Disclosed is the differential application of scalars to compensate pixel degradation. Input image data is associated with a commanded luminance at each of a plurality of pixels. A degradation value is determined for each pixel. Based on the degradation value, an elevated drive current is determined to produce commanded luminance at the pixel. A required scalar is determined for each pixel to hold the elevated drive current from exceeding a drive current threshold. An applied scalar for each pixel is determined for each pixel to be applied to the elevated drive current. For at least some pixels, the applied scalar for a first pixel is based at least on [1] the required scalar of a second pixel and [2] a spatial relationship between the first pixel and the second pixel. Applied scalars are then used to output corrected imagery.

Correcting imagery with differential applied scalars

The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can receive content data relating to a pair of displays that are rotatable around a hinge axis and that include curved regions proximate to the hinge axis. The example can generate a frame rendering for the content data that progressively dims the curved regions of the displays with decreasing distance from hinge axis.
