Patent ID: 7511716

Claim:
A three-dimensional (3D) display sub-pixel rendering method comprising: receiving 3D image data associated with a number (N) of two-dimensional (2D) images of a scene, the N images having a plurality of corresponding pixel sets, each set in the plurality of corresponding pixel sets including N pixels, each of the N pixels in the set being from a distinct one of the N images and having a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, and wherein N is an integer greater than one; and for each selected set of corresponding pixels from the N images, mapping N green sub-pixels, N red sub-pixels and N blue sub-pixels to a number (M) of sub-pixels on a display to form a stereogram of the scene, the mapping comprising mapping the N green sub-pixels from the N images to N distinct green sub-pixels on the display, mapping the N red sub-pixels from the N images to a number (L) of distinct red sub-pixels on the display, L is at least one and not exceeding N, and mapping the N blue sub-pixels from the N images to a number (K) of distinct blue sub-pixels on the display, K is at least one and being smaller than N.
