Patent ID: 7499011

Claim:
A method of improving response time of a display element in a display, the method comprising: providing a command input that represents a desired response of the display element; modifying the command input, using a compensation function, to produce a command output to be sent to the display element, wherein the compensation function uses the command input and a modeled luminance of the display element in a present state and at least one previous state to compute the command output; and transmitting the command output to the display element; wherein the compensation function is of a form y ( n )= f ( x ( n ), x ( n− 1), . . . , x ( n−M ), m ( n ), m ( n− 1), . . . , m ( n−N )) where x(n) is a current command input, M is a number of previous command inputs used to adjust the current command input, y(n) is the command output, and m(n) is the current modeled luminance of the display element and is computed using a function of a form m ( n )= f ( x ( n ), x ( n− 1), . . . , x ( n−M ), m ( n− 1), m ( n− 2), . . . , m ( n−N ), y ( n )) where N is a number of previous states of modeled luminances used to adjust the current command input.
