[0020] A wearable device may be used to provide augmented reality (AR) services, virtual reality (VR) services, mixed reality (MR) services, and / or extended reality (XR) services. For example, the wearable device may be worn on a part of the user's body (e.g., the head and / or face) as AR glasses, a video see-through (VST) device, or a VR device. For example, the wearable device may include a display positioned in front of the user's eyes when worn by the user. For example, the display may be used to display images (or content) for the AR service, the VR service, the MR service, and / or the XR service. For example, since the wearable device is worn on a part of the user's body, operations of the display to reduce power consumption due to displaying the images may be executed within the wearable device. The wearable device may include components for executing the operations. The above components can be exemplified within the description of Fig. 1.

[0021] Figure 1 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary wearable device.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 1, a wearable device (100) may include a processor (110) and a display (120).

[0023] For example, the processor (110) may be used to generate, obtain, and / or render an image, a screen, and / or content to be displayed on the display (120). For example, the processor (110) may provide and / or transmit the image, the screen, and / or the content to the display (120). For example, the processor (110) may provide and / or transmit data, information, signals, commands, and / or instructions for processing related to the image, the screen, and / or the content to the display (120). As a non-limiting example, the data, the information, the signals, the commands, and / or the instructions may represent a portion of the image (e.g., a first portion of the image as exemplified below) that has visual characteristics that differ from the visual characteristics of another portion of the image (e.g., a second portion of the image as exemplified below). For example, the data, the information, the signal, the command, and / or the instruction may include address information of the portion of the image.

[0024] For example, the processor (110) may include at least a portion of the processor (820) of FIG. 8, or may correspond to at least a portion of the processor (820) of FIG. 8. For example, the processor (110) may be operatively coupled with the display (120). For example, the processor (110) being operatively coupled with the display (120) may indicate that the processor (110) is connected to the display (120) via an interface (112). For example, the interface (112) may be used to transmit the image, the screen, the content, the data, the information, the signal, the command, and / or the instruction transmitted from the processor (110) to the display (120). As a non-limiting example, the interface (112) may include a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI). For example, operatively coupling a processor (110) with a display (120) may indicate that the display (120) is controlled by the processor (110). As a non-limiting example, the processor (110) may control the display (120) based on a video mode of a display serial interface (DSI).

[0025] For example, the display (120) may be used to display the image, the screen, and / or the content. For example, the image, the screen, and / or the content may be displayed based on processing of the display (120) executed based on the data, the information, the signal, the command, and / or the instruction.

[0026] For example, the display (120) may include a display area positioned in front of the user's eyes when the wearable device (100) is worn by the user. For example, since the display area is generally positioned closer to the user's eyes than the display area of ​​a display of a handheld device such as a smartphone, the size of the display area of ​​the display (120) may be smaller than the size of the display area of ​​the display of the handheld device. For example, since the size of the display area of ​​the display (120) is smaller than the size of the display area of ​​the display of the handheld device, the level of integration of the pixels (or subpixels) of the display (120) may be higher than the level of integration of the pixels (or subpixels) of the display of the handheld device. For example, the size of each of the pixels (or subpixels) of the display (120) may be smaller than the size of each of the pixels (or subpixels) of the display of the handheld device. As a non-limiting example, the size (e.g., width) of each of the pixels (or sub-pixels) of the display (120) may be about several tens of micrometers (e.g., about 1 micrometer to about 50 micrometers).

[0027] For example, the display (120) may include a driving layer (e.g., a backplane) and an emitting layer on the driving layer. For example, the driving layer may be formed on (or formed of) a silicon substrate for pixels (or sub-pixels) having a higher integration than the pixels (or sub-pixels) of the display of the portable device. For example, the emitting layer may include a plurality of emitting elements driven by the driving layer. As a non-limiting example, the display (120) may include an OLEDoS (organic light emitting diode on silicon) or an LEDoS (light emitting diode on silicon).

[0028] For example, since the driving layer is formed on the silicon substrate, the display (120) may include a plurality of memory cells (122) (or a plurality of cell memories (122)) adjacent to each of the plurality of light-emitting elements. For example, the plurality of memory cells (122) may be connected to each of the plurality of light-emitting elements. For example, the connection of each of the plurality of memory cells (122) to each of the plurality of light-emitting elements may indicate that each of the plurality of memory cells (122) is connected to each of the plurality of light-emitting elements through a driving circuit (e.g., a circuit for pulse width modulation (PWM) as exemplified below). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, each of the sub-pixels of the display (120) may include each of the plurality of light-emitting elements and each of the plurality of memory cells (122). For example, the display (120) may have a MIP (memory in pixel) structure. A display (120) having the above MIP structure can be exemplified within the description of FIG. 2.

