  • Patent number: 8466856
    Abstract: Methods for displaying an image on a color display having a target display white point luminance and chromaticity, and including three gamut-defining emitters defining a display gamut and two or more additional emitters which emit light within the display gamut; the method including receiving a three-component input image signal; transforming the three-component input image signal to a five-or-more component drive signal; and providing the drive signal to display an image corresponding to the input image signal. One method provides a reproduced luminance value higher than the sum of the respective luminance values of the three components of the input signal when reproduced with the gamut-defining emitters. Another method provides reduced power in an OLED display including a white-emitting layer with three color filters for gamut-defining emitters and two or more additional color filters for three additional within-gamut emitters.

  • Publication number: 20070164664
    Abstract: A method for making an OLED device, comprising: providing a plurality of subpixels of different colors, including at least three gamut-defining subpixels, each subpixel requiring an operating voltage which is based on the maximum current density required by that subpixel; selecting the display operating voltage to be equal to or greater than the maximum required subpixel operating voltage; and selecting the area of the subpixels to reduce the maximum required subpixel operating voltage, thereby reducing the display operating voltage so as to reduce power consumption in the device.

  • Publication number: 20070146252
    Abstract: An electroluminescent display system, comprising: a) a display composed of an array of regions, wherein the current to each of the regions is provided by a pair of power lines and wherein each region includes an array of light emitting elements for emitting light; b) a pixel driving circuit for independently controlling the current to each light-emitting element in response to an image signal, wherein the intensity of the light output by the light emitting elements is dependent upon the current provided to each light emitting element; and c) a display driver for receiving an input image signal and generating a converted image signal for driving the light emitting elements in the display, wherein the display driver analyzes the input image signal to estimate the current that would result at, at least, one point along at least one of the power lines providing current to each of the regions, if employed without further modification, based upon device architecture and material and performance characteristics of d

  • Publication number: 20070035536
    Abstract: A method of calibrating a flat panel display, comprising the steps of: providing a flat panel display, calibrating the display to establish desired chromaticity and/or luminance for one or more colors of interest at a first reference angle, measuring the chromaticity and/or luminance data for at least one color of interest at a minimum of one additional reference angle distinct from the first reference angle, and selecting a target calibration angle in response to the measured data and calibrating the display to establish desired chromaticity and/or luminance for colors of interest at the selected target calibration angle. The target calibration angle may be selected to deliver optimal display performance as a function of one or more desired viewing angles. These viewing angles can be in the tip direction, turn direction or in a direction that is some combination of tip and turn.
