| 20100066854 | Camera and imaging system - A camera comprises an imaging system having a first depth of field for one or more first colours and a second depth of field, smaller than the first depth of field, for one or more second colours. The imaging system may comprise an iris with a first aperture for the first colour or colours and a second aperture, which is larger than the first, for the second colour or colours. The first aperture may be defined by an outer opaque ring ( | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100135395 | EFFICIENT SPATIO-TEMPORAL VIDEO UP-SCALING - A method of performing spatio-temporal up-scaling includes receiving an input video having a sequence of input frames, analyzing the input video to estimate motion vectors associated with the sequence of input frames, and determining corresponding motion compensation errors associated with the motion vectors. The method further includes determining an extent to which computational resources are to be respectively allocated to spatially up-scaling the sequence of input frames and temporally up-scaling the sequence of input frames, based on the estimated motion vectors and corresponding motion compensation errors. In addition, the method includes spatio-temporally up-scaling the sequence of input frames based on the determined extent. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100201499 | METHOD OF CONNECTING A DEVICE TO A NETWORK - A method is provided of connecting a device ( | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100214324 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device is provided that comprises a liquid crystal display panel ( | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110123184 | CAMERA FLASH, A CAMERA, AND A METHOD OF GENERATING A FLASH - A camera flash comprises a light guide arranged to extract light at least through one surface; and one or more light sources arranged, in use, to emit light into the lightguide. Each light source is an LED or a laser diode. The camera flash is connectable, in use, to drive circuitry, the drive circuitry being for driving the light source(s) to emit a pulse of light. The waveguide spreads out the light from the light source(s), so that a flash of light from the camera flash does not present a safety risk, while minimising loss of the light from the light source(s). The camera flash can thus provide a high overall optical output, spread over an extended area (as defined by the waveguide). The lightguide may for example be disposed around a camera module of a mobile telephone camera. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110175936 | ANGULAR DEPENDENT PIXELS FOR TRICK VIEW - A display device having a display panel for displaying an image by spatial light modulation includes a plurality of pixel groups, each pixel group including a first pixel having a first type of luminance against viewing angle response, and a second pixel having a second type of luminance against viewing angle response, wherein the first and second luminance against viewing angle responses are different from one another. The display device further includes a controller operatively coupled to each of the plurality of pixel groups, wherein the controller is configured to drive each of the plurality of pixel groups such that on average the plurality of pixel groups simultaneously provide a predetermined on-axis luminance and an predetermined off-axis luminance for a region of the image corresponding to each pixel group. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20120154458 | APPARATUS, DISPLAY DEVICE, PROGRAM AND METHOD THEREOF FOR PROCESSING IMAGE DATA FOR DISPLAY BY A DISPLAY PANEL - A method of processing image data for display by a display panel of a display device is provided. The method comprises receiving main image pixel data representing a main and side image pixel data representing a side image. In a first processing step, a mapping is performed of the pixel data to signals used to drive the display panel. The mapping is arranged to produce an average on-axis luminance which is dependent mainly on the main image pixel data and an average off-axis luminance which is dependent at least to some extent on the side image pixel data. In a second processing step, the received side image pixel data are processed to emphasise at least one feature of the side image which might otherwise be perceived by a viewer as being de-emphasised in the side image displayed off axis as a result of the first processing step. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120176404 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND PROGRAM FOR PROCESSING IMAGE DATA FOR DISPLAY BY A DISPLAY PANEL OF A DISPLAY DEVICE, AND A DISPLAY DEVICE - A method is provided of processing image data for display by a display panel of a display device. The method comprises receiving main image pixel data representing a main image and side image pixel data representing a side image, and performing a mapping of the pixel data to signals used to drive the display panel. The mapping is arranged to produce an average on-axis luminance which is dependent mainly on the main image pixel data and an average off-axis luminance which is dependent at least to some extent on the side image pixel data. A compression of the main image pixel data is performed in advance of or at least partly incorporated into the mapping, the compression being performed at least partly in dependence upon the main image pixel data and at least partly in dependence upon how the off-axis luminance varies with pixel data input to the mapping. | 07-12-2012 |