[0029] Figure 2 illustrates a display of an exemplary wearable device.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 2, the display (120) may include a plurality of sub-pixels (200). For example, each of the plurality of sub-pixels (200) may include a memory cell, a circuit for PWM, and a light-emitting element. For example, the light-emitting element may be configured to emit light. As a non-limiting example, the light may include red light, green light, blue light, or white light.

[0031] For example, one sub-pixel (200-K) (K is a natural number greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, and N is the number of a plurality of sub-pixels (200)) may include a memory cell (122-K), a circuit (202-K) for PWM connected to the memory cell (122-K), and a light-emitting element (203-K) connected to the circuit (202-K) for PWM.

[0032] For example, a circuit (202-K) for PWM can obtain a bit sequence from a memory cell (122-K). For example, a circuit (202-K) for PWM can generate or obtain one or more pulse signals corresponding to the bit sequence.

[0033] For example, the light emitting element (203-K) may be configured to emit light according to a PWM technique (or PWM driving, or PWM control) based on one or more of the pulse signals. For example, the brightness (or grayscale) of light emitted from the light emitting element (203-K) may be changed according to the width of each of the one or more pulse signals.

[0034] Referring again to FIG. 1, since the wearable device (100) is worn on a portion of the user's body, the capacity of the rechargeable battery (not shown in FIG. 1) within the wearable device (100) may be relatively small for light weight. As a non-limiting example, the wearable device (100) may display images on the display (120) using foveated rendering to compensate for the relatively small capacity of the rechargeable battery. For example, the display (120) may receive information about an image from the processor (110) through the driving layer, and may cause each of the first light-emitting elements in the light-emitting layer, which is used for displaying a first portion of the image to be recognized (or gazed) by the foveal vision of a user wearing the wearable device (100), to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences, and may cause each of the second light-emitting elements in the light-emitting layer, for displaying a second portion of the image to be recognized by the peripheral vision of the user, to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the second bit sequences. For example, a bit depth of each of the first bit sequences may be higher than a bit depth of each of the second bit sequences. For example, the display (120) may display the image based on the emission of each of the first light-emitting elements and the emission of each of the second light-emitting elements. Displaying the image based on the first bit sequences and the second bit sequences can be exemplified within the description of FIG. 3a.

[0035] FIG. 3a illustrates an example of displaying an image based on first bit sequences and second bit sequences.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 3a, the display (120) can display an image (300) using foveated rendering.

[0037] For example, a first portion (301) of an image (300) displayed on a display (120) can be recognized or gazed upon by foveal vision. For example, the first portion (301) of the image (300) can represent a portion of the image (300) identified according to the gaze of a user wearing the wearable device (100). For example, the first portion (301) of the image (300) can represent a portion of the image (300) where the gaze corresponding to the foveal vision is located. For example, the first portion (301) of the image (300) can represent a portion of the image (300) that is focused upon by a user viewing the image (300). For example, the first portion (301) of the image (300) can be circular, as illustrated in FIG. 3A. For example, the first portion (301) of the image (300) may be rectangular or triangular, unlike the illustration in FIG. 3A. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first portion (301) of the image (300) may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the area recognized by the central vision.

[0038] For example, a first portion (301) of an image (300) displayed on a display (120) may be identified based on a position of a gaze of a user wearing the wearable device (100) identified from images obtained through at least one camera of the wearable device (100) facing the eye of the user. For example, the first light-emitting elements for displaying the first portion (301) of the image (300) may be identified by the display (120) based on address information (or data) received from the processor (110) and indicating a position of the first portion (301) of the image (300) according to the identification. For example, the address information may be received from the processor (110) at a different reception timing that is distinct from the reception timing of the information about the image (300). For example, the address information may be received from the processor (110) before (or immediately before) the information about the image (300) is received. For example, the address information may be received from the processor (110) together with the information about the image. For example, the address information may be included in the information about the image (300) received from the processor (110). For example, the address information may be included outside the area (333) for the image (300) displayed on the display (120). For example, the address information may be included in an area (334) located outside the area (333).

[0039] As a non-limiting example, if the first part (301) of the image (300) is round, the address information may indicate a center point of the first part (301) of the image (300) and a width (e.g., radius or diameter) of the first part (301) of the image (300). As a non-limiting example, if the first part (301) of the image (300) is rectangular, the address information may indicate a start address of the first part (301) of the image (300) (e.g., an address of the leftmost uppermost corner of the image (300)) and a last address of the first part (301) of the image (300) (e.g., an address of the rightmost lowermost corner of the image (300)).

