The e-paper display respectively displays the standard images. Actual grayscale values of each pixel of the e-paper display, from a first actual grayscale value corresponding to the first standard image to the N-th actual grayscale value corresponding to the N-th standard image, are obtained. Each m-th actual grayscale value is compared with an m-th-level grayscale value to generate an m-th compensating matrix, wherein m is a positive integer from 1 to N. Therefore, compensating matrices from a first compensating matrix to an N-th compensating matrix are generated and used to compensate an input image of the e-paper display. | 2013-02-14 |
20130038623 | COMPUTER DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM AND CONTROL METHOD - A computer device is provided, in which in a case where a user manipulates characters displayed on a touch screen via a manipulation section displayed on the display, the user can easily figure out images located behind and overlapping with the manipulation section. A game machine includes a virtual manipulation section display module (virtual manipulation section display means) for displaying on a touch screen, a virtual manipulation section which accepts a user's manipulation; and a display color changing module (display color changing means) for changing display color information of the virtual manipulation section in response to the user's manipulation. | 2013-02-14 |
