A digital display apparatus includes an array of light-emitting pixels, each with a first and second electrode, formed on a display substrate. A plurality of chiplets is located on the display substrate, each chiplet including an electrode connection pad, a signal connection pad, and a pixel circuit. The electrode connection pad is connected to one of the first or second electrodes. Each chiplet includes one or more pixel circuits formed in the chiplet and electrically connected to the corresponding electrode and signal connection pads. A digital image signal is provided to the signal connection pad(s) of at least one of the chiplets. Each pixel circuit converts at least one digital image signal value to a continuously valued analog pixel-driving signal that controls the luminance of a pixel. The display provides higher-performance pixel circuits with digital control resulting in improved image quality.

Disclosed are method and apparatus for obtaining relatively high dynamic range images using a relatively low dynamic range image sensor without significant loss of resolution. The image sensor has an array of light-sensing elements with different sensitivity levels in accordance with a predetermined spatially varying sensitivity pattern for the array of light-sensing elements. An image of a scene is captured with the image sensor and stored as brightness values at respective pixel positions in a linear or two-dimensional uniform grid. The brightness values of the captured image at the pixel positions are then used to estimate the brightness values at off-grid positions of a uniform off-grid array located at respective interstices of the pixel position grid. The estimated off-grid brightness values are either used directly as the pixel brightness values of a relatively high dynamic output image or interpolated to derive resampled on-grid brightness values at the pixel positions of the pixel position grid to provide a relatively high dynamic range output image. Alternatively, the brightness values of the captured image are interpolated by an on-grid interpolation filter to derive pixel brightness values of a relatively high dynamic range output image, each pixel brightness value of the output image being derived from a corresponding plurality of the captured image brightness values. In each instance, either the captured image brightness values or the pixel brightness values of the output image may be compensated for non-linearities of the radiometric response function of the light-sensing elements of the image sensor.

Systems and methods for reducing motion blur in images or video in ultra low light with array cameras in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for synthesizing an image from multiple images captured using an array camera includes capturing image data using active cameras within an array camera, where the active cameras are configured to capture image data and the image data includes pixel brightness values that form alternate view images captured from different viewpoints, determining sets of corresponding pixels in the alternate view images where each pixel in a set of corresponding pixels is chosen from a different alternate view image, summing the pixel brightness values for corresponding pixels to create pixel brightness sums for pixel locations in an output image, and synthesizing an output image from the viewpoint of the output image using the pixel brightness sums.

The invention provides a method for controlling display brightness, which comprises the following steps: obtaining the current environmental light brightness; calculating the current image brightness; calculating a correct value of the display brightness according to the current environmental light brightness and the current image brightness; controlling the display brightness according to the correct value of the display brightness. The invention fully considers the influence of the self image brightness on the virtual sense of a user and uses the self image brightness as a weighted factor to control the display brightness. The invention weights the environmental light brightness and the image brightness, controls the backlight of a display screen of a flat television by the weighted value of the environmental light brightness and the image brightness, and effectively solves the problem of flaring or unclear images when environmental light and the television images are both bright or dark.

The invention provides a method for eliminating Mura of an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) display panel. The method includes the steps of: firstly calculating and obtaining gray scale compensation should be adopted according to the target brightness and the actual brightness of each sub-pixel, current display gray scale, and a gamma value of the OLED display panel; the making the OLED display panel display the currently obtained compensation gray scale; and judging whether a preset compensation gray scale calculation-ending condition is reached, if the preset compensation gray scale calculation-ending condition is not reached, and obtaining the actual brightness of the sub-pixels in the compensation gray scale; and calculating again and obtaining the compensation gray scale should be adopted next time, and continuously carrying out iterative computation, until the preset compensation gray scale calculation-ending condition is reached. Compared with the prior art, the method for eliminating the Mura of the OLED display panel makes the sub-pixel brightness furthermore approach the target brightness through the compensation gray scale obtained by multiple iterative computations, can fast and effectively eliminate the Mura of the OLED display panel, ensures the brightness uniformity of the OLED display panel, and raises the display quality of the OLED display panel.

An image brightness and contrast management module for automatically adjusting brightness and contrast of an input video signal includes a histogram generation unit that generates a pixel luminance histogram based on pixel luminance values in a frame, whereby the histogram shows a distribution of luminance values in the frame and indicates the dynamic range and the dominant luminance value(s) for the frame. The module includes a histogram characterization unit that uses the pixel luminance histogram to identify which of a plurality of brightness / contrast properties is exhibited in the frame. The module also includes a brightness and contrast adjustment unit that nonlinearly adjusts, in real-time, the pixel luminance values in a next frame based on the identified brightness / contrast properties exhibited in the preceding frame. In this manner, bright or dark dominant areas of an image are stretched to enhance the contrast of the dominant luminance values without blackening the darker portions or saturating the brighter portions of the image.
