Abstract
A new resolution enhancement technology using the independent sub-pixel
driving technology was developed for the medical monochrome liquid crystal
displays (LCDs). Each pixel of monochrome LCDs, which employ the color
liquid crystal panels that its color filters are removed, consists of three
sub-pixels. In the new LCD system implemented with this new technology, the
sub-pixel intensities were modulated according to the detailed image
information, and consequently resolution was enhanced three times. Thus the
new technology realized a 15 mega-pixels (MP) super high-resolution LCD
(SHR-LCD) out of a conventional 5 MP LCD and a 9 MP SHR-LCD out of a
conventional 3 MP LCD. Physical measurements and perceptual evaluations
performed in this study proved that the achieved 15 MP (through our new
technology) was appropriate and efficient to depict the finer anatomical
structures such as the micro calcifications in mammography.
