Abstract

A storage method for a gamma value look-up table comprises storing gamma values corresponding to grays exceeding or equaling a 33rd gray in the gamma value look-up table, and calculating gamma values corresponding to a 1st gray to a 32nd gray by a formula.

Claims (59)

1. A method for a gamma value look-up table in a memory of an electronic device, comprising:

storing gamma values corresponding to grays exceeding or equaling a 33rd gray in the gamma value look-up table of the electronic device; and

calculating gamma values corresponding to a 1st gray to a 32nd gray by a formula,

wherein the gamma values corresponding to the 1st gray to the 32nd gray are expressed as the formula:

,

where, i denotes a gray, i exceeds or equals 1 and is less than or equal to 32, gamma(i) denotes a gamma value corresponding to an ith gray, gamma(256) denotes a gamma value corresponding to the 256th gray, gamma(33) denotes a gamma value corresponding to the 33rd gray, and γ denotes a parameter exceeding or equaling 1.8 and less than or equal to 2.4.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of grays is 256.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter γ is 2.2.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein each gamma value corresponding to the 33rd gray to the 256th gray is stored in a 10 bit form.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein gamma values corresponding to the 33rd gray, a 34th gray, a 35th gray and a 36th gray are stored in bytes corresponding to addresses from 0 to 4.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

storing the lower 8 bits of a gamma value corresponding to a 33rd gray in bit 0 to bit 7 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 0;

storing the higher 2 bits of the gamma value corresponding to the 33rd gray in bit 0 to bit 1 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 4 respectively;

storing the lower 8 bits of a gamma value corresponding to a 34th gray in bit 0 to bit 7 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 1;

storing the higher 2 bits of the gamma value corresponding to the 34th gray in bit 2 to bit 3 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 4 respectively;

storing the lower 8 bits of a gamma value corresponding to a 35th gray in bit 0 to bit 7 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 2;

storing the higher 2 bits of the gamma value corresponding to the 35th gray in bit 4 to bit 5 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 4 respectively;

storing the lower 8 bits of a gamma value corresponding to a 36th gray in bit 0 to bit 7 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 3;

storing the higher 2 bits of the gamma value corresponding to the 36th gray in bit 6 to bit 7 of a byte corresponding to an address which is 4 respectively.
