The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for compensating for a luminance deviation. A difference in pixel value of the image capturing device between a first pixel and a second pixel in the screen and a difference in gray scale level between first and second gray scale levels are derived from a captured image at the first gray scale level and a captured image at the second gray scale level which include pixel values of the image capturing device. A pixel value for the second pixel is calculated from the captured image at the first gray scale level.

Method and device for compensating luminance deviation and display device using the same

The present disclosure provides method and device for dimming the backlight of an LCD. A number of pixels at each grayscale level of an input image is determined. The determined number of pixels at each grayscale level is accumulated to generate an accumulated distribution of the number of pixel and the accumulated distribution is filtered. A threshold grayscale level at which the filtered accumulated distribution exceeds a threshold value is determined. A scaling factor is determined based on the threshold grayscale level. The grayscale level of pixels of the input image having a grayscale level lower than or equal to the threshold grayscale level are up-scaled based on the scaling factor, the grayscale value of pixels of the input image having a grayscale level greater than the threshold grayscale level are set to have a predetermined clipping grayscale level, and the LCD backlight is dimmed based on the scaling factor.

Provided are a display device and an image processing method thereof. In an embodiment, the display device includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels formed of red, green, blue, and white sub pixels, and an image processing unit for converting a three-color input image supplied to the red, green, blue, and white sub pixels into four-color image data and outputting an output image by applying a final gain calculated using a frame gain, a pixel gain, and a block gain of the pixels. The display device also includes a timing controller for outputting the output image from the image processing unit to the display panel. The block gain may be calculated using scaled versions of luminance values determined by converting a luminance of the three-color input image and position information of the pixels.

Display device and image processing method thereof

Provided are a display device and an image processing method thereof. The display device according an embodiment includes a display panel including pixels formed of red, green, blue, and white sub pixels, an image processing unit that converts a three-color input image supplied to the red, green, blue, and white sub pixels into four-color image data, calculates a color contrast ratio using a luminance weight and a hue weight by scaling luminance and hue values of the input image, and outputs an output image by considering the color contrast ratio, and a timing controller which aligns and outputs the output image from the image processing unit.

Provided are a timing controller and a display device including the same. The timing controller in one embodiment includes a bit selecting unit, an error calculating unit, and a dithering unit. The bit selecting unit is configured to fix an m bit data value of n+m bit input image data for a plurality of subpixels as a fixed data value, where n and m are integers. The error calculating unit is configured to calculate an error between the fixed data value fixed by the bit selecting unit and the m bit data value of the input image data before fixed by the bit selecting unit. The dithering unit is configured to generate n bit output image data dithered to correct the error.

Timing controller and display device including the same

Disclosed is a display device and an image rendering method thereof in consideration of a saturation of a text image that improves the legibility of the text image by, for example, adjusting a sub-pixel rendering application ratio and a direct rendering application ratio for pixel data using a weight in proportion to a saturation.

Display device and image rendering method thereof

A data clipping method using red, green, blue and white data, and a display device using the same are disclosed. Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), and White (W) data are modulated by multiplying clipped data of an input image by a gain, a luminance increment is created based on the result of subtracting the clipped data from the modulated RGB data, and the luminance increment is added to the W data to be written to a W sub-pixel.
