Color may be achieved in TIR-based image displays by addition of a sub-pixel color filter array (CFA). Color may be enhanced by tuning the size, shape, arrangement and colors of the sub-pixel color filters in the CFA. CFAs comprising of pixels further comprising one to four or more different repeating sub-pixel color filters may be capable of creating a wide gamut of displayable colors. The sub-pixels may be arranged in repeat cells wherein the sub-pixels within the repeat cell may be mapped to one or more pixels. Sub-pixel rendering may be used during driving of a TIR-based display. Sub-pixel rendering uses logical dynamic pixels where a single sub-pixel may be used in one or more pixels depending on the image displayed.

A method of generating a mask overlay for a display corresponding to a touch path, the method including receiving touch path data including touch points corresponding to the touch path, generating vertex points of a vertex array corresponding to the touch points, generating a polygon for a set of the vertex points to define edges of the touch path, determining start and stop edges of the polygon for a row of pixels, generating a list of bin offset values corresponding to the row and including bin offsets for indicating the edges by incrementing a bin offset for each of the start edges, and by decrementing a subsequent bin offset for each of the stop edges, generating an accumulator value corresponding to each of the pixels, determining whether the accumulator values are greater than or equal to zero, and generating the mask overlay by determining whether respective accumulator values is greater than zero.

Vector fill segment method and apparatus to reduce display latency of touch events

A display system comprises line buffer memory that stores input image data in a first color space, and a plurality of gamut mapping modules that accept the input image data from the line buffer memory and performs a gamut mapping operation to produce mapped image data specified in a second color space. The system also includes a subpixel rendering module that renders the image data specified in the second color space for display on a display panel substantially comprised of a particular subpixel repeating group. The system architecture utilizes a plurality of gamut mapping modules which in turn allows for a reduction in the size of line buffer memory needed for the subpixel rendering operation.

Memory structures for image processing

Sub-pixel rendering with gamma adjustment allows the luminance for the sub-pixel arrangement to match the non-linear gamma response of the human eye's luminance channel, while the chrominance can match the linear response of the human eye's chrominance channels. The gamma correction allows the sub-pixel rendering to operate independently of the actual gamma of a display device. The sub-pixel rendering techniques with gamma adjustment may be optimized for the gamma transfer curve of a display device in order to improve response time, dot inversion balance, and contrast.

Methods and systems for sub-pixel rendering with gamma adjustment

Sub-pixel rendering with gamma adjustment allows the luminance of the sub-pixel arrangement to match the non-linear gamma response of the human eye's luminance channel. For each of a subset of input sampled data indicating a region of an input image, a gamma-adjusted data value is generated for each input image data value in the subset using a local average of at least two input image data values. A sub-pixel rendering operation uses the subset of gamma-adjusted data values and the subset of input image data values to produce an output data value for each sub-pixel element on the display panel. A plurality of output data values collectively indicates an output image. The gamma adjustment allows the sub-pixel rendering to operate independently of the actual gamma of a display device. The sub-pixel rendering techniques with gamma adjustment may improve image contrast in high spatial frequency portions of an image.
