In addition, various methods for identifying the angle at which the electronic device (101) is rotated may be applied to various embodiments of the present document. The function or operation of identifying the rotated angle of the electronic device (101) based on the angle formed by the virtual center line penetrating the user's eye and the light field display is described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D and 8E below.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) can change the display properties of an object (400) being displayed in three dimensions and display them based on the fact that the light field display of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the display module (460) of FIG. 1) is switched from a first state to a second state rotated to be included within a first specified angular range in operation 320. FIG. 4 is an exemplary drawing for explaining a case in which the display state of an object (400) being displayed in three dimensions changes according to the rotation of the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document. Referring to FIG. 4, when the light field display is in a non-rotated state (e.g., (a) of FIG. 4), the entire part of the object (400) can be provided to the user in three dimensions. However, when the light field display is in a rotated state (e.g., (a) and (b) of FIG. 4), the peripheral part and / or the entire part of the object (400) may be displayed abnormally (e.g., the object (400) may be displayed blurry or may not provide a 3D effect) and may be provided to the user. In order to solve this problem, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may identify that the rotated angle of the electronic device (101) is included in and / or enters a first specified angular range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees). The electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may display the object (400) being displayed in 3D by reducing the size thereof to correspond to the rotated angle of the electronic device, based on identifying that the rotated angle of the electronic device (101) is included in and / or enters the first specified angular range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees). Accordingly, a 3D display environment may be continuously provided to the user. To this end, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may further perform a function or operation of identifying the size of the object (400) being displayed.When the size of the object (400) is smaller than a specified threshold size, a three-dimensional display environment can be continuously provided to the user (e.g., the entire object (400) is provided in three dimensions without any abnormally displayed portions) despite the rotation of the electronic device (101). Accordingly, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document can determine whether the object (101) exceeds the threshold size by using a look-up table in which the rotation angle of the electronic device (101) and the threshold size of the object (400) are defined in relation to each other. The threshold size according to one embodiment of the present document may mean a threshold size at which the entire part of the object (400) can be provided in three dimensions despite the rotation of the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment of the present document, the threshold size may be gradually reduced as the rotation angle increases. Alternatively, according to one embodiment of the present document, the threshold size may be maintained at the threshold size in the first non-rotated state (e.g., the initial threshold size) despite the rotation angle increases.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) may, as illustrated in FIG. 5B and the like, display the object (400) by rotating it in a specified direction based on the rotational direction of the light field display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) so that the object is displayed in a state (e.g., the rotation angle of the object (400)) that is substantially the same as that in a first non-rotated state, despite the rotation of the light field display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1)). In this case, the electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may identify the rotational direction and / or speed of the light field display using at least one sensor (e.g., an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, an IMU sensor, etc.), and display the object (400) by rotating it based on the identified rotational direction and / or speed. For example, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may rotate and display the object (400) by referring to a look-up table in which the relationship between the rotation direction and / or rotation speed of the light field display and the rotation direction and / or rotation speed of the object (400) is defined, but is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may calculate the rotation direction and / or rotation speed of the object (400) in real time by using a specified formula, and rotate and display the object (400) based on the calculation result.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present document, when the electronic device (101) is in a rotated state (e.g., when the rotated angle of the electronic device (101) is within a first specified angle range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees)) and the size of the object (400) exceeds a limit size, the electronic device (101) displays the object (400) provided in three dimensions by reducing the size of the object (400) according to a specified ratio, so that the object (400) can be displayed within an area of ​​a light field display that can be viewed in three dimensions to the user despite the rotation of the electronic device (101), thereby continuously providing an immersive three-dimensional display environment to the user. To this end, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document can gradually / continuously reduce the size of the object (400) to correspond to the rotated angle of the electronic device (101) by using a look-up table in which a relationship between the size of the object (400) and the specified ratio is defined. Conversely, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may display the object (400) by enlarging its size according to a specified ratio when it is determined that the rotation angle of the electronic device (101) has decreased.

[0050] An electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may control a light field display (e.g., a display module (160) of FIG. 1) so that at least a portion of an object (400) being displayed in three dimensions (e.g., at least a portion of the object (400) exceeding a limit size / area) is displayed in two dimensions based on identifying that a rotated angle of the electronic device (101) is included in and / or entered a first designated angle range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees). For example, an electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may control a light field display (e.g., a display module (160) of FIG. 1) so that at least a portion of an object (400) being displayed in three dimensions (e.g., at least a portion of the object (400) exceeding a limit size / area) is displayed in two dimensions by controlling some of a plurality of projectors. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may control a light field display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) to display at least a portion of an object (400) being displayed in three dimensions (e.g., at least a portion of the object (400) exceeding a limit size / area) in two dimensions by controlling the refractive index of the micro lens array and / or controlling the pixel disparity. In this case, the overall size of the object (400) displayed in a combination of three dimensions and two dimensions may be substantially the same as the size in the first non-rotated state. In other words, the overall size of the object (400) may be maintained. In addition, various techniques for providing at least a portion of the object (400) on a two-dimensional plane may be applied to various embodiments of the present document.

