Patent number: 11195493Abstract: One or more embodiments are directed to compensating for a long horizontal blank (LHB) period. Using a first display data value, a compensation amount is determined from a mapping between display data and compensation amounts. The first display data value is for a display row after an LHB period in a display frame of a display panel. A second display data value is adjusted with the compensation amount to obtain revised display data value. The revised display data value is outputted for the display panel.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Synaptics IncorporatedInventors: Kazuhiro Okamura, Atsushi Maruyama, Daisuke Ito, Takashi Nose, Hirobumi Furihata
