The invention discloses an anti-candid method suitable for a
display device. The method comprises: arranging a
liquid crystal light valve in front of the
display device in parallel; if the
exposure mode of the camera is a global
exposure mode, setting a switching period T according to the
exposure time t1 to enable the exposure mode to meet the following conditions: mT is not equal to t1, 1 / T is greater than or equal to f0, and m is a positive even number greater than or equal to 2; and if the camera is in the roller
shutter type exposure mode, setting a switching period T according to the single-row scanning time t2 and the total scanning time t3 of the camera, so that the following conditions are met: t1 is less than T, 2T is less than t3, and 1 / T is greater than or equal to f0. The
liquid crystal light valve can be arranged before display setting; the switching period is reasonably set; on one hand, due to the visual residual characteristic of human eyes, it is ensured that a user cannot perceive the switching action of the
liquid crystal light valve and can still normally watch a display picture, and the watching experience of the user is good, and on the other hand, the exposure characteristic of the
digital camera equipment is utilized, so that stripes exist in a shot picture, the shot picture cannot be normally used, and the anti-candid purpose is indirectly achieved.
