DISPLAY STREAM COMPRESSION (DCS) WITH BUILT-IN HIGH PASS FILTER

Sharpening of images in organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays through high pass filtering of edge data and use of additional line memory in display stream compression (DSC) part of a display driving integrated circuit (DDIC) is described herein. A system according to examples may locate edge points of line data by computing a difference between prediction data and filtered data, and adjust (e.g., add or subtract weights) the prediction data by comparing the computed difference with a predefined threshold. In some examples, a Sobel filter may be used with an additional line memory in the display stream compression (DSC) to obtain improved edge information. In other examples, the display stream compression (DSC)'s flatness check function may be used to identify and/or confirm edge data before adding or subtracting weights.
