Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may determine, a target pixel value for a pixel of a current subframe of a series of N subframes. The series of N subframes may be displayed consequently in a time domain. The system may determine an aggregated target pixel value of target pixel values of the pixel in subframes prior to the current subframe in the series of N subframes. The system may determine an aggregated actual pixel value of displayed pixel values of the pixel in the subframes prior to the current subframe in the series of N subframes. The system may determine an aggregated quantization error based on a difference between the aggregated target pixel value and the aggregated actual pixel value. The system may determine a compensated target pixel value based on the target pixel value and the aggregated quantization error.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may receive a target color and a propagated error for a pixel location. The system may determine an error-modified target color for the pixel location based on the received target color and the propagated error. The system may identify, based on a location of the error-modified target color in a three-dimensional color space, a subset of pre-determined colors in the three-dimensional color space. The error-modified target color may correspond to a weighted combination of the subset of pre-determined colors. The system may determine a pixel color for the pixel location based on the subset of pre-determined colors and respective weights associated with the subset of pre-determined colors. The system may determine, based on the pixel color, driving signals for light-emitting elements associated with the pixel location. The system may output the driving signals to control the light-emitting elements associated with the pixel location.

Abstract: A system for rendering color images on an electro-optic display when the electro-optic display has a color gamut with a limited palette of primary colors, and/or the gamut is poorly structured (i.e., not a spheroid or obloid). The system uses an iterative process to identify the best color for a given pixel from a palette that is modified to diffuse the color error over the entire electro-optic display. The system additionally accounts for variations in color that are caused by cross-talk between nearby pixels.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may determine, for a pixel of a current subframe of a series of subframes, a compensated target pixel value based on a difference between (1) an aggregated target pixel value of the pixel in the current subframe and previous subframes of the series of subframes and (2) an aggregated actual pixel value of displayed pixel values of the pixel in the previous subframes of the series of subframes. The compensated target pixel value may compensate a quantization error for the pixel displayed in the previously subframes of the series of subframes. The system may access a mask value, corresponding to a pixel position of the pixel, from a dithering mask having a spatial stacking property. The system may determine a quantized pixel value for the pixel of the current subframe by quantizing the compensated target pixel value based on the mask value.

Abstract: A display operates a plurality of light emitters using pulse width modulations (PWM). Pixel data for a pixel location may be separated into a first subset of bits and a second subset of bits. The display device turns on first light emitters for first PWM turn-on times in accordance with the first subset of bits within a PWM cycle. The display device turns on second light emitters for PWM on time second PWM turn-on times in accordance with the second subset of bits within the PWM cycle. The current level that drives the first emitters may remain constant during the first turn-on times but may be higher than the current level that drives the second emitters. The first emitters may generate light in accordance with the most significant bits of pixel data while the second emitters may generate light in accordance with the least significant bits of the pixel data.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may determine that a target grayscale value for a frame falls within a predetermined grayscale range. The system may compute, based on the target grayscale value, barycentric weights for a predetermined barycentric coordinate system associated with vertices that each represents a subframe combination of zero or more subframe identifiers. The system select, using the barycentric weights and threshold values associated with respective dots in a dithering mask, a set of non-overlapping dot patterns from the dithering mask corresponding to the vertices of the barycentric coordinate system. The dots in the dithering mask may satisfy a spatial stacking constraint. The system may generate subframes to represent the frame based on the set of non-overlapping dot patterns and the subframe combination represented by each of the vertices.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes accessing a first rendered frame generated at a first frame rate. The method includes generating, based on the first rendered frame, one or more sub-frames at a second frame rate that is higher than the first frame rate.

The first sub-frame is to be perceived by a user using the optics component of the display system. The method includes outputting the one or more sub-frames for display at the second frame rate. The one or more sub-frames are perceived by the user using the optics component of the display system.

Abstract: An intrauterine simulation system may comprise a motion-control system and/or a maternal heartbeat simulator. The motion-control system may be configured to move a platform supporting an infant in a pattern characteristic of the movement of a woman in a late stage of pregnancy, thereby simulating movement experienced by a fetus in the intrauterine environment. The maternal heartbeat simulator may be configured to produce low-frequency sound waves and/or vibrations and to transmit the sound waves and/or vibrations via the platform to the infant's body. This simulates the vibrations created by the mother's heart as experienced by a fetus. The platform supporting the infant may be incorporated into a bassinet, cradle, mattress, and/or other suitable device. A system controller may be configured to gradually reduce aspects of the simulation, such as the intensity of the sound waves and/or vibrations or extent of the movement, thereby transitioning an infant to the extrauterine environment.

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.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access a dead pixel position corresponding to a dead pixel of a display. The dead pixel may be associated with one of three color channels of the display. The system may access an image and select a set of three masks based on the color channel of the dead pixel. The system may modify the image by applying the set of three masks to a pixel region of the image containing a particular pixel value with a position that corresponds to the dead pixel position. The set of three masks may be respectively applied to three color channels of pixel values in the pixel region of the image. The set of three masks may be configured to minimize an error caused by the dead pixel in an opponent color space. The system may cause the modified image to be output by the display.
