Method and system for processing images with pixel mask insertion

Abstract

A method and a system for processing images with pixel mask insertion are provided. The system is operated in a control circuit of a display system by firmware or a circuitry. The display system preferably adopts an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel. For improving burn-in phenomenon caused by aging of the display panel, the control circuit performs the method for processing images with pixel mask insertion. In the method, the control circuit firstly receives frame images from a source, each of the frame images is divided into multiple blocks with the same or different sizes, and one or more masks with the same or different sizes are set for each of the blocks. The every mask is used to scan the block, and a color-reduction procedure is performed on the block by masking. The color-reduced frame image is outputted to the display panel.
