Abstract
A method for adjusting properties of a display includes displaying a first pluge image on the display to a user, wherein the display includes a plurality of locations, wherein the first pluge image comprises a first plurality of output values associated with the plurality of locations, thereafter displaying a second pluge image on the display to the user, wherein the second pluge image comprises a second plurality of output values associated with the plurality of locations, wherein the first plurality of output values are different from the second plurality of output values, and receiving a display adjustment input from the user, wherein the display adjustment input from the user is in response to the user viewing the first pluge image on the display and in response to the second pluge image on the display.

A method for calibrating display device, the display device being capable of presenting viewable images on a display area, the method comprising:
- a) determining a plurality of display portions of the display area, including at least a first display portion and a second display portion, wherein the plurality of display portions collectively define a display image;
- b) determining at least a first pattern for the first display portion and a second pattern for the second display portion;
- c) outputting a first display image using the display device, for at least a first display period, the first display image comprising a first set of intensity values mapped to the first pattern and a second set of intensity values mapped to the second pattern;
- d) outputting a second display image using the display device, for at least a second display period, the second display image comprising a third set of intensity values mapped to the first pattern and a fourth set of intensity values mapped to the second pattern, wherein the third set of intensity values is different from the first set of intensity values;
- e) repeating steps c) and d) for a time sufficient for a changing display to be observed by a user for calibration purposes;
- and
- f) accepting user input reflecting user observation of the changing display.
A computer program product that comprises a non-transitory tangible media storing computer-executable code for execution upon a computer system including a processor, the computer program product comprising:
- code that directs the processor to determine a plurality of display portions of the display area, including at least a first display portion and a second display portion, wherein the plurality of display portions collectively define a display image;
- code that directs the processor to determine at least a first pattern for the first display portion and a second pattern for the second display portion;
- code that directs the processor to output a first display image using the display device, for at least a first display period, the first display image comprising a first set of intensity values mapped to the first pattern and a second set of intensity values mapped to the second pattern;
- code that directs the processor to output a second display image using the display device, for at least a second display period, the second display image comprising a third set of intensity values mapped to the first pattern and a fourth set of intensity values mapped to the second pattern, wherein the third set of intensity values is different from the first set of intensity values;
- code that directs the processor to repeat a varying display of at least the first display image and the second display image for a time sufficient for a changing display to be observed by a user for calibration purposes;
- and
- code that directs the processor to respond to user input reflecting user observation of the varying display.
A display driving device comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- a) determine a plurality of display portions of the display area, including at least a first display portion and a second display portion, wherein the plurality of display portions collectively define a display image;
- b) determine at least a first pattern for the first display portion and a second pattern for the second display portion;
- c) output a first display image using the display device, for at least a first display period, the first display image comprising a first set of intensity values mapped to the first pattern and a second set of intensity values mapped to the second pattern;
- d) output a second display image using the display device, for at least a second display period, the second display image comprising a third set of intensity values mapped to the first pattern and a fourth set of intensity values mapped to the second pattern, wherein the third set of intensity values is different from the first set of intensity values;
- e) repeat steps c) and d) for a time sufficient for a changing display to be observed by a user for calibration purposes;
- and
- f) accept user input reflecting user observation of the changing display.
