Method and device for reducing a mutual influence of pixels of a pixel group

A device for reducing a mutual influence of interleaved pixels, the device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• an interface via which the processing circuitry is configured to receive image data that includes pixels of a first image and pixels of a second image and to provide an output to a display device;
• wherein:
• coordinates of the pixels of the first image and coordinates of the pixels of the second image are interleaved;
• and
• the processing circuitry is configured to:
• modify values of the pixels of the received image data such that, for a first one of the pixels of the first image and a first one of the pixels of the second image that are interleaved at approximately a same coordinate, a first brightness factor is applied to the first one of the pixels of the first image and a second brightness factor is applied to the first one of the pixels of the second image according to a condition that there be a greater reduction in brightness to whichever of (i) the first one of the pixels of the first image and (ii) the first one of the pixels of the second image is brighter;
• and
• provide the modified pixels as the output for display in a display area of the display device so that the first image is viewable when the display area is observed from a first direction and the second image is viewable when the display area is observed from a second direction.

A computer readable storage device storing program code that is executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a method for reducing a mutual influence of interleaved pixels, the method comprising:

• receiving image data that includes pixels of a first image and pixels of a second image, wherein coordinates of the pixels of the first image and coordinates of the pixels of the second image are interleaved;
• modifying values of the pixels of the received image data such that, for a first one of the pixels of the first image and a first one of the pixels of the second image that are interleaved at approximately a same coordinate, a first brightness factor is applied to the first one of the pixels of the first image and a second brightness factor is applied to the first one of the pixels of the second image according to a condition that there be a greater reduction in brightness to whichever of (i) the first one of the pixels of the first image and (ii) the first one of the pixels of the second image is brighter;
• and
• outputting, by the processing circuitry, the modified pixels for display in a display area of a display device so that the first image is viewable when the display area is observed from a first direction and the second image is viewable when the display area is observed from a second direction.
