  • Patent number: 10891890
    Abstract: An artificial-reality device has a display with a plurality of pixels. In a calibration mode, the device determines gray-level values for the pixels using a uniform test image. Each pixel has a luminance level proportional to its gray-level value. The device groups the pixels into segments according to the luminance levels. For each of the segments, the device computes an overall luminance level and a luminance target according to the determined gray-level values. When the overall luminance level is below the luminance target for the segment, the device calculates calibration data, which either (i) increases the gray-level of each pixel in the segment by a specified amount or (ii) selects a gamma band for the segment corresponding to a difference between the luminance target and the overall luminance level. The device stores the calibration data. The device is configured to use the stored calibration data in subsequent display of images.

  • Publication number: 20200394971
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include determining a frame rate for a current frame, where the frame rate dictates the amount of time the current frame is to be presented on a display. The display may be a backlight that is powered for a specified amount of time as part of a duty cycle. The method may further include calculating a backlight duty cycle time for the current frame. The backlight duty cycle time may include a minimum amount of powered time plus an additional amount of powered time that is dependent on the frame rate for the current frame. The method may further generate a drive signal for the display using the calculated backlight duty cycle time and driving the display using the generated drive signal. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
