Abstract:
In a computing system having a display device that has a plurality of pixels, each pixel having a plurality of pixel sub-components of different colors that may each be treated as independent luminous intensity sources, a method for displaying an image on the display device in a manner that balances a particular user's perception of color and resolution, the method comprising the following:an act of measuring a specific user's preferred balance between color correction and resolution when viewing images on a display device in which pixel sub-components may be treated as independent luminous intensity sources; an act of accessing an image that is digitally represented by multiple values each representing a unique sample point that corresponds to a pixel sub-component of the display device; an act of performing color compensation on the digital representation of the image such that the extent of color compensation depends on the specific user's measured preferred balance; and an act of displaying the color compensated image on the display device.
