Publication number: 20240112628Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. A plurality of lenticular lenses may extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have a number of independently controllable viewing zones. The viewer may be particularly susceptible to artifacts caused by crosstalk at the edge viewing zones within the primary field of view of the display. Certain types of content may also be more vulnerable to crosstalk than other types of content. Therefore, to mitigate crosstalk artifacts, the pixel value for each pixel may be adjusted based on the viewing zone of the respective pixel and content information (such as texture information or brightness information) associated with the respective pixel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Yunhui Hou, Yi-Pai Huang, Fu-Chung Huang, Sheng Zhang, Chaohao Wang, Ping-Yen Chou, Yi Huang, Juan He, Alfred B.
