  • Patent number: 10825415
    Abstract: A time controller is able to convert and present the LCD display of gray levels within images with a brightness equal to that within the original images. The time controller alternates in operation between first and second modes of gamma correction, each for a specified time duration. In the first correction mode, the time controller corrects the original gray levels in a correction-positive manner and outputs first correction gray levels. In the second correction mode, the time controller corrects the original gray levels in a correction-negative manner, and outputs the second correction gray levels. The first correction gray level is equal to or larger than the second correction gray level, to correspond with original gray levels.

  • Patent number: 9998733
    Abstract: An image displaying method includes the following steps. A first depth setting command is received from a first viewer who observes a first disparity between two images through two view angles in front of a stereoscopic display having N view angles. A second depth setting command is received from a second viewer who observes a second disparity between two images through another two view angles. The stereoscopic display is configured to adjust at least one image among its N view angles, thereby making the first disparity different from the second disparity.

  • Publication number: 20090042113
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a filter is provided. The manufacturing method includes steps as follows. First, a substrate is provided and a black matrix is formed on the substrate. The black matrix has a number of openings arranged in array. Next, a filter material is individually formed in the openings by inkjet printing or other methods, and the filter material includes a solvent and a dye mixed with the solvent. Thereafter, a thermal treatment is performed and an evaporation rate of the solvent during the thermal treatment is reduced, so as to cure the filter material. As the evaporation rate of the solvent is relatively slow, the filter material is still flowable during the thermal treatment. Hence, the cured filter material has a flat surface. The filter fabricated by the above manufacturing method has an even hue and a well flattened surface.

  • Publication number: 20080231681
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a color filter is provided. First, a substrate is provided and then a partition, for example a black matrix, is formed on the substrate. The black matrix defines a plurality of first color filter areas and a plurality of second color filter areas corresponding to the first color filter areas on the substrate. Thereafter, a first color filter film and a second color filter film are formed in each of the first color filter areas and each of the second color filter areas corresponding thereto, respectively, such that a color filter is provided. The thickness of the first color filter film differs from the thickness of the second color filter film. Thus, images displayed by a transflective liquid crystal display with the aforementioned color filter have even colors.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for image color correction and a method thereof. The system for image color correction includes at least a color correction module, which can correct color values to be corrected to ideal color values for giving corrected color values. In addition, the system according to the present invention corrects the color values between the corrected and the uncorrected color values, and smoothen the lightness and color transition therebetween, so that the false-contour problem is not occurred in the image with corrected colors. The system according to the present invention can further include a color interpolation module and a lookup table. According to the lookup table, a plurality of corresponding output color values of a plurality of color values of an input image could be found. Thereby, complicated correction procedures described above can be reduced, and the speed of color correction is increased as well.
