  • Patent number: 11626084
    Abstract: An electronic device coupled to a display includes a graphics card and a processor. The graphics card reads the extended display identification data from the display. The processor determines, according to the extended display identification data, that the display is able to display a default resolution at a first refresh rate at most, and determines, according to the extended display identification data, whether the display device is able to display the default resolution at a second refresh rate that exceeds the first refresh rate. When it is determined that the display is able to display the default resolution at the second refresh rate, the processor adds the second refresh rate into the extended display identification data.

  • Patent number: 9319653
    Abstract: A white balance (WB) compensation method and an electronic apparatus are provided. The method includes the following steps. A first and a second specific color ratios of a predetermined color in a predetermined color temperature are obtained. A first and a second reference color ratios of a reference color in the predetermined color temperature are obtained. An image including pixels is captured, and an exposure index corresponding to the image is obtained. When the exposure index corresponds to the predetermined color temperature, specific pixels are retrieved from the pixels. WB compensation values of the image are calculated according to the specific pixels. An image color temperature of the image is obtained. When the image color temperature corresponds to the predetermined color temperature, the WB compensation values are updated according to the first and second reference color ratios. A WB operation is performed according to the updated WB compensation values.
