Display driver with interpolated gamma parameter for pixels
The patent US12046178B2 describes a display driver designed to enhance the performance of display panels, particularly those with multiple screen areas separated by a connection area. The display driver includes image processing circuitry that modifies the width of the connection area and generates voltage data for pixels in both the first and second screen areas using distinct gamma parameter sets. Additionally, it determines an interpolated gamma parameter set for a pixel located in the connection area, allowing for a seamless transition between the two screen areas. The driver updates the voltage data for all three pixels based on their respective gamma parameters, ensuring consistent image quality across the display.
Moreover, the patent outlines various configurations for the display driver, including the ability to modify gamma parameters based on external application commands and the position of the pixels. It also highlights the adaptability of the display panel, which can be foldable at the connection area, with modifications to the connection width and gamma parameters being influenced by the angle between the screen areas. The display driver is further equipped with memory to store application image data, facilitating the selection of corresponding image data for the second pixel. Overall, the claims emphasize the innovative approach to managing pixel data and gamma adjustments in multi-area display panels, enhancing visual coherence and user experience.