[0040] For example, the second portion (302) of the image (300) displayed on the display (120) may be recognized or gazed upon by peripheral vision outside the zone gazed upon by the fovea centrails. For example, the second portion (302) of the image (300) may represent a portion of the image (300) that is distinct from the first portion (301) of the image (300). For example, the second portion (302) of the image (300) may represent a portion of the image (300) that is located outside the line of sight corresponding to the foveal vision. For example, the second portion (302) of the image (300) may be located around the first portion (301) of the image (300). As a non-limiting example, the second portion (302) of the image (300) may represent a portion of the image (300) that is spaced apart from the position of the gaze by a distance greater than a reference distance. For example, the second portion (302) of the image (300) may represent a portion of the image (300) that is within the field of view of a user viewing the image (300) but is not focused on by the user.

[0041] For example, the resolution of the first part (301) of the image (300) displayed on the display (120) may be higher than the resolution of the second part (302) of the image (300) displayed on the display (120). For example, the gradation (331) expressed within the first part (301) of the image (300) displayed on the display (120) may be richer than the gradation (332) expressed within the second part (302) of the image (300) displayed on the display (120).

[0042] For example, the display (120) can display the image (300) by causing each of the first light-emitting elements (203-L) used for displaying the first part (301) of the image (300) to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences (310), and causing each of the second light-emitting elements (203-M) used for displaying the second part (302) of the image (300) to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the second bit sequences (320). For example, since the bit depth (311) (e.g., 10-bit) of each of the first bit sequences (310) is higher than the bit depth (321) (e.g., 8-bit) of each of the second bit sequences (320), the display (120) can display the first portion (301) of the image (300) having an improved representation than the representation of the second portion (302) of the image (300).

[0043] For example, each of the first bit sequences (310) may further include one or more bits (312) for each of the second bit sequences (320). As a non-limiting example, the one or more bits (312) may be positioned from the rightmost of each of the first bit sequences (310), as illustrated in FIG. 3A. For example, the one or more bits (312) may include the least significant bit (LSB) and the 9 th may include the MSB (most significant bit). As a non-limiting example, one or more bits (312) may be located from the leftmost of each of the first bit sequences (310), unlike the illustration in FIG. 3A. For example, one or more bits (312) may include the MSB and the 2 nd May include, but is not limited to, MSB.

[0044] For example, each of the first light-emitting elements (203-L) may emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences (310), and each of the second light-emitting elements (203-M) may emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the second bit sequences (320). The emission of each of the first light-emitting elements (203-L) according to the PWM technique and the emission of each of the second light-emitting elements (203-M) according to the PWM technique may be exemplified within the description of Fig. 3b.

[0045] FIG. 3b illustrates an example in which each of the first light-emitting elements emits light using each of the first bit sequences and each of the second light-emitting elements emits light using each of the second bit sequences.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 3b, one of the first bit sequences may be '1101110111', and one of the second bit sequences may be '11011101'. For example, the bit sequence of '1101110111' may be '11' (e.g., LSB and 9 of '1101110111') located from the rightmost side with respect to the bit sequence of '11011101'. th It may further include MSB).

[0047] For example, a circuit for PWM (e.g., a circuit (202) for PWM) can generate or obtain pulse signals within a time interval (350) of a horizontal synchronization signal based on the bit sequence of '1101110111'. For example, the circuit for PWM can generate a pulse signal (361) having a width (381) based on the MSB of the bit sequence of '1101110111', and 2 of the bit sequence of '1101110111'. nd Generate a pulse signal (362) having a width (382) based on the MSB, and 4 of the bit sequence '1101110111' th Generate a pulse signal (364) having a width (384) based on the MSB, and 5 of the bit sequence of '1101110111' th Generate a pulse signal (365) having a width (385) based on the MSB, and 6 of the bit sequence '1101110111' th Generate a pulse signal (366) having a width (386) based on the MSB, and 8 of the bit sequence '1101110111' th Generate a pulse signal (368) having a width (388) based on the MSB, and 9 of the bit sequence '1101110111' thA pulse signal (369) having a width (389) can be generated based on the MSB, and a pulse signal (370) having a width (390) can be generated based on the LSB of the bit sequence of '1101110111'.

