Claim One:
1. A machine-implemented method of reducing or eliminating visual artifacts producible in a multi-primary color matrix display, where the display has a display area populated by an area tessellating repetition of an N×M matrix unit (M×U), the M×U including Red, Green, and Blue sub-pixels as well as further sub-pixels of one or more other colors and where the M×U is divisible so as to include at least one red-green-blue (RGB) pixel and at least one non-RGB pixel, the method comprising: receiving an all-RGB data signal representing a corresponding input image in an all RGB pixels format, the all RGB pixels format being divisible into a plurality of N×M arrays each having a respective N×M subset of the received all RGB pixels; for each N×M array of all RGB pixels, converting the corresponding portion of the all RGB data signal into a corresponding portion of a multi-primary data signal representing a more power efficient way of producing substantially same luminance and chrominance as that of the correspondingly received M×M array while more efficiently using (if possible) image producing resources of the corresponding N×M matrix unit (M×U), where the corresponding and conversion-produced portion of the multi-primary data signal represents initial drive signals initially destined to be used for driving the corresponding N×M matrix unit (M×U) of the display; automatically determining if the image to be displayed an the multi-primary color matrix display by means of the initial drive signals contains a single color field populated by a color that can create a texturing artifact and/or if the image represented by the received all-RGB data signal contains a single pixel wide feature that can create a missing feature artifact; and in response to said automated determining indicating presence of at least one of said potential artifact creating situations, applying one or more corrections to the corresponding and conversion-produced portion of the multi-primary data signal so as to thereby produce a corrected multi-primary data signal which reduces or eliminate the at least one of the artifacts.
