摘要： Display apparatus, and methods for displaying images, e.g., text, on gray scale and color monitors where each pixel includes multiple pixel sub-components are described. Filtering and/or displaced sampling is used to generate pixel sub-component luminous intensity values. As a result of treating pixel sub-components as distinct light emitters corresponding to different image portions, resolution is enhanced but color errors may be introduced into the image being displayed. Various techniques for detecting noticeable and/or distracting color errors are described. In addition, various techniques for correcting, compensating for, or reducing color errors are described. In one particular embodiment, red, green and blue pixel sub-component luminous intensity values are examined and compared to a range of luminous intensity values which is determined as a function of utilized foreground and background pixel colors. Pixel sub-component luminous intensity values which are determined to be outside the range of acceptable values are adjusted to fall within the range of acceptable values. In one particular embodiment, individual pixel sub-component luminous intensity values outside the range of acceptable values are clamped to the nearer of the foreground or background pixel sub-component luminous intensity value of the correspondingly colored pixel sub-component. In another embodiment sequential red and blue filters are used to reduce or compensate for color distortions.

摘要： The resolution of text rendered on a display device having sub-pixel elements, such as an RGB LCD for example, and in particular, on a display device having horizontal striping is enhanced by (i) overscaling (or oversampling) character outline information in the vertical (or Y) direction, and (ii) filtering displaced information from the overscaled (or oversampled) character outline information. Metrics associated with character outline information may be appropriately adjusted. The vertical (or Y) position of the baseline of adjacent characters may be constrained by forcing the first pixel above the baseline to be composed of a full number N of scan conversion source samples, where N corresponds to an overscaling (or oversampling) factor. Groups of scan conversion source samples may be converted into packed pixel index values. Color values may be selectively filtered when the differences in the intensity of adjacent sub-pixel elements would otherwise be irritating to view. Finally, the gamma of the pixel values may be corrected so that the gamma of the display device is considered and so that intensity values of sub-pixel elements fall within a range of intensities in which gamma correction is more useful.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for utilizing pixel sub-components which form a pixel element of an LCD display, e.g., as separate luminous intensity elements, are described. Each pixel of a color LCD display is comprised of three non-overlapping red, green and blue rectangular pixel sub-elements or sub-components. The invention takes advantage of the ability to control individual RGB pixel sub-elements to effectively increase a screen's resolution in the dimension perpendicular to the dimension in which the screen is striped, e.g., the RGB pixel sub-elements are arranged lengthwise. In order to utilize the effective resolution which can be obtained by treating RGB pixel sub-components separately, scaling or super sampling of digital representations of fonts is performed in one dimension at a rate that is greater than the scaling or sampling performed in the other dimension. In some embodiments where weighting is used in determining RGB pixel values, e.g., during scan conversion, the super sampling is a function of the weighting. During a scan conversion operation, RGB pixel sub-component values are independently determined from different portions of a scaled image. The scan conversion process may involve use of different weights for each color component. Processing to compensate for color distortions, e.g., color fringing, introduced by treating each pixel sub-component as an independent element is described. For horizontally flowing text applications, screens with vertical as opposed to horizontal striping are preferred.

摘要： Color processing operations can be used to reduce color artifacts in images displayed on display devices having pixels with separately controllable pixel sub-components. Different regions of image data are mapped to the individual pixel sub-components of the pixels. In the absence of performing the color processing operations, distracting color artifacts can be generated in the displayed image as a result of the pixel sub-components being treated as independent luminous intensity sources. Color artifacts can be reduced by comparing the difference between the luminous intensity values of adjacent red and green pixel sub-components with a threshold value and adjusting the luminous intensity values so as to reduce the difference if it exceeds the threshold value. Color artifacts can also be reduced by performing a gray scaling operation on pixels having an overall luminance that is less than the luminance associated with a foreground color and also less than the luminance associated with a background color. Color artifacts can also be reduced by adjusting the luminous intensity values if a pixel has a color that falls outside a selected range of acceptable mixes of the foreground and background colors.

摘要： Display apparatus, and methods for displaying images, e.g., text, on gray scale and color monitors are described. Gray scale displays implemented in accordance with the present invention include displays having a resolution in a first dimension, e.g., the horizontal dimension, which is several time the resolution in a second dimension, e.g., the vertical dimension. Various other displays of the present invention are capable of operating as both gray scale and color display devices. In one such display, the color filter used to implement a color portion of the display is omitted from another, e.g., gray scale portion of the same display. In such an embodiment, text, e.g., captions, are displayed using the gray scale portion of the display while color images, e.g., graphics, are displayed on the color portion of the display. In another display of the present invention, a color filter with filter cells that can be switched between a color and a clear mode of operation are employed. When images, e.g., text, are to be displayed as gray scale images, the filter cells, corresponding to the portion of the display to be used to display the gray scale images, are switched to the clear mode of operation. In such an embodiment, the remaining portion or portions of the display may be used to display color images. Methods and apparatus for reducing and/or eliminating color distortions in images resulting from treating pixel sub-components as independent luminous intensity sources are also described.

摘要： Displaying image data with sub-pixel precision on display devices having pixels with separately controllable pixel sub-components, such as those used in liquid crystal display devices. Samples of the image data are obtained, and spatially different sets of one or more of the samples are mapped to individual pixel sub-components as opposed to mapping sets of samples to entire pixels. Luminous intensity values based on the mapped sets of samples are generated and used to control the operation of the separately controllable pixel sub-components. The image is thereby displayed on the display device, with different portions of the image being represented by different pixel sub-components, resulting an image with sub-pixel resolution. The image data can represent a text character, in which case the stem width of a stem of the text character can have a value that is not an integer multiple of the width of a full pixel.
