Abstract:
A method of processing image data corresponding to a plurality of pixels for display on a display device, the data corresponding to each pixel including at least a first and a second pixel sub-component luminous intensity value, the method comprising the steps of:obtaining the first and the second pixel sub-component luminous intensity values of a first pixel; determining if the first pixel sub-component luminous intensity value of a first pixel falls within a first range of acceptable pixel sub-component luminous intensity values; and if it is determined that the first pixel sub-component luminous intensity value of the first pixel does not fall within said first range of acceptable pixel sub-component luminous intensity values, performing the steps of: adjusting at least one of the first and second pixel sub-component luminous intensity values of the first pixel by changing the intensity thereof; and displaying an image on the display device using the first and second pixel sub-component luminous intensity values of the first pixel after said at least one of the first and second pixel sub-component luminous intensity values has been adjusted so as to reduce a color artifact that would otherwise be experienced.
