Samsung patents display method to switch pixel colors in a specific order
This filing describes a method for electronic devices to manage how pixels change color on a screen. The system checks if a pixel's color needs to change between frames and, if so, applies a specific sequence of electrical signals to transition the color smoothly.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic apparatus is caused to, when executed individually or collectively by at least one processor: identify a first color corresponding to a first pixel among a plurality of pixels of a first screen and store the first color in the memory; identify a second color corresponding to a first pixel among a plurality of pixels of a second screen output after the first screen and compare the second color with the first color; switch, based on the second color being different from the first color, the first color to the second color based on a predetermined color sequence; and display the second screen based on the second color to which the first color is switched, wherein the predetermined color sequence is based on a driving order of a plurality of colors and a driving waveform to be applied to switch between colors among the plurality of colors.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a display; a memory storing instructions; and at least one processor including processing circuitry, wherein, when executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, the instructions cause the electronic apparatus to: identify a first color corresponding to a first pixel among a plurality of pixels of a first screen and store the first color in the memory; identify a second color corresponding to a first pixel among a plurality of pixels of a second screen to be output after the first screen and compare the second color with the first color; switch, based on the second color being different from the first color, the first color to the second color based on a predetermined color sequence; and display the second screen on the display based on the second color to which the first color is switched, wherein the predetermined color sequence is based on a driving order of a plurality of colors and a driving waveform to be applied to switch between colors among the plurality of colors.
