20080231571 | Color Overdrive for Color Sequential Matrix-Type Display Devices - A method and apparatus for increasing the brightness of a color-sequential matrix display, in which the matrix display is addressed on a line-by-line basis, includes dividing a frame period of said matrix display into sub-fields corresponding to the number of light colors being used to sequentially illuminate said matrix display illuminating the display sequentially with said light colors, each for the duration of the corresponding sub-field, and pre-processing the video signal to compensate for errors due to illuminating the display during the addressing time and LC response time. The pre-processing includes determining a direction and an amount of gray scale level change from a preceding sub-field to a current sub-field, and increasing or decreasing the video signal in the current sub-field in dependence on the determined direction of the gray scale level change from the preceding sub-field and by an amount corresponding to a predetermined factor of said determined amount of gray scale level change. | 09-25-2008 |
