Patent ID: 7142219

Claim:
A display method for a display device of a type in which three light-emitting elements, which respectively emit light of the three primary colors of R, G, and B, comprising: aligning said three light-emitting elements in a fixed order to form one pixel; aligning a first plurality of said pixels in a first direction to form one line; aligning a second plurality of lines in a second direction, that is orthogonal to said first direction, to form a display screen; calculating sub-pixel data from data of an image to be displayed; defining in advance a light-emitting pattern in said sub-pixel data; said pattern including isolated sub-pixels making a small contribution to contrast; correcting said sub-pixel data when said sub-pixel data matches said pattern; the step of correcting including allocating sub-pixel data to at least one additional sub-pixel adjacent said isolated sub-pixel, whereby an image contrast is improved; and applying corrected sub-pixel data to said display device.