[0048] For example, a circuit for PWM (e.g., a circuit (202) for PWM) can generate or obtain pulse signals based on the bit sequence of '11011101'. For example, the circuit for PWM can generate a pulse signal (361) having a width (381) based on the MSB of the bit sequence of '11011101', and 2 of the bit sequence of '11011101'. nd Generate a pulse signal (362) having a width (382) based on the MSB, and 4 of the bit sequence of '11011101' th Generate a pulse signal (364) having a width (384) based on the MSB, and 5 of the bit sequence of '11011101' th Generate a pulse signal (365) having a width (385) based on the MSB, and 6 of the bit sequence of '11011101' th A pulse signal (366) having a width (386) can be generated based on the MSB, and a pulse signal (368) having a width (388) can be generated based on the LSB of the bit sequence of '11011101'.

[0049] For example, a light-emitting element (e.g., one of the first light-emitting elements (203-L)) used for displaying a first portion (301) of an image (300) can emit light based on a pulse signal (361), a pulse signal (362), a pulse signal (364), a pulse signal (365), a pulse signal (366), a pulse signal (368), a pulse signal (369), and a pulse signal (370). For example, the light-emitting element can emit light for a time (391) corresponding to widths (381) and (382), emit light for a time (392) corresponding to widths (384), (385), and (386), and emit light for a time (393) corresponding to widths (368), (369), and (370), within a time interval (350).

[0050] For example, a light-emitting element (e.g., one of the second light-emitting elements (203-M)) used for displaying a second portion (302) of an image (300) can emit light based on a pulse signal (361), a pulse signal (362), a pulse signal (364), a pulse signal (365), a pulse signal (366), and a pulse signal (368). For example, the light-emitting element can emit light for a time (391) corresponding to width (381) and width (382), emit light for a time (392) corresponding to width (384), width (385), and width (386), and emit light for a time (394) corresponding to width (368) within a time interval (350).

[0051] For example, since the bit depth of the bit sequence (e.g., '1101110111') provided for the light-emitting element for displaying the first part (301) of the image (300) is higher than the bit depth of the bit sequence (e.g., '11011101') provided for the light-emitting element for displaying the second part (302) of the image (300), the light-emitting element for displaying the first part (301) of the image (300) can emit more light for a time (395) than the light-emitting element for displaying the second part (302) of the image (300). For example, since the light-emitting element for displaying the first part (301) of the image (300) emits more light for a period of time (395) than the light-emitting element for displaying the second part (302) of the image (300), the quality of the first part (301) of the image (300) displayed on the display (120) may be higher than the quality of the second part (302) of the image (300) displayed on the display (120). For example, the first portion (301) of the image (300) may have a higher color gamut (e.g., sRGB (REC-709), P3, or REC-2020) than the second portion (302) of the image (300), a richer grayscale level than the second portion (302) of the image (300), a higher resolution (e.g., FHD or 4K) than the second portion (302) of the image (300), and / or a higher brightness (e.g., standard dynamic range (SDR) or high dynamic range (HDR)) than the second portion (302) of the image (300). For example, the display (120) may provide enhanced visibility at low grayscale or low gray-level. For example, the display (120) may provide enhanced visibility at low light.

[0052] Referring again to FIG. 3A, as a non-limiting example, the image (300) may further include a third portion (303). For example, the third portion (303) may be positioned between the first portion (301) and the second portion (302). For example, the third portion (303) may have a resolution between the resolution of the first portion (301) and the resolution of the second portion (302). For example, the tones expressed within the third portion (303) may be less rich than the tones of the first portion (301) and more rich than the tones of the second portion (302).

[0053] For example, the display (120) can display the third portion (303) of the image (300) by emitting light using each of the third light-emitting elements (not shown in FIG. 3A) for displaying the third portion (303) of the image (300) according to the PWM technique using each of the third bit sequences (not shown in FIG. 3A). For example, the bit depth of each of the third bit sequences can be higher than the bit depth of each of the second bit sequences (320) and lower than the bit depth of each of the first bit sequences (310).

[0054] Referring back to FIG. 1, the maximum storage size (or maximum storage capacity) of each of the plurality of memory cells (122) may be larger than the size of each of the first bit sequences. As a non-limiting example, the maximum storage size of each of the plurality of memory cells (122) may correspond to the size of each of the second bit sequences or may be equal to the size of each of the second bit sequences. For example, the display (120) may further display one or more bits (e.g., one or more bits (312) of FIG. 3a and / or the LSB and 9 of the bit sequence '1101110111' of FIG. 3b) included in each of the second bit sequences. thIt may further include a memory (123) for storing the MSB. The memory (123) may be referred to as a side memory.

[0055] The method of using memory (123) can be implemented in various ways within the display (120).

