Patent number: 8928689Abstract: A pixel data conversion method for display with delta panel arrangement converts an input video signal into a temporary video signal which is a first RGB signal with 640 horizontal resolution in a strip panel arrangement and converts the temporary video signal into an output video signal which is a RGB signal with 320 horizontal resolution in the delta panel arrangement. Each line of the output video signal has 960 pixels. A pixel size ratio is defined as a ratio of a pixel size of the delta panel to a pixel size of the strip panel. The 320 horizontal resolution is obtained by dividing the 640 horizontal resolution by the pixel size ratio and then by three.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Orise Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yu-Li Wu, Chih-Kai Chang

Patent number: 8774505Abstract: A method of fixed bit-rate image compression/decompression based on 2×2 image unit encodes an image that is divided into a plurality of 2×2 coding units. The method determines whether a 2×2 coding unit has one of first to seven man-made patterns. When the 2×2 coding unit has one of the first to seven man-made patterns, a differential error encoding and a quantization and look-up are performed on the 2×2 coding unit for generating a first coded data. Otherwise, the 2×2 coding unit is a natural pattern, and the method sequentially performs a color domain transform, a discrete cosine transform, and a quantization and look-up on the 2×2 coding unit for generating a second coded data.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Orise Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: Chih Kai Chang
