Patent ID: 7492379

Claim:
A method of converting incoming three-color pixel data of a first format for rendering onto a display panel; said display panel comprising a plurality of a sub-pixel group; said sub-pixel group further comprising eight sub-pixels; wherein each said sub-pixel is one of a first color sub-pixel, a second color sub-pixel and a third color sub-pixel; wherein said sub-pixel group further comprises four sub-pixels of said first color, two sub-pixels of said second color and two sub-pixels of said third color; wherein further said sub-pixels of said second color and said sub-pixels of said third color form substantially a checkerboard pattern; the method comprising: determining implied sample areas for each data point of said incoming three-color pixel data; determining a resample area for each color sub-pixel on said display panel; forming a set of coefficients for each resample area, said coefficients comprising fractions whose denominators are a function of the resample area and whose numerators are a function of an area of each implied sample area that may partially overlap said resample area; multiplying the incoming pixel data for each implied sample area by a coefficient resulting in a product; and adding each product to obtain a luminance value for said color sub-pixel on said display panel represented by each resample area.