[0056] For example, the display (120) can obtain each of the first bit sequences by adding one or more bits obtained from the memory (123) to each of the first set of bit sequences obtained from some of the plurality of memory cells (122). For example, the display (120) can obtain each of the second bit sequences from another part of the plurality of memory cells (122) without using the memory (123) (or bypassing obtaining the one or more bits from the memory (123). Obtaining each of the first bit sequences can be exemplified within the description of FIG. 4A, and obtaining each of the second bit sequences can be exemplified within the description of FIG. 4B.

[0057] FIG. 4A illustrates an example of obtaining each of the first bit sequences by adding one or more bits obtained from a memory to each of the first set of bit sequences obtained from some of a plurality of memory cells.

[0058] Figure 4b illustrates an example of obtaining each of the second bit sequences from a different portion of a plurality of memory cells.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 4A, the display (120) may obtain each of a plurality of bit sequences from the information about the image received from the processor (110). For example, the display (120) may store each of the plurality of bit sequences in a plurality of memory cells (122). For example, the display (120) may obtain each of the plurality of bit sequences from each of the plurality of memory cells (122) after the storage. For example, the display (120) may store one or more bits (402) obtained from the processor (110) (or one or more bits (402) obtained from the information received from the processor (110)) in the memory (123) according to the address information. For example, the display (120) may obtain each of the first bit sequences (310) by adding one or more bits (402) to each of the first set of bit sequences (401) obtained from a portion (122-L) of the plurality of memory cells (122) each connected to the first light-emitting elements (203-L), as represented by arrows (411) and (412). For example, one or more bits (402) within the first bit sequences (310) may be positioned after (or to the right of) the LSB of each of the first set of bit sequences (401), such as in state (421). For example, one or more bits (402) within the first bit sequences (310) may be positioned before (or to the left of) the MSB of each of the first set of bit sequences (401), such as in state (422). For example, the display (120) can cause each of the first light-emitting elements (203-L) to emit light by providing each of the first bit sequences (310) to the circuit (202-L) for PWM.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 4B, the display (120) can obtain each of the second bit sequences (320) by bypassing adding one or more bits (e.g., one or more bits (402)) to each of the second set of bit sequences (431) obtained from another portion (122-M) of the plurality of memory cells (122) each connected to the second light-emitting elements (203-M), as indicated by arrows (441). For example, obtaining each of the second bit sequences (320) by bypassing adding one or more bits (e.g., one or more bits (402)) to each of the second set of bit sequences (431) can indicate obtaining the second bit sequences (320), which are the second set of bit sequences (431), from another portion (122-M) of the plurality of memory cells (122) without using the memory (123). However, this is not limited thereto. For example, obtaining each of the second bit sequences (320) by bypassing adding one or more bits (e.g., one or more bits (402)) to each of the second set of bit sequences (431) may also mean obtaining the second bit sequences (320) by adding one or more bits that are null to each of the second set of bit sequences (431). For example, the display (120) may cause each of the second light-emitting elements (203-M) to emit light by providing each of the second bit sequences (320) to the circuit (202-M) for PWM.

[0061] For example, the display (120) can display the image (e.g., image (300)) based on the light emission of each of the first light emitting elements (203-L) and the light emission of each of the second light emitting elements (203-M).

[0062] Referring back to FIG. 1, unlike the examples of FIGS. 4A and 4B, the display (120) may acquire each of the first bit sequences prior to performing storage within a portion of the plurality of memory cells (122) by adding the one or more bit sequences to each of the first set of bit sequences obtained based on the information about the image received from the processor (110), store a portion of the first bit sequences within the memory (123), and store the remaining portion of the first bit sequences within the portion of the plurality of memory cells (122) respectively connected to the first light-emitting elements. For example, the display (120) may store the second bit sequences, which are the second set of bit sequences, within the other portion of the plurality of memory cells (122) respectively connected to the second light-emitting elements. Storing said part of each of said first bit sequences in the memory (123) and storing said remaining part of each of said first bit sequences in said part of a plurality of memory cells (122) may be exemplified within the description of FIG. 5a, and storing said second bit sequences in said other part of a plurality of memory cells (122) may be exemplified within the description of FIG. 5b.

[0063] FIG. 5a illustrates an example of storing each of the first bit sequences obtained using the first circuit into a memory cell and memory through the second circuit.

