TRANSPARENT DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177652 titled 'TRANSPARENT DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a transparent display device that adjusts the peak luminance of on-screen image information based on the complexity of the background viewed through the device.

  • The display device includes a display panel with a transmission area and a pixel area.
  • It also features a sensing element with a camera that captures background image information.
  • A timing controller then uses this information to adjust the brightness of the displayed content.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Heads-up displays in vehicles
  • Augmented reality glasses
  • Smart windows in buildings

Problems Solved

  • Ensures optimal visibility of displayed content in varying background conditions
  • Prevents glare and reflection issues on transparent displays

Benefits

  • Improved user experience with transparent displays
  • Enhanced visibility and readability of on-screen information

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Automotive industry for in-car displays
  • Retail for interactive storefront displays
  • Architecture and design for smart windows

Possible Prior Art

One example of prior art in this field is the use of light sensors in mobile devices to adjust screen brightness based on ambient light conditions.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device determine background complexity?

The abstract mentions adjusting luminance based on background complexity, but it does not elaborate on how this complexity is measured or defined.

What is the impact on power consumption with this technology?

It is not clear from the abstract how this adjustment of peak luminance based on background complexity may affect the power consumption of the display device.


Original Abstract Submitted

a transparent display device may include a display panel having a transmission area and a pixel area, a sensing element having a first camera for obtaining and supplying background image information about a rear background viewed through the transparent display device, and a timing controller configured to adjust a peak luminance of on-screen image information displayed on the display panel based on background complexity using the background image information supplied from the sensing element.
