Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for spatially aware sub-pixel rendering are described herein. Embodiments allow graphics rendering systems to convey additional spatial information in displayed graphics by utilizing sub-pixels of displays. An embodiment includes sampling pixels into a buffer, re-sampling the pixels, at sub-pixel level, at different offset positions from their positions in the buffer and displaying the re-sampled pixels. For example, individual red, green and blue sub-pixels can be re-sampled at offset positions from their original positions within pixels. Since embodiments of the invention can control respective positions of each red, green and blue sub-pixel, embodiments can produce sharp graphics with low aliasing. Furthermore, sub-pixels are effectively used for communicating additional spatial information in rendered graphics.
