  • Publication number: 20160156901
    Abstract: A multi-view display device display images based on received image signals, received request signals, and transmits timing control signals. When the device receives request signals with distinct channel information during a given period, the device displays a first image signal and transmits a first timing control signal that includes one of the distinct channel information during a first period of an image frame, and displays a second image signal and transmits a second timing control signal that includes the other of the distinct channel information during another second period of the image frame. User controllers having glasses are activated or deactivated to view or obscure the displayed images based on receipt of the timing control signals.

  • Patent number: 8922581
    Abstract: A data processing device includes a receiving module, a rendering module and a color compensation module. The rendering module receives image data from the receiving module and renders the image data into first, second, third and fourth sub-pixel data based on a layout of a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, a third sub-pixel and a fourth sub-pixel and the color compensation module compensates for a color of the first, second and third sub-pixel data. The color compensation module converts the first, second and third sub-pixel data into first, second and third intermediate data, respectively, adds first, second and third delta values, which are determined based on the fourth sub-pixel data, to the first, second and third intermediate data, and thereby generates first, second and third compensation data.

  • Patent number: 8638359
    Abstract: In a display apparatus and a driving method thereof, a detector determines whether a timing controller is operated in a three-dimensional (3D) mode or a two-dimensional (2D) mode to output a first or second mode signal according to a result of the determination. A compensator compensates for a gamma value of a 3D image to be increased in response to a first mode signal when the 2D mode is converted to the 3D mode and decreases an increased gamma value to a gamma value for a 2D image in response to a second mode signal when the 3D mode is converted to the 2D mode.
