  • Compensation for display device flicker
    Patent number: 8675029
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in correcting flicker of a display (e.g., an LCD display). For example, correction may employ the insertion of at least one transition data frame between display data frames for use in displaying a transition image by pixel elements of the display such that a user perceives display of a constant average luminance by the pixel elements.
    Type: Grant

  • Image stability in liquid crystal displays
    Patent number: 8089436
    Abstract: One method of controlling a backlight for image stability in a liquid crystal display (LCD) device including providing a sequence of display image information to a plurality of pixel elements of the LCD device, turning the backlight of the LCD device to an off state during a first portion of a refresh cycle of the pixel elements, and turning the backlight of the LCD device to an on state during a second portion of the refresh cycle of the pixel elements to display a display image based on a first display image information item from the sequence of display image information on the LCD device.

  • Image stability in liquid crystal displays
    Patent number: 7880711
    Abstract: One method for providing image stability in a liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes providing a first display image to a plurality of pixel elements of the LCD at a first time, where the first display image includes a first pixel in an on state, transitioning the on state of the first pixel to an off state during a refresh cycle of the first display image, and transitioning the off state of the first pixel back to the on state during a next sequential refresh cycle of the first display image.
