  • Publication number: 20170249888
    Abstract: R, G, and B are corrected according to a one-dimensional lookup table R_LUT, a one-dimensional lookup table G_LUT, and a one-dimensional lookup table B_LUT, respectively. W is corrected according to one-dimensional lookup tables W_LUT (R), W_LUT (G), and W_LUT (B). The extent of a contribution to post-correction tone values Rout, Gout, and Bout of each of tone values obtained from the former correction and tone values obtained from the latter correction is modified according to a color expressed by a group of pre-correction tone values Rin, Gin, and Bin. As the above-mentioned color is closer to white, the contribution to the tone values obtained from the latter correction increases.

  • Publication number: 20170229984
    Abstract: Basic current commands of a d-axis and a q-axis are set based on a torque command of a motor. Subsequently, when the rotation speed of the motor is high, an electric angle compensation amount is set to be larger than that when the rotation speed of the motor is low, and a corrected predicted electric angle is set by adding the electric angle compensation amount to a predicted electric angle predicted from an electric angle based on a rotation position of a rotor of the motor from a rotation position detection sensor. Then, current commands of the d-axis and the q-axis are set by multiplying the basic current commands of the d-axis and the q-axis by a correction coefficient based on the corrected predicted electric angle, and an inverter is controlled using the current commands.
