Abstract:
A spot detecting apparatus includes a photographing part and a spot detecting part. The photographing part photographs, in a first resolution, an image displayed on a display panel to output first resolution image data, and photograph, in a second resolution, the image displayed on the display panel to output second resolution image data, where the second resolution is higher than the first resolution, and the image displayed on the display panel includes a first spot greater than or equal to a reference size and a second spot less than the reference size. The spot detecting part receives the first resolution image data and the second resolution image data, and subtracts the first resolution image data from the second resolution image data to detect the second spot.
Abstract:
A display device including a display panel includes a plurality of pixels corresponding to a plurality of regions, an image compensator configured to obtain compensation data for the pixels by performing respective sampling compensation operations for the regions, and to generate compensated image data by compensating input image data based on the compensation data, the compensation data being generated by performing at least two of the sampling compensation operations based on respective sampling matrices having different sizes, and a display panel driver configured to drive the display panel to display an image corresponding to the compensated image data on the display panel.
Abstract:
A display panel is divided into multiple areas respectively driven by multiple drivers, and the multiple areas are adjacent to each other along a first direction. An object moves along the first direction between a first frame and a second frame and is displayed on the display panel. The moving speed of the object is compared with a reference speed. A main compensation frame is added between the first frame and the second frame. A first high speed compensation frame is added between the first frame and the main compensation frame when the moving speed is higher than or equal to the reference speed. A first low speed compensation frame is added between the first frame and the main compensation frame when the moving speed is lower than the reference speed, and the first low speed compensation frame is different from the first high speed compensation frame.

A method of driving a display panel is provided. The display panel includes first through n-th gate lines and a plurality of pixels each connected to one of the first through n-th gate lines (where n is a natural number). The method includes charging pixels connected to the n-th gate line with first data voltages corresponding to a first frame image during a first period, charging pixels connected to the first gate line with the first data voltages during the first period, charging the pixels connected to the first gate line with second data voltages corresponding to a second frame image during a second period subsequent to the first period, and charging pixels connected to the second gate line with the second data voltages during the second period.

A method of driving a display panel includes generating corrected grayscale data utilizing a grayscale correction value of a reference pixel including m×n pixels, “m” and “n” being natural numbers greater than zero, and driving M×N pixels of the display panel based on the corrected grayscale data, “M” and “N” being natural numbers greater than zero. “M” is greater than “m” and “N” is greater than “n.”
Abstract:
A method of driving a display panel includes respectively outputting first to j-th, where j is a natural number, gate signals to first to j-th gate lines disposed on a first area of the display panel during a load period when an image is displayed on the display panel due to an output of a data signal to the display panel, adjusting a blank gate voltage during a blank period between load periods to generate an adjusted blank gate voltage, generating a blank gate signal based on the adjusted blank gate voltage, and outputting the blank gate signal. Thus, display quality of a display apparatus may be improved.

A method of compensating a Mura defect of a display apparatus, which includes a display area divided into an upper area and a lower area, includes calculating a sharp grayscale correction value of a predetermined sample grayscale displayed on the display apparatus, where the sharp grayscale correction value is configured to compensate a sharp horizontal Mura between the upper and lower areas, displaying a corrected sample grayscale on the display apparatus based on the predetermined sample grayscale and the sharp grayscale correction value, sensing the corrected sample grayscale displayed on each of a plurality of sample areas defined on the display area based on a Mura type, calculating an intensity profile of the sample grayscale and a target intensity profile configured to compensate the intensity profile of the sample grayscale, calculating a grayscale correction value of the sample area using the intensity profile and the target intensity profile.
Abstract:
A method of driving a display apparatus including generating first gamma correction data of input data using a first gamma look-up table (“LUT”), determining a Mura correction value of the first gamma correction data, adding the Mura correction value to the input data to generate added input data, generating second gamma correction data of the added input data using the first gamma LUT, and driving a pixel in the display panel using the second gamma correction data of the added input data. The Mura correction value is determined after the gamma correction data is generated, and the generating of the added input data is performed prior to any gamma correction being performed on the input data.
