Abstract:
A method for enhancing the resolution of text to be rendered on a display device having horizontally striped sub-pixel elements, the method comprising steps of:a) determining a luminous intensity value of a first sub-pixel element of a pixel based on first information; and b) determining a luminous intensity value of a second sub-pixel element of the pixel based on second information, wherein the second information is displaced from the first information, and wherein each of the steps of determining the luminous intensity value of the first sub-pixel element of the pixel and determining the luminous intensity value of the second sub-pixel element of the pixel includes sub-steps of: i) accepting character information and display device resolution information; ii) accepting a resolution enhancement overscaling factor; and iii) scaling the character information based on the display device resolution information and the resolution enhancement overscale factor.
