  • Publication number: 20150347000
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic includes a processor. The processor sets a first color for drawing strokes based on an operation of a user interface. The processor draws a first stroke, in response to handwriting input on a screen, in a second color different from the first color when the first color is identical to a color of a background on the screen. The processor draws the first stroke on the screen in the first color when a first time period associated with drawing the first stroke in the second color elapses.

  • Publication number: 20060066642
    Abstract: In an update operation of uneven luminance correction values, a display area of a flat display is handled as if it is divided into a plurality of small areas A to I. Then, in one update operation of the uneven luminance correction values, the uneven luminance correction values are updated only for one of these small areas A to I. Therefore, by performing the update operation of the uneven luminance correction values the same number of times as the number (9) of the small areas A to I, the uneven luminance correction values for the whole display area of the flat display are updated.

  • Publication number: 20060066643
    Abstract: A judging unit compares data in a dither table for each display pixel with a numerical value of low-order 2 bits of an input signal (12 bits) and outputs 1 to an adder when the numerical value of the low-order 2 bits of the input signal is larger than the data in the dither table, while outputting 0 to the adder in other cases. The adder adds the value outputted from the judging unit to an uneven luminance correction value read from a correction memory, so that the uneven luminance correction value is corrected. A multiplier multiplies the input signal by the uneven luminance correction value after the correction.
