  • Patent number: 8922581
    Abstract: A data processing device includes a receiving module, a rendering module and a color compensation module. The rendering module receives image data from the receiving module and renders the image data into first, second, third and fourth sub-pixel data based on a layout of a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, a third sub-pixel and a fourth sub-pixel and the color compensation module compensates for a color of the first, second and third sub-pixel data. The color compensation module converts the first, second and third sub-pixel data into first, second and third intermediate data, respectively, adds first, second and third delta values, which are determined based on the fourth sub-pixel data, to the first, second and third intermediate data, and thereby generates first, second and third compensation data.

  • Patent number: 8810496
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a timing controller and a liquid crystal panel. The timing controller sequentially receives first through third primitive image signals and sequentially outputs first through third corrected image signals. The liquid crystal panel displays an image based on the first through third corrected image signals. The timing controller generates a first converted image signal having a first gray level based on the first primitive image signal and stores the first converted image signal. The second primitive image signal has a second gray level and the timing controller generates a second converted image signal having a third gray level higher than the second gray level when the second gray level is lower than the first gray level. The timing controller generates the third corrected image signal using the second converted image signal and the third primitive image signal.

  • Patent number: 8766894
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display system including a signal processing device uses interpolation to generate an intermediate image frame using previous image frame data and present image frame data. The system converts data of the intermediate image frame into transposed image data that is to be used to drive a liquid crystal display panel and display a corresponding image. The transposed image data and the present image data are subjected to a prespecified DCC process (dynamic capacitance compensation process) to thereby generate respective first and second compensation image data. Since the first compensation image data is generated based on the transposed image data and the transposition is configured to prevent over-compensation by the DCC process, over-compensation by the dynamic capacitance compensation process can be reduced or prevented.

  • Patent number: 8638359
    Abstract: In a display apparatus and a driving method thereof, a detector determines whether a timing controller is operated in a three-dimensional (3D) mode or a two-dimensional (2D) mode to output a first or second mode signal according to a result of the determination. A compensator compensates for a gamma value of a 3D image to be increased in response to a first mode signal when the 2D mode is converted to the 3D mode and decreases an increased gamma value to a gamma value for a 2D image in response to a second mode signal when the 3D mode is converted to the 2D mode.
