Abstract: In a display device in which a shape of a parallax barrier is changed depending on the relative positional relation to the viewer, the occurrence of crosstalk is suppressed. Images are displayed in a part of a plurality of sub-pixels included in each pixel, and images are not displayed in the other sub-pixels. That is, a display area in the pixel is reduced. Thus, the occurrence of crosstalk can be suppressed. Further, sub-pixels have a square shape or a substantially square shape. Thus, even when sub-pixels which display images are selected depending on the relative positional relation to the viewer, the shape of the display area in the pixel does not change greatly. Therefore, even in the case where the positional relationship is changed (in the case where the arranged parallax barrier is changed), the occurrence of crosstalk can be suppressed without respect to the positional relationship.

Abstract: A system and method for deriving a sequence of OLED non-uniformity test patterns. A pattern generator generates a full sequence of display patterns according to a transform function, such as a discrete cosine transformation or wavelet transformation. A driver drives a display with each of the sequence of patterns. A sensor senses a property of the display, such as a total current for the display, for each of the sequence of patterns. An extraction unit derives a pixel non-uniformity model using the sensed properties and an inverse of the transform function. Patterns that contribute less than a threshold amount to the non-uniformity model can be identified and deleted to derive a sparse sequence of patterns, which can be stored in a memory. The sparse sequence of patterns can be used to test the display and extract a set of pixel non-uniformity values. The pixel non-uniformity values can be used to generate a correction signal for the display.
