DYNAMICALLY SWITCHING DISPLAY IN USE BASED ON TEMPERATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17754695 titled 'DYNAMICALLY SWITCHING DISPLAY IN USE BASED ON TEMPERATURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device with a display and a display controller that can switch display content between two display portions based on the temperature condition of the surface of one of the display portions.

  • The device comprises a display with a first display portion and a second display portion.
  • The display controller assesses the temperature condition of the surface of the first display portion.
  • Based on the temperature condition, the display controller initiates a switching of display content from one display portion to the other.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Smartphones and tablets to optimize display performance based on temperature conditions.
  • Automotive displays to ensure visibility and functionality in varying temperature environments.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses:

  • Display performance issues related to temperature changes.
  • Ensuring optimal visibility and functionality of displays in different conditions.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved display performance and longevity.
  • Enhanced user experience by adapting display content based on temperature conditions.

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Consumer electronics industry for smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
  • Automotive industry for in-car displays and infotainment systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of temperature sensors in electronic devices to monitor and adjust performance based on temperature conditions.

What are the potential environmental impacts of this technology?

This technology could lead to more efficient use of displays, potentially reducing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of electronic devices.

How does this technology compare to existing display technologies in terms of cost?

This technology may add some cost due to the inclusion of temperature sensing and control mechanisms, but the benefits in terms of display performance and longevity could outweigh the additional cost for certain applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

A device comprising a display and a display controller. The display comprises a first display portion and a second display portion. The display controller is configured to assess a temperature condition of a surface of the first display portion; and responsive to the temperature condition, to initiate a switching of display content from one of the display portions to the other display portion.
