Publication number: 20180374450Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to display circuitry including pixel overdrive circuitry. The pixel overdrive circuitry includes a compression engine that compresses a previous display frame, for storage and comparison to a current display frame without compression or decompression of the current display frame. The compression engine compresses the previous frame in such a way that the maximum compression error is always known and can be used to determine whether to perform overdrive operations for the current frame without compressing and decompressing the current display frame. The compression engine selects gradient encoding or decimation encoding for the compression of the previous display frame and can perform successive decimation operations within the gradient encoding operations to help reduce the size of the compressed previous frame while maintaining the quality of the ultimate overdriven current frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2017Publication date: December 27, 2018Inventors: Nachum M. KANOVSKY, Marc ALBRECHT, Tobias JUNG, Xiaokai LI, Ameya Y. JOSHI

Publication number: 20180330695Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. A content generator may generate frames of image data to be displayed on the display. Control circuitry in the electronic device may be used in implementing a tone mapping engine. The tone mapping engine may display content from the content generator on the display in accordance with a content-luminance-to-display luminance mapping. The content-luminance-to-display-luminance mapping is characterized by tone mapping parameters such as a black level, a reference white level, and a specular white level. The tone mapping engine may adjust the tone mapping parameters based on ambient light levels, user brightness settings, content statistics, and display characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2018Publication date: November 15, 2018Inventors: Teun R. Baar, Marc Albrecht, Tobias Jung, Jiaying Wu, Nicolas P. Bonnier, Nathaniel C. Begeman, Ian C. Hendry

Publication number: 20180247609Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to improve the operation of display systems are disclosed. In general, techniques are disclosed for dynamically adjusting backlight elements based on image content. More particularly, a backlight element's intensity may be targeted for boosting (i.e., increasing) based on content of the backlight element's corresponding image region, where after a check may be made to determine if the proposed increase is likely to risk generation of a halo. If the proposed intensity increase would risk a halo, the backlight element's proposed intensity may be dimmed. Repeating the boost/dim cycle in an iterative fashion permits an image to be displayed with brighter highlights and deeper blacks.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2017Publication date: August 30, 2018Inventors: Ameya Joshi, Marc Albrecht, Sean Chang, Tobias Jung

Publication number: 20180108327Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to improve the operation of display systems are described herein. In general, techniques are disclosed for ambient and content adaptive local tone mapping operations that improve display readability under bright ambient light conditions. More particularly, techniques disclosed herein improve contrast and brightness of dark image content while preserving bright areas. The disclosed architecture and operational methodologies generate high contrast images (e.g., amplifying dark regions while preserving bright content), preserve uniform backgrounds (e.g., static background pixels), are stabile in the face of local and global histogram changes (e.g., background not affected by small moving objects such as a mouse pointer), and provide near seamless fade-in and fad-out transitions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Tobias Jung, Marc Albrecht, Sean C.

Publication number: 20180075798Abstract: A mobile electronic device includes a display having a pixel and processing circuitry separate from but communicatively coupled to the display. The processing circuitry prepares image data to send to the pixel and adjusts the image data to compensate for operational variations of the display based on feedback received from the display that describes a present operational behavior of the pixel. The mobile electronic device also includes additional electronic components that affect the present operational behavior of the pixel depending on present operational behavior of the additional electronic components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2017Publication date: March 15, 2018Inventors: Hyunwoo Nho, Hung Sheng Lin, Jie Won Ryu, Junhua Tan, Sun-Il Chang, Shengkui Gao, Rui Zhang, Injae Hwang, Kingsuk Brahma, Jesse Aaron Richmond, Shiping Shen, Hyunsoo Kim, Sebastian Knitter, Lu Zhang, Nicolas P.
