DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149993 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a display and an optical sensor below the display. The display has two regions - one with a higher pixel density and another with a lower pixel density corresponding to the area of the optical sensor. The device's processor determines the brightness level for the lower pixel density region based on the brightness level and pixel densities of the higher and lower pixel density regions. It also identifies a third region along the edge of the higher pixel density region and sets the brightness of the lower pixel density region and the third region to the determined brightness level.
- Electronic device with a display and optical sensor
- Display has two regions with different pixel densities
- Processor determines brightness level for lower pixel density region based on brightness and pixel densities of the two regions
- Identifies a third region along the edge of the higher pixel density region
- Sets brightness of lower pixel density region and third region to determined brightness level
Potential Applications
- Smartphones and tablets with improved display brightness control
- E-readers with optimized brightness levels for different regions of the screen
- Automotive displays with adaptive brightness settings
Problems Solved
- Uneven brightness levels on displays with optical sensors
- Inefficient use of display brightness in different regions
- Difficulty in reading content on screens with varying brightness levels
Benefits
- Improved visibility and readability of content on displays
- Enhanced user experience with optimized brightness levels
- Energy efficiency by adjusting brightness based on pixel density
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, an optical sensor disposed below the display, and at least one processor, wherein the display includes a first region having a first pixel density and a second region having a second pixel density less than the first pixel density and corresponding to the disposed region of the optical sensor, the at least one processor determines a second brightness level for the second region on the basis of at least one among a first brightness level of the first region, the first pixel density, and the second pixel density when the first brightness level exceeds a predetermined threshold, identifies a third region, defined to include the second region, of the display along an edge of the first region, and sets the brightness of the second and third regions to the second brightness level.
