Minor enhancement of display on Nook2 #114

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Nook2 really lacks optimization over its e-ink screen. By adding a 
functionality of changing the Gamma value, we can achieve better display 
results(better than kindle maybe :) ).  Attached is the patch.  It's not 
elegant but I just hope it would be of some help. 

The copy_gamma function copies the pixels and updates their RGB value according 
to the Gamma table. The table is pre-generated using the algorithm described 
here:

fly/

I hard coded the table there as I feel the gamma 0.33 is most suitable for 
Nook2. It's possible to update the table and add a user's interface to change 
the value.

Good idea. But I think it should be customizable so it's n ot just for one 
device. Also, this should work in Gray mode.
