The present invention solves the motion blur of moving images in hold-type display devices. An amount of a moving image is detected from image data included in frames and an image at the intermediate state between an image of the current frame and an image of the next frame is made as an interpolation image. Thus, the movement of the image can follow the movement of human eyes and the luminance of the interpolation image is changed, and thus, display can be made close to pseudo impulse type display. In this manner, hold-type display devices without motion blur and methods of driving the hold-type display devices can be provided.

An apparatus and method for improving the brightness of a polarized display at viewing angles off of the vector normal to the display panel. The advantages of the present invention will be most pronounced when employed in applications in which the viewing angle requirements are asymmetric, such as for avionics applications that require cross-cockpit viewability of the display. The present invention overcomes the limitations inherent in earlier designs by introducing a polarization rotation element as part of the display device to rotate the polarization of light from one orientation to another orientation. Through the use of the present invention, the axis in which the angle of sufficient off normal brightness is broadest can be reoriented to an axis that is most ideal for the particular application, thus dramatically improving the overall performance and efficiency of such displays.

Path computation involves determining (120, 930) an aggregate cost for a portion of the path, based at least on the power consumption attributable to use of interfaces along that portion, comparing (130, 930) the portion of the first possible path with a different portion corresponding to a different possible path for the traffic request, based at least on their respective aggregate costs, and selecting (140, 930) which portion to use for the traffic request based on the comparison. Having path selection influenced by the power consumption values, can lead to lower overall consumption in operation than relying only on optimizing nodes individually without regard to how the nodes are used. Path selection can take into account indications of which parts are in a power down mode, and can involve powering up such parts if needed.
