Patent number: 12046180Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for compensating for a luminance deviation. A difference in pixel value of the image capturing device between a first pixel and a second pixel in the screen and a difference in gray scale level between first and second gray scale levels are derived from a captured image at the first gray scale level and a captured image at the second gray scale level which include pixel values of the image capturing device. A pixel value for the second pixel is calculated from the captured image at the first gray scale level.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Geon Ho Park, Won Yeol Lee, Cheon Heo

Patent number: 10720112Abstract: The present disclosure provides method and device for dimming the backlight of an LCD. A number of pixels at each grayscale level of an input image is determined. The determined number of pixels at each grayscale level is accumulated to generate an accumulated distribution of the number of pixel and the accumulated distribution is filtered. A threshold grayscale level at which the filtered accumulated distribution exceeds a threshold value is determined. A scaling factor is determined based on the threshold grayscale level. The grayscale level of pixels of the input image having a grayscale level lower than or equal to the threshold grayscale level are up-scaled based on the scaling factor, the grayscale value of pixels of the input image having a grayscale level greater than the threshold grayscale level are set to have a predetermined clipping grayscale level, and the LCD backlight is dimmed based on the scaling factor.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kyungjoon Kwon, Cheon Heo

Patent number: 10366673Abstract: Provided are a display device and an image processing method thereof. In an embodiment, the display device includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels formed of red, green, blue, and white sub pixels, and an image processing unit for converting a three-color input image supplied to the red, green, blue, and white sub pixels into four-color image data and outputting an output image by applying a final gain calculated using a frame gain, a pixel gain, and a block gain of the pixels. The display device also includes a timing controller for outputting the output image from the image processing unit to the display panel. The block gain may be calculated using scaled versions of luminance values determined by converting a luminance of the three-color input image and position information of the pixels.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Cheon Heo, KyungJoon Kwon
