Patent ID: 8743162

Claim:
A method for evaluating temporal response of a display comprising: displaying a first pattern wherein pixels of a test region of the display are driven at driving levels L 1 or L 2 ; displaying a second pattern wherein the pixels of the test region are driven at driving levels L 1 or L 2 , and wherein the second pattern is different than the first pattern; and displaying a third pattern wherein the pixels of the test region are driven at driving levels L 1 or L 2 , and wherein the third pattern is different than the first pattern; wherein the pixels of the test region that are driven at driving level L 1 in one of the first pattern, the second pattern, or the third pattern are subsequently driven at driving level L 2 for the next n number of patterns, where n is greater than or equal to 2; and wherein temporal response compensation is performed for a compensation portion of the pixels of the test region and no temporal response compensation is performed for a noncompensation portion of the pixels of the test region such that a comparison can be made between the compensation portion of the pixels and the noncompensation portion of the pixels.
