DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240280801 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
The abstract describes a display apparatus with a transparent display panel containing pixel devices, optical shutter parts on opposite sides of the pixels, and a processor controlling the display and shutter parts to alternate between displaying different images.
- The display apparatus includes a transparent display panel with pixel devices.
- There are first and second optical shutter parts on opposite sides of the pixel devices.
- A processor controls the display panel to switch between displaying different images at a set frequency.
- The processor also controls the optical shutter parts to open or close based on the output frequency.
- The second optical shutter part is closed when the first optical shutter part is open, and vice versa.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in smart glasses or heads-up displays for augmented reality applications. - It could also be applied in digital signage for advertising or information displays.
Problems Solved: - The technology allows for seamless switching between different images on a transparent display. - It provides a way to control the visibility of the display using optical shutter parts.
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with smooth transitions between images. - Improved visibility and control over the display content.
Commercial Applications: - Potential commercial applications include smart glasses for AR experiences, digital signage for advertising, and interactive displays in retail settings.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the processor determine when to switch between the first and second images? 2. What are the potential energy savings associated with using optical shutter parts in this display technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
a display apparatus includes a transparent display panel including pixel devices; a first optical shutter part provided at a first side of the pixel devices and a second optical shutter part provided at a second side of the pixel devices opposite from the first side; and at least one processor configured to: control the transparent display panel to alternately display a first image and a second image at a pre-set output frequency, control the first optical shutter part and the second optical shutter part to be in an open state or a closed state based on the pre-set output frequency, control the second optical shutter part to be in the closed state while the first optical shutter part is in the open state, and control the second optical shutter part to be in the open state while the first optical shutter part is in the closed state.
