Abstract
Devices and methods for dynamic dithering are provided. For example, an electronic device according to an embodiment may include image processing circuitry that operates on higher-bit-depth image data and a display panel that displays lower-bit-depth image data. To obtain the lower-bit-depth image data, the image processing circuitry may perform dynamic dithering on the higher-bit-depth image data. Such dynamic dithering may involve dithering frames of the higher-bit-depth image data based at least in part on respective rounding threshold values.
