RE-INTERPOLATION WITH EDGE DETECTION FOR EXTRACTING AN AGING PATTERN FOR AMOLED DISPLAYS

摘要

A method that includes an initial uniform pixel measurement and interpolation followed by an edge detection algorithm to recognize the areas that contribute mostly to the estimation error due to the interpolation. The pixels on the detected edges and around their vicinity are also measured, and an aging pattern of the entire display is obtained by re-interpolating the entire measured set of data for the initially measured pixels as well as the pixels around the detected edges. The estimation error is reduced particularly in the presence of aging patterns having highly spatially correlated areas with distinctive edges.
