    Abstract: Displays, display components, image and video processing apparatus and related methods are described. A method for driving local-dimming displays comprises generating control values for driving pixels of a spatial light modulator from one image data component and generating control values for driving backlight elements from a second image data component. The first and second image data components may respectively comprise a tone map and a ratio image. Control values for the spatial light modulator and/or backlight may be obtained using cost effective hardware.

    Abstract: Techniques for operating a display system in a wide range of ambient light conditions are provided. An intensity of ambient light on a display panel may be detected. The display panel may be illuminated by light sources in addition to the ambient light. An individual light source may be individually settable to an individual light output level. If it is determined that the luminance level of the ambient light is above a minimum ambient luminance threshold, an ambient black level may be calculated using the intensity of ambient light. Light output levels of one or more of the light sources may be elevated to first light output levels. Here, the one or more light sources may be designated to illuminate one or more dark portions of an image. The first light output levels may create a new black level equaling the determined ambient black level.

    Abstract: Modulated light sources are described. A modulated light source may have first light sources that are configured to emit first light, which has first color components that occupy a range that is beyond one or more prescribed ranges of light wavelengths. The modulated light source may also have a light converter that is configured to be illuminated by the first light. The light converter converts the first light into second light. The second light has one or more second color components that are within the one or more prescribed ranges of light wavelengths. Strengths of the one or more second color components in the second light are monitored and regulated to produce a particular point within a specific color gamut.

    Abstract: A display system comprises light sources configured to emit first light with a first spectral power distribution; light regeneration layers configured to be stimulated by the first light and to convert at least a portion of the first light and recycled light into second light, the second light comprising (a) primary spectral components that correspond to primary colors and (b) secondary spectral components that do not correspond to the primary colors; and notch filter layers configured to receive a portion of the second light and to filter out the secondary spectral components from the portion of the second light. The portion of the second light can be directed to a viewer of the display system and configured to render images viewable to the viewer.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided to encode and decode image data comprising a tone mapped (TM) image with HDR reconstruction data in the form of luminance ratios and color residual values. In an example embodiment, luminance ratio values and residual values in color channels of a color space are generated on an individual pixel basis based on a high dynamic range (HDR) image and a derivative tone-mapped (TM) image that comprises one or more color alterations that would not be recoverable from the TM image with a luminance ratio image. The TM image with HDR reconstruction data derived from the luminance ratio values and the color-channel residual values may be outputted in an image file to a downstream device, for example, for decoding, rendering, and/or storing. The image file may be decoded to generate a restored HDR image free of the color alterations.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for compressing and decompressing MPI videos. According to an example embodiment, a method of compressing an MPI video includes splitting the MPI video into first and second frame sequences including texture and alpha frames of multiplane images, respectively. The method further includes applying sets of preprocessing operations to convert the first frame sequence into a third frame sequence and to convert the second frame sequence into a fourth frame sequence. Example preprocessing operations include, but are not limited to, applying a fill process, thresholding RGB channels based on the corresponding alpha channel, blurring images, computing pixelwise difference values of frames, and computing pixelwise product values of frames. The method also includes applying video compression to the second frame sequence and to the fourth frame sequence.
