  • Publication number: 20220392411
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for reducing halo artifacts of static images on a computer display. A multimedia stream is received that includes graphical images which are moving and static images as displayed on the computer display. A determination is performed if a graphical image in the multimedia stream is a static image. Additional LED zones of LEDs are turned on to provide backlighting to a computer display panel. A diming algorithm is enabled to adjust LEDs to reduce halo artifacts in the static image. Luminance correction is performed at the pixel level for the static image.

  • Publication number: 20140146069
    Abstract: A viewing angle compensator adjusts the presentation of an image at a display so that the image has a uniform appearance to an end user at a viewing location. The angle of viewing from the viewing location to plural groups of pixels is used to compensate the pixel values in each group, such as the brightness, contrast and color presented by each pixel in each group, from original values to compensated values that make the picture appear uniform to the end user at the viewing location.

  • Patent number: 7717601
    Abstract: Systems and methods for compensating brightness uniformity of transmissive backlit display devices using auxiliary lights to provide additional light to compensate light provided by the main backlights of a backlit image display device. Auxiliary lights may be, for example, embedded into the light pipe area of an image display and/or placed in any other suitable position relative to the main backlights that is suitable for compensating the main backlights. In one example implementation, brightness uniformity of a transmissive image display may be at least partially compensated based at least in part on measured luminance of one or more areas of the display.

  • Publication number: 20090160945
    Abstract: A method for capturing an image using a webcam is provided. The method may include receiving a request to capture an image using a webcam of an information handling system the information handling system comprising a display. In response to the request to capture an image, a flash screen may be displayed on the display, and an image is captured using the webcam.
