Abstract: Techniques for driving a dual modulation display include generating backlight drive signals to drive individually-controllable illumination sources. The illumination sources emit first light onto a light conversion layer. The light conversion layer converts the first light, such as blue or ultraviolet light, into second light, such as white light. The light conversion layer can include quantum dot materials. Liquid crystal display (LCD) modulation drive signals are generated to determine transmission of the second light through individual color subpixels of the display. These LCD modulation drive signals can be adjusted based on one or more light field simulations to account for non-uniform, spatial color shifts. Alternatively, one or more light field simulations based on a uniformity assumption determine intermediate LCD modulation drive signals. A compensation field simulation, using backlight drive signals, is then used to adjust the intermediate LCD modulation drive signal for color correction.

It is determined, based on the portion of image data, whether a first power profile is to be applied to rendering the portion of image data with the target display device. In response to determining, based on the portion of image data, that the first power profile is not to be applied to rendering the portion of image data with the target display device, a second power profile is applied to rendering the portion of image data with the target display device.

Abstract: An image sensor of a camera configured with a diffraction grating is used to capture a diffraction image of an image rendering surface of a display device, for example, while a target image is being rendered on the image rendering surface of the display device. The diffraction image of the image rendering surface of the display device is analyzed to obtain measurements of native display capabilities of the display device. Display capability data is transmitted to a display management module for the display device. At least a portion of the display capability data is generated from the measurements of native display capabilities of the display device that are obtained from analyzing the diffraction image of the image rendering surface of the display device.

Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention includes a display system for displaying video. The display system includes a backlight layer and an LCD layer. The display system controls the backlight layer and the LCD layer to emulate a cathode ray tube response. This emulation may be accomplished by applying a gamma function to a gamma corrected input signal. In this manner, the effects resulting from the “crushed blacks” phenomenon may be reduced.

Abstract: Provided is a surface modification method of calcite powder prepared from desulfurized gypsum and heat-treated at a high temperature. According to the surface modification method, hydrophilic calcite powder having polarity may be changed into hydrophobic non-polar calcite powder by safely adsorbing a surface modifier onto a surface of the calcite powder and coating the surface with non-polar fatty acid. Particularly, in the case in which calcite powder heat-treated at a high temperature is hydrophobized, a significantly excellent hydrophobic surface property may be implemented.

Abstract: A first and a second light valve control values are derived for a first and a second frames, respectively, in a specific region of a display panel based on image data of the first and second frames. It is determined whether a difference between the first and second light valve control values exceeds a light valve control threshold. If so, a light source driving waveform is constructed to comprise a sequence of light source control pulses for controlling one or more light sources designated to illuminate the specific region of the display panel. The sequence of light source control pulses is constrained to start at a start time plus a transition time interval. The transition time interval allows light valves in the specific region of the display panel to complete a transition between the first and second light valve control values.
