    Abstract: A display system includes a display unit that displays pixels with a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and a correction circuit that sets a color temperature for white luminescence. When the pixels perform display in a first tone that is the same tone with the red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel, and blue sub-pixel, the correction circuit sets a first color temperature as a white point. When the pixels perform display in a second tone that is lower than the first tone and that is the same tone with the red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel, and blue sub-pixel, the correction circuit sets a second color temperature different from the first color temperature as the white point.

  • Patent number: 11600244
    Abstract: A handheld imaging device has a data receiver that is configured to receive reference encoded image data. The data includes reference code values, which are encoded by an external coding system. The reference code values represent reference gray levels, which are being selected using a reference grayscale display function that is based on perceptual non-linearity of human vision adapted at different light levels to spatial frequencies. The imaging device also has a data converter that is configured to access a code mapping between the reference code values and device-specific code values of the imaging device. The device-specific code values are configured to produce gray levels that are specific to the imaging device. Based on the code mapping, the data converter is configured to transcode the reference encoded image data into device-specific image data, which is encoded with the device-specific code values.
