Patent ID: 7134091

Claim:
In a computer system having a display device, the display device having a plurality of pixels each having a plurality of separately controllable pixel sub-components of different colors, a method of displaying an image on the display device in a manner that is adjusted based on preferences of a viewer, comprising: displaying on the display device a set of example images, each example image being generated using corresponding display parameters that result in different degrees of color errors; receiving input from the viewer selecting a preferred example image from among the set of example images, the preferred example image having been generated using particular display parameters indicative of a balance between color correction and resolution; and displaying an image on the display device using the particular display parameters that were used to generate the preferred example image, including: obtaining luminous intensity values for individual pixel sub-components of a pixel of the display device based on the particular display parameters, the luminous intensity values obtained by mapping different sets of one or more samples of image data representing the image to the individual pixel sub-components of the pixel; and displaying the image on the display device in accordance with the indicated balance between color correction and resolution by using the obtained luminous intensity values to control the individual pixel sub-components.
