FOVEATED DISPLAY BURN-IN STATISTICS AND BURN-IN COMPENSATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240257710 titled 'FOVEATED DISPLAY BURN-IN STATISTICS AND BURN-IN COMPENSATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The patent application describes a device with a display that can adjust the resolution of different regions based on compensated image data to account for pixel aging.
- The device includes image processing circuitry that applies gains to compensate for pixel aging due to burn-in, based on historical data of pixel utilization.
- History updates are generated by obtaining boundary data between regions, estimating aging amounts, and dynamically resampling the aging amounts based on the boundaries.
- The resampling factors for different regions are determined based on the boundary data to ensure accurate compensation for pixel aging.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in displays for electronic devices to prolong the lifespan and maintain image quality over time. - It can also be applied in digital signage systems where displays are constantly on and susceptible to burn-in.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of pixel aging and burn-in on displays, which can degrade image quality and shorten the lifespan of the device. - Provides a solution to dynamically adjust resolution in different regions to compensate for pixel aging and maintain consistent image quality.
Benefits: - Extends the lifespan of displays by compensating for pixel aging. - Improves image quality and overall user experience by dynamically adjusting resolution based on pixel utilization.
Commercial Applications: Title: Dynamic Resolution Adjustment Technology for Displays This technology can be commercially used in smartphones, tablets, TVs, and digital signage systems to enhance display longevity and image quality, leading to improved customer satisfaction and brand reputation.
Questions about Dynamic Resolution Adjustment Technology for Displays: 1. How does the device determine the resampling factors for different regions based on boundary data? The device determines the resampling factors by analyzing the boundary data between adjustable regions and dynamically adjusting the aging compensation based on pixel utilization.
2. What are the potential long-term benefits of using this technology in electronic devices? Using this technology in electronic devices can significantly extend the lifespan of displays, improve image quality, and enhance user experience, leading to increased customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Original Abstract Submitted
a device may include a display that display an image frame that is divided into adjustable regions having respective resolutions based on compensated image data. the device may also include image processing circuitry to generate the compensated image data by applying gains that compensate for burn-in related aging of pixels of the display. the gains are based on an aggregation of history updates indicative of estimated amounts of aging associated with pixel utilization. the circuitry may generate a history update by obtaining boundary data indicative of the boundaries between the adjustable regions, determining an estimated amount of aging, and dynamically resampling the estimated amount of aging by resampling a portion of the estimated amount of aging corresponding to an adjustable region by a factor and resampling of a different portion of the estimated amount of aging corresponding to another adjustable region by a different factor based on the boundary data.
