Abstract:
1. A display system comprising a source image receiving unit configured for receiving source image data indicating an input image; said source image data being arranged in rows and columns of color data values specified in a first data format; a display panel substantially comprising a plurality of a subpixel repeating group tiled across said display; said subpixel repeating group comprising at least two rows and at least two columns of at least two primary color subpixels; an arrangement of said primary colors in said subpixel repeating group defining a second data format; subpixel rendering circuitry configured for computing a luminance value for each subpixel on said display panel in said second data format using said source image data in said first data format and a first subpixel rendering image filter; subpixel location detection circuitry configured for detecting whether a subpixel being processed by said subpixel rendering circuitry is located in one of a target row and column location of said display panel; said subpixel location detection circuitry producing a location signal; said subpixel rendering circuitry being further configured for using a second subpixel rendering image filter in place of said first subpixel rendering image filter to compute said luminance value for said subpixel when said location signal indicates that said subpixel being processed by said subpixel rendering circuitry is located in one of said target row and column location of said display panel; and driver circuitry configured to send signals indicating luminance values to said subpixels on said display panel to render said output image.
