Application No. 09/365,209
component of a pixel sequentially and independently, which is
perceived as a color motion image. When a user’s eyes are
focused on a moving object, the eyes track the motion. The
tracking motion of the eyes causes a color breakup artifact that
an observer notices.
The instant invention addresses the perceived artifacts in a
color sequential display producing an image of a moving object,
by separately motion compensating the objects represented within
the respective color planes based on the time of display.
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A method for motion compensation of displays,
comprising:
(a) processing received image data comprising frames (2),
each frame defining a plurality of subframes (4, R, G, B ), each
subframe representing a different component of the image frame
(R, G, B) for display at different respective times (TR, TG, TB)
within a frame period;
(b) estimating a motion of an image portion represented in
said frames of image data input (3); and
(c) motion compensating the image portion based on the
estimated motion, with respect to a respective time instance of
display of at least one of said subframes thereof (5), thereby
reducing display artifacts.
The examiner relies on the following reference:
