Image display system and method
First Claim
1. A method of displaying an image with a display device, comprising:
- receiving image data for the image and buffering the image data to create a frame of the image;
defining a first sub-frame and at least a second sub-frame for the frame of the image, image data of the second sub-frame being offset from image data of the first sub-frame by an offset distance; and
displaying the first sub-frame with a first plurality of pixels of the display device and displaying the second sub-frame with a second plurality of pixels of the display device offset from the first plurality of pixels by the offset distance,wherein at least one of the pixels of the display device is identified as a defective pixel, and wherein displaying the first sub-frame and displaying the second sub-frame includes displaying a pixel of the first sub-frame and a pixel of the second sub-frame with the defective pixel and diffusing an affect of the defective pixel over at least a portion of the image.

Abstract
A method of displaying an image with a display device including a plurality of display pixels includes receiving image data for the image, the image data including individual pixels of the image; buffering the image data and creating a frame of the image, the frame of the image including a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows of the pixels of the image; defining a first sub-frame and at least a second sub-frame for the frame of the image, image data of the second sub-frame being offset from image data of the first sub-frame by an offset distance of at least one pixel; and displaying the first sub-frame with a first plurality of the display pixels and displaying the second sub-frame with a second plurality of the display pixels offset from the first plurality of the display pixels by the offset distance.

14. A system for displaying an image, comprising:
-
a buffer adapted to receive image data for the image and buffer the image data to create a frame of the image; an image processing unit adapted to define a first sub-frame and at least a second sub-frame for the frame of the image, image data of the second sub-frame being offset from the image data of the first sub-frame by an offset distance; and a display device adapted to temporally display the first sub-frame with a first plurality of pixels and display the second sub-frame with a second plurality of pixels offset from the first plurality of pixels by the offset distance, wherein at least one of the pixels of the display device is identified as a defective pixel, and wherein the display device is adapted to display a pixel of the first sub-frame and a pixel of the second sub-frame with the defective pixel and diffuse an affect of the defective pixel over at least a portion of the image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for displaying image data of an image with a display device having an array of pixels with at least one pixel identified as a defective pixel, the method comprising:
-
scaling the image data to a size less than an area of the array of pixels of the display device; creating multiple frames each including a plurality of adjacent columns and a plurality of adjacent rows of pixels of the image from the image data; positioning each of the multiple frames on the display device, including offsetting each of the multiple frames from one another by at least one pixel in at least one direction; and displaying each of the multiple frames with the display device to produce complete frames of respective portions of the image and display the image, including aligning the multiple frames with each other to diffuse an affect of the defective pixel in the displayed image. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
