  • Publication number: 20150049124
    Abstract: A display device includes a color transformer and an image controller. The color transformer receives and transforms a three-color image into a four-color image. The four-color image includes a red image, a green image, a blue image, and a white image. The image controller calculates decrement offsets of the red image, the green image, and the blue image, and a compensation value of the white image. The image controller calculates gray level values of the red image, the green image, and the blue image when a value of the white image is zero. The image controller respectively calculates a red image control signal, a green image control signal, and a blue image control signal based on the gray level values and the decrement offsets, and the image controller calculates a white image control signal based on the gray level values and the compensation value of the white image.

  • Publication number: 20140362127
    Abstract: A pixel array includes a first pixel and a second pixel. The pixels are disposed adjacent to each other and jointly include six sub-pixels. The sub-pixels include one red sub-pixel, two green sub-pixels, one blue sub-pixel, and two fourth color sub-pixels. The pixel area configuration of the first pixel is the same as the pixel area configuration of the second pixel, and the order of the sub-pixel areas disposed therein is, sequentially, a first sub-pixel area, a second sub-pixel area and a third sub-pixel area. The red sub-pixel is disposed in the first sub-pixel area of the first pixel, and the blue sub-pixel is disposed in to the first sub-pixel area of the second pixel. Furthermore, a display device and a color compensating method are also disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20140313244
    Abstract: A display panel includes a plurality of pixels. Each of the pixels includes four sub-pixels. After the display panel receives luminance values of four sub-pixels of a pixel, the display panel compares a sub-pixel of the pixel with same color sub-pixels of neighboring pixels. If a luminance value of the same color sub-pixel of neighboring pixel is greater than the luminance value of the sub-pixel by a predetermined threshold, the luminance value of the sub-pixel of the pixel is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20140307430
    Abstract: A transparent display device includes at least a first transparent display panel and a second transparent display panel, each of which has transparent regions and display regions. The arrangements of the transparent regions and display regions of the first transparent display panel and the second transparent display panel are opposite to each other. The transparent display device can apply a high transparency display mode or a lower transparency display mode by arranging the relative position of the first and second transparent display panels. In the lower transparency display mode, the first and second transparent display panels are at least partial overlapped with each other so as to display clear image with high definition.

  • Patent number: 8605127
    Abstract: A method for driving an active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel is provided. In the present method, how to drive a single pixel having a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a first blue (light blue) sub-pixel, and a second blue (dark blue) sub-pixel is effectively determined based on the characteristics of the (1931) CIE color space. Besides, at the same time point, only one of the two sub-pixels corresponding to the two blues (i.e. dark blue and light blue) in the single pixel is enabled to be mixed with the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel. Accordingly, the luminous efficiency of the AMOLED is improved and the power consumption of the entire AMOLED display is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20130106891
    Abstract: A method of rendering a color image on a delta-structured color display. The display has a plurality of first sub-pixel groups and a plurality of second sub-pixel groups interlacing with each other. Each first sub-pixel group includes a first sub-pixel of a first color. Each second sub-pixel group includes a second sub-pixel of a second color and a third sub-pixel of a third color. In one embodiment, the method includes inputting the color image, analyzing the color image to estimate one or more patterns of the image, determining one or more color template indexes, each color template indexes corresponding to a respective one of the one or more patterns, generating an intensity map, including an intensity for each first sub-pixel, second sub-pixel, and third sub-pixel of the display, according to the color template indexes, and outputting a plurality of electrical signals according to the intensity map to the display.

  • Publication number: 20130070006
    Abstract: A first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel of a pixel are utilized to display a first white image, then a first brightness of the first sub-pixel and a first brightness of the second sub-pixel are measured. The first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and a fourth sub-pixel of the pixel are utilized to display a second white image, then a second brightness of the first sub-pixel and a second brightness of the second sub-pixel are measured. How image data should be displayed is determined according to whether the first brightness of the first sub-pixel is greater than the second brightness of the first sub-pixel, whether the first brightness of the second sub-pixel is greater than the second brightness of the second sub-pixel, and whether a chromaticity coordinate of the image data is within a chromaticity range capable of being displayed by the first, second and third sub-pixels.

  • Publication number: 20120139965
    Abstract: An OLED display and a method for driving a display panel thereof are provided. The layout area of each pixel of the OLED display panel is specially designed to be a rectangle in shape, and the pixels are driven in such a manner that each two sub-pixels are taken as a unit to be driven. As such, according to the interaction manner among sub-pixels of the pixels, two sub-pixels can be viewed as one pixel to achieve more pixels within 1 inch in comparison with the conventional panels, which enables the current AMOLED driving circuit designs to be used in specific high resolution applications.
