Abstract:
A video processing system (See Fig. 3, item 26) is provided for generating a foveated video display with sections having different resolutions (See Fig.3, display of location B). The system uses a network channel for communicating video images having video sections of different resolutions (See Fig. 3, item 46), and includes a video transmission system for processing and transmitting the received video images over the network channel. The system assigns a larger portion of the network channel's bandwidth to a video section with higher resolution. Further, the system includes a video receiving system for receiving and seamlessly combining the first and second video sections of different resolutions to form an output video image on a display device of a control system (See Fig. 3, items 48, 58 and 60). The control system can be operated to generate one or more video transmission system modules to control capturing, transmitting and processing of the video images (See Fig. 3, items 42 and 60).
Abstract:
Viewing angle characteristics of a liquid crystal display (LCD) (112) are improved by reducing the number of subpixels in an image with mid-tone luminance values. In a preferred embodiment, a first table of entries associating subpixel intensity values and subpixel luminance values for a LCD in at least one viewing angle direction is provided. A target intensity value is determined from the first table, corresponding to the average subpixel luminance over a small number of adjacent subpixels. A second table of entries associates the target intensity values with intensity values above and below the target. The adjacent subpixel intensity values are modified according to the second table, thereby reducing the number of subpixels with mid-tone luminance values. The subpixel data is preferably processed within a portion of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (303), contained within the display module (112-2).
