TEXT SHARPENING FOR LEGIBILITY ENHANCEMENT OR DISPLAY POWER SAVINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17970746 titled 'TEXT SHARPENING FOR LEGIBILITY ENHANCEMENT OR DISPLAY POWER SAVINGS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an information handling system that includes a display device and a processor. The processor converts RGB pixels to IPT pixels, sharpens edges of text fonts, corrects edge overshoot and undershoot, reduces noise enhancement, retains grey text portions, and converts IPT pixels back to RGB pixels for display.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information handling system includes a display device and a processor. The display device outputs pixels associated with a text font. The processor converts red, green, blue (RGB) pixels to image perspective transformation (IPT) pixels. The processor further sharpens one or more of the IPT pixels that do not have color. The sharpening of the one or more of the IPT pixels identifies edges of the text font and defines widths of the text font. The processor corrects edge overshoot and edge undershoot created by a digital filter. The edge overshoot and the edge undershoot are corrected for each IPT pixel associated with the text edges. The processor also reduces noise enhancement in the sharpened IPT pixels, retains grey text portions of each of the sharpened IPT pixels, and converts the IPT pixels to new RGB pixels. The processor outputs the new RGB pixels to the display device.
