ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING AN IN-DISPLAY OPTICAL SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18094579 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING AN IN-DISPLAY OPTICAL SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a camera sensor and a display panel with two different areas. The device also includes a display driver IC (DDI) that controls the display panel. The DDI obtains the luminance or gradation value of an image displayed in the first area and determines whether to control the image based on these values. The DDI can either power off certain pixels in the first area or display a different image in response to the determination.
- The electronic device includes a camera sensor and a display panel with two different areas.
- The display driver IC (DDI) controls the display panel.
- The DDI obtains the luminance or gradation value of an image displayed in the first area.
- The DDI determines whether to control the image based on these values.
- The DDI can power off certain pixels in the first area or display a different image in response to the determination.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in smartphones or tablets to improve image quality and power efficiency.
- It can be applied in digital cameras or video recorders to enhance image processing capabilities.
- It may find use in augmented reality devices to optimize display performance.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of inefficient power consumption by selectively powering off pixels in certain areas of the display.
- It addresses the issue of poor image quality by controlling the display based on the luminance or gradation values of the image.
- It provides a solution for optimizing display performance in various electronic devices.
Benefits
- By selectively powering off pixels, the technology improves power efficiency and extends battery life.
- Controlling the display based on image values enhances image quality and provides a better viewing experience.
- The technology optimizes display performance, resulting in improved overall device functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may include: a camera sensor, a display panel including a first area corresponding to an area in which the camera sensor is disposed, and a second area different from the first area, and a display driver IC (DDI) configured to drive the display panel, wherein the DDI is configured to: obtain at least one of a luminance value or a gradation value of a first image output to the first area, determine whether to control the first image output to the first area, based on at least one of the luminance value or the gradation value of the first image, and control the first image output to the first area in response to the determination, wherein the first image is controlled such that, based on at least one of the luminance value of the first image or the gradation value of the first image, a plurality of pixels disposed in the first area are powered off, or a third image different from the first image is output to the first area.
