Patent ID: 8004544

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a boost table, the boost table including a plurality of values, each value in the boost table indexed by a first index and a second index, the first index including a first lower bound and a first upper bound for an original pixel level, the first lower bound and the first upper bound consecutive first indices in the boost table, and the second index including a second lower bound and a second upper bound for a target pixel level, the second lower bound and the second upper bound consecutive second indices in the boost table, the value representing an adjustment to said original pixel level when transitioning from said original pixel level to said target pixel level; the apparatus further comprises a non-transitory storage medium including fuzzy logic control rules usable with the first lower bound, the second lower bound, the first upper bound, and the second upper bound to produce results of the fuzzy logic control rules, said results of the fuzzy logic control rules used to determine said adjustment to said original pixel level the fuzzy logic control rules include the rules: if the original pixel level is in A(x)=1−x, then said result is the value in the boost table with indices of the first lower bound and the second upper bound; if the original pixel level and the target pixel level are in B(x,y)=x−y, then said result is the value in the boost table with indices of the first upper bound and the second upper bound; if the target pixel level is in C(y)=y, then said result is the value in the boost table with indices of the first lower bound and the second lower bound; and a display operative to use the boost table and the fuzzy logic control rules to use the value in transitioning a pixel from said original pixel level to said target pixel level.
