virtually vanishing from sight almost entirely.
