Abstract

A computer-implemented method of modifying image data is presented. The method entails detecting a triggering pattern based on colors and saturation values of a group of pixels, wherein at least one of the pixels includes a plurality of subpixels, and wherein the triggering pattern includes at least a portion of one of a diagonal line and a vertical line. The method changes the image data for a specific subpixel in the group of pixels, wherein the specific subpixel is located in or adjacent to the diagonal line or the vertical line. Alternatively, the method entails detecting a border between saturated-color subpixels and non-saturated-color subpixels, and adding luminance to white subpixels at the border. A display system configured to execute the above methods and a computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the above methods are also presented.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method of modifying image data, comprising:
detecting, with a processor, a triggering pattern based on colors and saturation values of a group of pixels, wherein at least one of the pixels includes a plurality of subpixels, and wherein the triggering pattern includes at least a portion of one of a diagonal line and a vertical line;
retrieving, from a memory, a pixel adjustment pattern defining how the image data is to be changed base…