[0064] Figure 5b illustrates an example of storing each of the second bit sequences in a memory cell through a second circuit.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 5A, the display (120) may obtain a plurality of bit sequences from the information about the image received from the processor (110). For example, the display (120) may include a first circuit (551) for obtaining each of the first bit sequences (310) by extending or expanding each of the first set of bit sequences (401) to be at least partially stored in a portion (122-L) of the plurality of memory cells (122) respectively connected to the first light-emitting elements (203-L) among the plurality of bit sequences, and a second circuit (552) for storing a portion of the first bit sequences (310) in the memory (123) and storing the remaining portion of the first bit sequences (310) in the portion (122-L) of the plurality of memory cells (122). For example, the display (120) can extend each of the first set of bit sequences (401) to be stored within a portion (122-L) of the plurality of memory cells (122) using the first circuit (551). For example, the display (120) can obtain each of the first set of bit sequences (310) extended from each of the first set of bit sequences (401) by adding one or more bits (402) to each of the first set of bit sequences (401). For example, the one or more bits (402) can be generated by the processor (110) and provided to the display (120) from the processor (110). For example, the one or more bits (402) can also be generated by the display (120) based on the address information (or command) from the processor (110).For example, the display (120) may use the second circuit (552) to divide each of the first bit sequences (310), store a portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained by the division in the memory (123), and store the remaining portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained by the division in a portion (122-L) of a plurality of memory cells (122). As a non-limiting example, the portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) may be one or more bits (402), and the remaining portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) may be a first set of bit sequences (401). Although not shown in FIG. 5A, the display (120) can provide each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained by adding a portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained from the memory (123), as shown in FIG. 4A, to the remaining portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained from a portion (122-L) of the plurality of memory cells (122), thereby causing each of the first light-emitting elements (203-L) to emit light by providing each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained to the circuit (202-L) for PWM.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 5B, the display (120) can obtain a second set of bit sequences (431) to be stored in another portion (122-M) of the plurality of memory cells (122) each connected to the second light-emitting elements (203-M) among the plurality of bit sequences as second bit sequences (320) without using the first circuit (551) (or by bypassing the first circuit (551). For example, the display (120) can store each of the second bit sequences (320) in another portion (122-M) of the plurality of memory cells (122) using the second circuit (552) (or without using the second circuit (552)). Although not shown in FIG. 5b, the display (120) can cause each of the second light-emitting elements (203-M) to emit light by providing each of the second bit sequences (320) to the circuit (202-M) for PWM, as shown in FIG. 4b.

[0067] For example, the display (120) can display the image (e.g., image (300)) based on the light emission of each of the first light emitting elements (203-L) and the light emission of each of the second light emitting elements (203-M).

[0068] Referring back to FIG. 1, unlike the examples of FIGS. 4A to 5B, the display (120) may obtain a plurality of bit sequences including the first bit sequences and the second bit sequences from the information about the image received from the processor (110). For example, the display (120) may store a portion of each of the first bit sequences in the memory (123) and store a remaining portion of each of the first bit sequences in each of a first set of memory cells that are part of a plurality of memory cells (122) that are each connected to the first light-emitting elements. For example, the display (120) may store each of the second bit sequences in each of a second set of memory cells that are another portion of the plurality of memory cells (122) that are each connected to the second light-emitting elements. Storing a portion of each of the first bit sequences in memory (123) and storing the remaining portion of each of the first bit sequences in each of the first set of memory cells may be exemplified within the description of FIG. 6a, and storing the second bit sequences in each of the second set of memory cells may be exemplified within the description of FIG. 6b.

[0069] FIG. 6a illustrates an example of storing each of the first bit sequences in a memory cell and memory through a second circuit.

[0070] FIG. 6b illustrates an example of storing each of the second bit sequences in a memory cell and memory through a second circuit.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 6A, the display (120) may obtain each of the first bit sequences (310) from the information about the image, segment each of the first bit sequences (310) using the second circuit (552), store each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained by the segmentation in the memory (123), and store the remaining part of each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained by the segmentation in each of the first set of memory cells (122-L) (or in a part (122-L) of a plurality of memory cells (122). As a non-limiting example, the part of each of the first bit sequences (310) may be one or more bits (402), and the remaining part of each of the first bit sequences (310) may be the first set of bit sequences (401). Although not shown in FIG. 6A, the display (120) can cause each of the first light-emitting elements (203-L) to emit light by providing each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained by adding a portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained from the memory (123), as shown in FIG. 4A, to the circuit (202-L) for PWM to the remaining portion of each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained from each of the first set of memory cells (122-L).

[0072] Referring to FIG. 6B, the display (120) can store each of the second bit sequences (320) within each of the second set of memory cells (122-M) (or within another portion (122-M) of the plurality of memory cells (122)) using the second circuit (552) (or without using the second circuit (552)). Although not shown in FIG. 6B, the display (120) can cause each of the second light-emitting elements (203-M) to emit light by providing each of the second bit sequences (320) to the circuit (202-M) for PWM, as shown in FIG. 4B.

