1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating, by operation of a computer, entries of a table of luminance levels of a high dynamic range display, wherein the high dynamic range display includes a plurality of panels, with each panel having independently adjustable transmission levels, and each luminance level in the table corresponds to a particular combination of transmission levels for the panels of the high dynamic range display; and
ordering, by operation of a computer, the table according to the luminance levels, wherein the table includes multiple entries with substantially equal values for a luminance level;
designating one of the multiple entries to correspond to the luminance level according to a set of predetermined criteria; and
storing the table in a computer-readable storage medium for use in controlling a high dynamic range display.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer software for use in driving a high dynamic range display involve generating table entries of luminance levels for a high dynamic range display and ordering the table according to the luminance levels. If the table includes multiple entries with equal values for a particular luminance level, one of the multiple entries is designated as corresponding to the luminance level.

20. A display comprising:
-
a light source; first and second panels arranged such that light from the light source passes through the first and second panels in series, wherein; the first panel includes Na possible transmission levels for a first color channel; and the second panel includes Nb possible transmission levels for the first color channel; a driver coupled to the first and second panels to drive the first and second panels to respective transmission levels according to entries of a table of luminance levels, with each entry in the table corresponding to a combination of respective transmission levels for the first and second panels, wherein a plurality of different possible combinations of transmission levels for the first and second panels produce luminance values that are substantially equal for the first color channel, and wherein, for the plurality of different possible combinations of transmission levels that produce luminance values that are substantially equal, the table of luminance values includes one combination of the plurality of different possible combinations of transmission levels for the first and second panels that is designated for the driver to use to produce the substantially equal luminance value for the first color channel. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system comprising:
-
means for controlling a transmissivity level for each pixel location of a plurality of pixel locations on two or more display panels, with each display panel operable to realize a transmissivity level for each pixel location independently of a corresponding pixel location on the other display panel(s), wherein a set of corresponding pixel locations on the two or more display panels are operable to produce a combined luminance level for a pixel; and means for storing a table of luminance level entries, each luminance level entry identifying a particular transmissivity level for each of the two or more display panels usable to produce a particular luminance for a particular color, wherein at least a portion of the luminance level entries are substantially equal to at least one other combination of transmissivity levels for the two or more display panels capable of producing the particular color at the same combined luminance level. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
