Claim Text:
1. A method of processing image data in a multi-view liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprising the steps of: inputting main image data for a main image to control electronics; inputting side image data for a side image to the control electronics; and outputting from the control electronics output image data for a combined image of the main image and side image, the output image data comprising output data values for pixels in a liquid crystal (LC) panel, wherein the output data values are determined by selecting a set of available output data values from multiple sets of available output data values and choosing the output data values from the selected set of available output data values; wherein an on-axis viewer perceives from the combined image the main image and an off-axis viewer perceives from the combined image the side image; wherein for a current pixel, the output data value is chosen from the selected set of available output data values for which a resulting luminance value of the current pixel is closest to a target luminance value for the current pixel; and wherein the target luminance value for the current pixel is based on the main image data for the current pixel and luminance errors from previously processed pixels.
