  • Publication number: 20250225915
    Abstract: A method comprises producing or receiving information regarding content to be displayed on an array of pixels as a function of time, wherein the information includes a specified light output for each pixel in the array as a function of time, determining an expected change in light output intensity for each of one or more of the pixels as a function of time, wherein the expected change in light output intensity for each of the one or more of the pixels is dependent, at least in part, on the specified light output for at least a portion of the pixels in the array, and modifying an output of each of the one or more of the pixels as a function of time to compensate for at least a portion of the expected change in the light output intensity.

  • Publication number: 20250015060
    Abstract: An electronic display comprises an array of pixels each comprising first, second, and third primary light-emitting elements that emit primary colors at first, second, and third physical primary color points on a chromaticity diagram, and one or more derivative light-emitting elements that each emit a derivative color at a derivative color point on the chromaticity diagram. The physical primary color points and each derivative color point are located on a boundary of a virtual color space that includes first, second, and third apexes at first, second, and third virtual primary color points on the chromaticity diagram. At least one of the first, second, and third virtual primary color points is different from the first, second, and third physical primary color points, respectively. A color gamut for the pixels is greater than a corresponding gamut for corresponding pixels that are configured to only emit the primary colors.

  • Publication number: 20210143135
    Abstract: An electronic display comprises an array of pixels of light-emitting elements, wherein each pixel is configured to emit a first primary color having a first wavelength, a second primary color having a second wavelength, a third primary color having a third wavelength, and a first gamut-enhancing color having a fourth wavelength that is within a first specified wavelength variance from the first wavelength, wherein a color gamut that can be produced by the array of pixels is greater than a corresponding array of corresponding pixels of corresponding light-emitting elements that are configured to only emit the first primary color having the first wavelength, the second primary color having the second wavelength, and the third primary color having the third wavelength.
