METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING IMAGE DATA FOR DISPLAY BY A DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A method is provided of processing image data for display by a display panel of a display device. Image pixel data representing an image is received. In a first processing step, the pixel data is processed to produce a multiple-view effect to a viewer. In a second processing step, for each of a plurality of subsets (kernel) of the pixel data, where each subset (kernel) comprises a same number of pixel groups (Px-1, Px, Px+1, Px+2) and each pixel group (Px-1, Px, Px+1, Px+2) comprises at least one pixel, new pixel data (Px') is derived (operation) for at least one of the pixel groups (Px) of the subset (kernel) in dependence upon the pattern (Pattern #) of pixel data in the pixel groups (Px-1, Px, Px+1, Px+2) of the subset (kernel). The deriving (operation) of the new pixel data (Px') is performed in a manner that is capable of distinguishing at least one such pattern from its inverse.
