A method of driving a display uses first ( 4 ) and second ( 5 ) illumination cycles of the display. In each cycle, a first set of pixels ( 1′ ) is illuminated with a first color (R, G) and a second set of pixels ( 2′ ) is illuminated with a second color (G, B). The first and second colors of the two cycles together include at least three colors (R, G, B) for forming an image. This method provides a sequential drive scheme, in that at least two cycles are used with different color properties. However, each cycle uses at least two different colors, so that each cycle is not a single color across the whole display area. In this way, the color sequence is alternated spatially as well as temporally.

A text colorization system is described herein that automatically sets foreground text color based on one or more background colors over which the text is displayed. The text colorization system identifies a background color neighboring each pixel of a string of text. For each pixel region, the system selects a color to satisfy one or more colorization criteria. Next, the system sets the text color at each region based on the selected color. The system then displays the layered image to the user, such as through a computer display or mobile device display. Thus, the text colorization system provides readable text in the presence of layered graphics displays.

Selective compensation for age-related non uniformities in display

Номер: US20120133835A1
Принадлежит: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS NV

A video signal compensator ( 10, 70, 80, 290 ) for selectively compensating for age-related non-uniformities in a display, receives an indication of motion or detects motion in an incoming video signal, and receives or determines an indication of amounts of compensation for the different parts of the display needed to compensate for the non-uniformities. The compensator selectively applies the needed amount of compensation to the video signal according to the indicated motion to apply less of the needed compensation where there is less motion, over at least some of the range of possible motions. This can reduce the drive levels at least where the non uniformities are less visible because of the motion in the video. The reduced drive levels can lead to less ageing and thus prolong display life. The amounts of needed compensation can be predicted or determined from measured outputs of pixels of the display.
