  • Patent number: 11238817
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for pixel signal conversion are provided. The method includes: based on an initial first subpixel signal, an initial second subpixel signal, and an initial third subpixel signal of a pixel signal, obtaining a corresponding first stimulus value signal, second stimulus value signal, and third stimulus value signal. When converted pixel signals are applied to a hybrid-color display consisting of subpixels of four colors of W, R, G, and B, a display effect is closer to actual representation of original hybrid colors of R, G, and B, to alleviate a color shift defect of a large view angle.

  • Patent number: 11217146
    Abstract: A gray-level compensation method and apparatus, a display device and a computer storage medium are provided, which belong to the field of display technology. The method includes: acquiring an initial gray-level value of a target pixel; determining an actual luminance offset of the target pixel based on the initial gray-level value, where different initial gray-level values within a specified threshold range correspond to different actual luminance offsets; and performing a gray-level compensation on the target pixel based on the actual luminance offset. The actual luminance offset is determined based on the initial gray-level value of the target pixel, and since the different initial gray-level values within the specified threshold range correspond to the different actual luminance offsets, flexibility of gray-level compensation performed on the pixel is improved.

  • Patent number: 11107376
    Abstract: A low drag outdoor media façade display for mounting on a structure susceptible to instability when exposed to strong winds, having an array of radiating elements thinly dispersed about the façade area, held by an array of thin suspension elements, the elements are spaced apart leaving gaps, such that the total surface area of the elements is smaller than the total area of the façade display. A tilting mechanism, active or passive, is operational for tilting the façade display or at least one element thereof. The passive mechanism allows free tilt in response to wind blow, and the elements may include tails. The active mechanism is operational for altering wind load drag profile of the façade display to accommodate wind conditions. The display may be inflatable or collapsible sail-like. A display featuring a liquid spray curtain for refracting or reflecting light projections is a further measure for reducing wind load.
