Patent number: 10825415Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Fitipower Integrated (Shenzhen) Inc.Inventors: Fu-Chuan Tsai, Yu-Chun Tsai, Chang Zhu, Hong-Yun Wei, Xiao-Jun Chen

Patent number: 9998733Abstract: 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.