[0073] For example, the display (120) can display the image (e.g., image (300)) based on the light emission of each of the first light emitting elements (203-L) and the light emission of each of the second light emitting elements (203-M).

[0074] Referring back to FIG. 1, the display (120) may include only a plurality of memory cells (122), without a memory (123). For example, when the display (120) does not include a memory (123), the maximum storage size of each of the plurality of memory cells (122) may correspond to the size of each of the first bit sequences. When the display (120) does not include a memory (123), operations for displaying the image using the first bit sequences and the second bit sequences may be exemplified within the description of FIG. 7A and the description of FIG. 7B.

[0075] FIG. 7a illustrates an example of storing each of the bit sequences of the first set into a memory cell through the first circuit as each of the first bit sequences.

[0076] FIG. 7b illustrates an example of storing each of the second bit sequences obtained by removing one or more bits from each of the second set of bit sequences in a memory cell through the first circuit.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 7A, the display (120) can obtain a plurality of bit sequences from the information about the image received from the processor (110). For example, the display (120) can identify a first set of bit sequences (701) and a second set of bit sequences (e.g., the second set of bit sequences (731) of FIG. 7B) among the plurality of bit sequences. For example, the display (120) can store the first set of bit sequences (701) as first bit sequences (310) in a first set of memory cells (122-L), which are part of a plurality of memory cells (122) respectively connected to the first light-emitting elements (203-L), through the third circuit (703) (or bypassing the use of the third circuit (703). For example, storing the first set of bit sequences (701) as the first bit sequences (310) within the first set of memory cells (122-L) by bypassing the use of the third circuit (703) may indicate storing the first bit sequences (310), which are the first set of bit sequences (701), within the first set of memory cells (122-L) without using the third circuit (703). For example, the display (120) may cause each of the first light-emitting elements (203-L) to emit light by providing each of the first bit sequences (310) obtained from each of the first set of memory cells (122-L) to the circuit (202-L) for PWM.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 7B, the display (120) may include a third circuit (703) for removing one or more bits (732) from a second set of bit sequences (731) among the plurality of bit sequences. For example, the display (120) may obtain second bit sequences (320) by removing one or more bits (732) from the second set of bit sequences (731) using the third circuit (703). For example, the display (120) may store each of the second bit sequences (320) in each of the second set of memory cells (122-M), which are another part of the plurality of memory cells (122) respectively connected to the second light-emitting elements (203-M). For example, the display (120) can cause each of the second light-emitting elements (203-M) to emit light by providing each of the second bit sequences (320) obtained from each of the second set of memory cells (122-M) to the circuit (202-M) for PWM.

[0079] For example, the display (120) can display the image (e.g., image (300)) based on the light emission of each of the first light emitting elements (203-L) and the light emission of each of the second light emitting elements (203-M).

[0080] Referring again to FIG. 1, the display (120) can adaptively display the image using the first bit sequences and the second bit sequences based on a condition. For example, the condition can be implemented in various ways.

[0081] For example, the display (120) may display the image by causing each of the first light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences and causing each of the second light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the second bit sequences while the remaining capacity of the rechargeable battery of the wearable device (100) is less than a reference capacity. For example, the display (120) may display the image by causing each of the first light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences and causing each of the second light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the third bit sequences having the same bit depth as the bit depth of each of the first bit sequences while the remaining capacity is greater than or equal to the reference capacity. For example, the third bit sequences may be distinguished from the third bit sequences described in the description of the third portion (303) of the image (300) of FIG. 3A.

[0082] For example, the display (120) can display the image by causing each of the first light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences and causing each of the second light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the second bit sequences while the brightness level of a portion of an environment around the wearable device (100) provided with the image is lower than a reference brightness level. For example, the display (120) can display the image by causing each of the first light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences and causing each of the second light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the third bit sequences having a bit depth equal to the bit depth of each of the first bit sequences while the brightness level is equal to or higher than the reference brightness level. For example, the third bit sequences may be distinguished from the third bit sequences described in the description of the third portion (303) of the image (300) of FIG. 3A.

[0083] For example, the display (120) may display the image by causing each of the first light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences and each of the second light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the second bit sequences, based on user settings for displaying the image, settings of a software application for displaying the image, and / or a status related to execution of the software application, or by causing each of the first light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the first bit sequences and each of the second light-emitting elements to emit light according to the PWM technique using each of the third bit sequences having the same bit depth as the bit depth of each of the first bit sequences. For example, the third bit sequences may be distinguished from the third bit sequences described in the description of the third portion (303) of the image (300) of FIG. 3A.

