SPATIOTEMPORAL DITHER FOR PULSED DIGITAL DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021132 titled 'SPATIOTEMPORAL DITHER FOR PULSED DIGITAL DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device with a pulsed emission electronic display that can display an image frame by pulsing multiple display pixels over a plurality of sub-frames within the frame. Image processing circuitry generates display image data based on source image data and dithers the order of the sub-frames.

  • Pulsed emission electronic display with multiple display pixels
  • Display image data generated based on source image data
  • Dithering of the order of sub-frames within the image frame

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • High-speed displays for gaming or virtual reality applications
  • Medical imaging equipment for enhanced visualization

Problems Solved

This technology solves:

  • Motion blur in fast-moving images on displays
  • Improved image quality and clarity in medical imaging

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced visual experience for users
  • Improved accuracy and detail in displayed images

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially applied in:

  • High-end gaming monitors
  • Medical imaging devices for hospitals and clinics

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Dithering techniques used in digital image processing

Unanswered Questions

How does the dithering process affect the overall image quality?

The dithering process helps reduce artifacts in the displayed image, but its impact on overall image quality needs further study.

Are there any limitations to the number of sub-frames that can be pulsed within an image frame?

It is important to determine if there are any practical limitations to the number of sub-frames that can be pulsed for optimal display performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a device may include a pulsed emission electronic display having multiple display pixels in order to display an image frame. the display may pulse one or more display pixels of over a plurality of sub-frames within the image frame based on display image data. the device may also include image processing circuitry to generate the display image data based on source image data indicative of an image to be displayed during the image frame. additionally, the image processing circuitry may dither an order of the plurality of sub-frames.
