  • Patent number: 10957235
    Abstract: A color mapping and correction scheme for processing pixel data allows a display device to account for color shift. The display device drives its light emitters with different current levels. The light emitters exhibit a color shift in gamut. As such, the display device generate light of two different color gamut regions. An input pixel data may include an original color coordinate that is beyond a common color gamut that is common to the two gamut regions. A mapping scheme is used to convert the original color coordinate to an updated color coordinate within the common color gamut. A first output color coordinate that corrected for the shift in first emitters is generated for the operation of the first light emitters based on the updated color coordinate. A second output color coordinate that corrected for the shift in second emitters is also generated based on the updated color coordinate.

  • Patent number: 10916319
    Abstract: A pulse is inputted to TFTs 101 and 104 so that the TFTs would turn ON and then potential of a node a rises. When the potential of the node ? reaches (VDD?VthN), the node ? became in a floating state. Accordingly, a TFT 105 then turns ON, and potential of an output node rises as a clock signal reaches the level H. On the other hand, potential of a gate electrode of the TFT 105 further rises due to an operation of capacitance 107 as the potential of the output node rises, so that the potential of the output node would be higher than (VDD+VthN). Thus, the potential of the output node rises to VDD without voltage drop caused by a threshold of the TFT 105.