[0084] The examples described above can be implemented within the electronic devices illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9.

[0085] FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an electronic device (801) within a network environment (800) according to various embodiments. Referring to FIG. 8, in the network environment (800), the electronic device (801) may communicate with the electronic device (802) via a first network (898) (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or may communicate with at least one of the electronic device (804) or the server (808) via a second network (899) (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). In one embodiment, the electronic device (801) may communicate with the electronic device (804) via the server (808). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (801) may include a processor (820), a memory (830), an input module (850), an audio output module (855), a display module (860), an audio module (870), a sensor module (876), an interface (877), a connection terminal (878), a haptic module (879), a camera module (880), a power management module (888), a battery (889), a communication module (890), a subscriber identification module (896), or an antenna module (897). In some embodiments, the electronic device (801) may omit at least one of these components (e.g., the connection terminal (878)), or may have one or more other components added. In some embodiments, some of these components (e.g., the sensor module (876), the camera module (880), or the antenna module (897)) may be integrated into one component (e.g., the display module (860)).

[0086] The processor (820) may, for example, execute software (e.g., a program (840)) to control at least one other component (e.g., a hardware or software component) of the electronic device (801) connected to the processor (820) and perform various data processing or operations. According to one embodiment, as at least a part of the data processing or operations, the processor (820) may store commands or data received from other components (e.g., a sensor module (876) or a communication module (890)) in a volatile memory (832), process the commands or data stored in the volatile memory (832), and store result data in a non-volatile memory (834). According to one embodiment, the processor (820) may include a main processor (821) (e.g., a central processing unit or an application processor) or an auxiliary processor (823) (e.g., a graphics processing unit, a neural processing unit (NPU), an image signal processor, a sensor hub processor, or a communication processor) that can operate independently or together with the main processor (821). For example, when the electronic device (801) includes the main processor (821) and the auxiliary processor (823), the auxiliary processor (823) may be configured to use less power than the main processor (821) or to be specialized for a given function. The auxiliary processor (823) may be implemented separately from the main processor (821) or as a part thereof.

[0087] The auxiliary processor (823) may control at least a portion of functions or states associated with at least one component (e.g., a display module (860), a sensor module (876), or a communication module (890)) of the electronic device (801), for example, on behalf of the main processor (821) while the main processor (821) is in an inactive (e.g., sleep) state, or together with the main processor (821) while the main processor (821) is in an active (e.g., application execution) state. In one embodiment, the auxiliary processor (823) (e.g., an image signal processor or a communication processor) may be implemented as a part of another functionally related component (e.g., a camera module (880) or a communication module (890)). In one embodiment, the auxiliary processor (823) (e.g., a neural network processing unit) may include a hardware structure specialized for processing artificial intelligence models. The artificial intelligence models may be generated through machine learning. This learning can be performed, for example, on the electronic device (801) itself where the artificial intelligence model is executed, or can be performed through a separate server (e.g., server (808)). The learning algorithm can include, for example, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, or reinforcement learning, but is not limited to the examples described above. The artificial intelligence model can include multiple artificial neural network layers.The artificial neural network may be one of a deep neural network (DNN), a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), a deep belief network (DBN), a bidirectional recurrent deep neural network (BRDNN), a deep Q-network, or a combination of two or more of the above, but is not limited to the examples described above. In addition to, or alternatively to, a hardware structure, an artificial intelligence model may include a software structure.

[0088] The memory (830) can store various data used by at least one component (e.g., the processor (820) or the sensor module (876)) of the electronic device (801). The data can include, for example, software (e.g., the program (840)) and input data or output data for commands related thereto. The memory (830) can include volatile memory (832) or non-volatile memory (834).

[0089] The program (840) may be stored as software in the memory (830) and may include, for example, an operating system (842), middleware (844), or an application (846).

[0090] The input module (850) can receive commands or data to be used in a component of the electronic device (801) (e.g., a processor (820)) from an external source (e.g., a user) of the electronic device (801). The input module (850) can include, for example, a microphone, a mouse, a keyboard, a key (e.g., a button), or a digital pen (e.g., a stylus pen).

[0091] The audio output module (855) can output audio signals to the outside of the electronic device (801). The audio output module (855) can include, for example, a speaker or a receiver. The speaker can be used for general purposes, such as multimedia playback or recording playback. The receiver can be used to receive incoming calls. In one embodiment, the receiver can be implemented separately from the speaker or as part of the speaker.

[0092] The display module (860) can visually provide information to an external party (e.g., a user) of the electronic device (801).
