Abstract

According to various embodiments of the invention, gamma curves for multiple pixel groups can be calibrated using look-up tables or by using reference voltage groups provided by gamma voltage generators so that the pixels can display multiple images with correct gray levels at different view angles. Therefore, color shift can be avoided or lessened without necessarily using extra circuitry on the display panel. Also, any related light transmittance or light utilization efficiency reduction may be decreased or eliminated.

Claims (19)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel including first and second pixel groups, wherein each of the pixel groups includes a color pixel, and the color pixel of the first pixel group and the color pixel of the second pixel group are with the same color; and

a data driver, providing a plurality of color voltages and electrically coupling to a plurality of impedance strings, and the color pixel of the first pixel group having a first color voltage and the color pixel of the second pixel group having a second color voltage;

wherein the first color voltage differs from the second color voltage when a frame signal is configured to display an equal gray level.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the data driver is configured to drive the first pixel group to display a first image and the second pixel group to display a second image.

3. A display device, comprising:

a data driver, coupling to a plurality of impedance strings, providing a plurality of voltages according to multiple nodes of the impedance strings; and

a display panel including first and second pixel groups, and each of the pixel groups including a color pixel, and the data driver driving the color pixels;

wherein the color pixel of the first pixel group and the color pixel of the second pixel group are with the same color; and the color pixel of the first pixel group has a first color voltage and the color pixel of the second pixel group has a second color voltage;

wherein the first color voltage differs from the second color voltage when a frame signal is configured to display an equal gray level.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the data driver is configured to drive the first pixel group to display a first image and the second pixel group to display a second image.

5. A display device, comprising:

a display panel including first and second pixel groups, wherein the first pixel group is configured to display a first image at a first view angle and the second pixel group is configured to display a second image at a second view angle unequal to the first view angle, and each of the pixel groups includes a color pixel, and the color pixel of the first pixel group and the color pixel of the second pixel group are with the same color; and

a data driver, providing a plurality of color voltages and electrically coupling to a plurality of impedance strings, and the color pixel of the first pixel group having a first color voltage and the color pixel of the second pixel group having a second color voltage;

wherein the first color voltage differs from the second color voltage when a frame signal is configured to display an equal gray level on the color pixel of the first pixel group and the color pixel of the second pixel group.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the data driver includes:

a first channel group configured to output the first color voltage; and

a second channel group configured to output the second color voltage.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein a first channel group property corresponding to the frame signal is different from a second channel group property corresponding to the frame signal.
