  • Publication number: 20200211163
    Abstract: The invention provides an image compensation method suitable to a display. First, an image processing circuit obtains pixel data related to a current pixel, a first and a second adjacent pixels from an image frame. The first and the second adjacent pixels are respectively located at two opposite sides of the current pixel. Then, the image processing circuit determines whether a color block edge exists between the current pixel, the first adjacent pixel and the second adjacent pixel according to the pixel data related to the current pixel, the first adjacent pixel and the second adjacent pixel. The image processing circuit performs first color edge compensation on the pixel data related to the current pixel when determining that the color block edge exists between the current pixel and the first adjacent pixel and no color block edge exists between the current pixel and the second adjacent pixel. An image processing circuit is further provided.

  • Publication number: 20200166995
    Abstract: An image operation method and system for obtaining an eye's gazing direction are provided. The method and system employ multiple extraction stages for extracting eye-tracking features. An eye frame is divided into sub-frames, which are then sequentially temporarily stored in a storage unit. Launch features of sub frames are sequentially extracted from the sub frames by a first feature extraction stage, where a data of a former sub-frame is extracted before a data of a latter sub-frame is needed to be stored. Next, the remaining feature extraction stages apply a superposition operation on the launch features to obtain terminal features, which are then computed to obtain an eye's gazing direction.

  • Patent number: 10606352
    Abstract: In a dual mode eye tracking method and system, an infrared (IR) ray is emitted to perform an IR tracking mode and visible light (VL) calibration. When a first error between a VL associated gaze position and an IR associated gaze position is less than a first threshold, the IR ray is turned off to perform a VL tracking mode. In a VL checking period, when a second error between a VL associated gaze position and an IR associated gaze position is less than a second threshold, the IR ray is turned off to continue the VL tracking mode.

  • Patent number: 10607550
    Abstract: A digital control driving method and a driving display device are disclosed. In the method, dividing an image frame into K sub-frames by a hit using a digital control method is adopted. Wherein in one frame period of the image frame, an occupied time of each K sub-frame is the same, and driving times of the K sub-frames are different. The K sub-frames are driven to display on the display panel in a special transmission mode within one frame time of the image frame. The transmission voltage value has only two values, corresponding to the light emission and non-emission of the pixel points on the display panel. The source driver IC only output two grayscale voltages so as to effectively avoid a drift of the Vth of the driving TFT such that an entire brightness of the AMOLED panel is even to improve the display quality.
