Abstract:
In a computer system including a processing unit and a display device for displaying an image, the display device having a plurality of pixels, each including a plurality of pixel sub-components each of a different color, a method of improving resolution of the displayed image comprising the steps for:mapping samples of information representing an image to individual pixel sub-components of a pixel as opposed to mapping each of the samples to an entire pixel, each pixel sub-component having mapped thereto at least one spatially different sample;generating a separate luminous intensity value for each pixel sub-component as opposed to each full pixel, the separate luminous intensity value for each sub-component being based on the at least one spatially different sample mapped thereto; anddisplaying the image using the separate luminous intensity values of each sub-component, resulting in each of the pixel sub-components of the pixel, rather than entire pixels, representing displayed portions of the image.
