Patent number: 10957235Abstract: A color mapping and correction scheme for processing pixel data allows a display device to account for color shift. The display device drives its light emitters with different current levels. The light emitters exhibit a color shift in gamut. As such, the display device generate light of two different color gamut regions. An input pixel data may include an original color coordinate that is beyond a common color gamut that is common to the two gamut regions. A mapping scheme is used to convert the original color coordinate to an updated color coordinate within the common color gamut. A first output color coordinate that corrected for the shift in first emitters is generated for the operation of the first light emitters based on the updated color coordinate. A second output color coordinate that corrected for the shift in second emitters is also generated based on the updated color coordinate.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventor: Edward Buckley
