Abstract:
1. A method for generating a desired output shade in a pixel for display to a user, comprising: receiving a desired output shade of a pixel for display to a user; the pixel having a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel, each of the first sub-pixel, second sub-pixel, and third sub-pixel having associated a luminosity, a plurality of private color bits, and a plurality of common color bits; selecting a plurality of intermediate shades based on the desired output shade; mapping the plurality of intermediate shades to a plurality of frame colors, the plurality of frame colors including a first frame color and a second frame color; setting a first display frame, wherein setting the first display frame comprises setting the luminosity, private color bits, and common color bits of each of the first sub-pixel, second sub-pixel, and third sub-pixel based on the first frame color; setting a second display frame, wherein setting the second display frame comprises setting the luminosity, private color bits, and common color bits of each of the first sub-pixel, second sub-pixel, and third sub-pixel based on the second frame color; sending a first display signal to an output device, the first display signal being based on the first display frame, and the output device being able to display the pixel to the user based on the first display signal; and sending a second display signal to an output device, the second display signal being based on the second display frame, and the output device being able to display the pixel to the user based on the second display signal, wherein the output device is an 8-bit-per-channel Red/Blue/Green color monitor and the desired output shade comprises 11 bits.