[0051] An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may provide an object (400) by changing a three-dimensional stereoscopic effect (e.g., changing a stereoscopic effect) based on identifying that a rotated angle of the electronic device (101) is included in and / or enters a first designated angle range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees). For example, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may change the stereoscopic effect for the object (400) (e.g., reducing the stereoscopic effect by changing depth information of the object (400)) by controlling a refractive index of a microlens array and / or controlling pixel disparity. The electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may also change the stereoscopic effect for the object (400) (e.g., reducing the stereoscopic effect by changing depth information of the object (400)) by processing an image output in three dimensions using a designated image processing method.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) may, in operation 330, change an object (400) whose display properties have been changed into a two-dimensional image and display it based on the transition from a second state to a third state in which the light field display of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) is rotated to be included within a second specified angular range, and the object (400) whose display properties have been changed may be displayed as a two-dimensional image. According to one embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) may, as illustrated in FIG. 5C, display the object (400) and / or the specified image as a two-dimensional image on the light field display based on identifying that the rotated angle of the electronic device (101) is included in and / or enters the second specified range (e.g., 20 degrees or more to less than 70 degrees). According to an embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) may adjust the size of the object (400) (e.g., reduce it according to a specified ratio) so that the entire part of the object (400) can be displayed on the light field display when the size of the object (400) exceeds the light field display area. Accordingly, an image in a two-dimensional environment can be provided to the user. According to an embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) may control the light field display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) so that the object (400) being displayed three-dimensionally is displayed two-dimensionally by controlling some of the projectors among the plurality of projectors. Alternatively, the electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may control the light field display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) so that the object (400) being displayed three-dimensionally is displayed two-dimensionally by controlling the refractive index of the micro lens array and / or controlling the pixel disparity.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) may, in operation 340, re-display an object (400) displayed as a two-dimensional image in three dimensions based on the light field display of the electronic device (101) switching from the third state to the second non-rotated state. Prior to operation 340, the electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may identify that the light field display of the electronic device (101) is included in and / or entered a third designated range (e.g., more than 70 degrees to less than 86 degrees) corresponding to the first designated angular range. In this case, the electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may change the display method of the object (400) displayed in a two-dimensional manner and display it as if it were included in the first designated angular range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees) as described above. For example, an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may control a light field display so that at least a portion of an object (400) is displayed in two dimensions, as illustrated in FIG. 5d, and / or control a light field display so that an object (400) is displayed with a changed stereoscopic ratio.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) can control the light field display so that a designated object (e.g., object (400)) can be shown to the user in three dimensions, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, based on the transition from the third state to the second non-rotated state. According to one embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) can be in the second non-rotated state. The second non-rotated state according to one embodiment of the present document can include a state in which the light field display is arranged in a portrait orientation (e.g., vertical orientation) and / or a state set to provide a designated screen based on a portrait mode. According to one embodiment of the present document, in the second non-rotated state, all parts of the object (400) can be provided to the user in a three-dimensional shape. Accordingly, the side, top, and / or bottom of the object (400) can be shown to the user. A second non-rotated state according to one embodiment of the present document may include a state in which the light field display is not completely rotated (e.g., a state in which the rotation angle is 90 degrees with respect to the landscape direction) and / or a state in which there is no problem in providing the shape of the object (400) to the user in three dimensions even if it is rotated at a specified angle (e.g., a state in which the rotation angle is greater than 86 degrees but less than or equal to 90 degrees with respect to the landscape direction). The electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may display the object (400) in three dimensions (e.g., display it so that it appears three-dimensional to the user) as illustrated in FIG. 5E, based on the electronic device (101) being in the second state. According to one embodiment of the present document, information about the rotation angle of the electronic device (101) may also be input by the user through a specified user interface.

[0055] FIG. 6 is an exemplary drawing for explaining a function or operation of controlling the rotation speed of an electronic device (101) based on the rotation angle of the electronic device (101) entering a specified angle range according to the rotation of the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document. FIG. 7 is an exemplary drawing for explaining the functions or operations illustrated in FIG. 6 according to one embodiment of the present document from a user interface perspective.

[0056] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, an electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may, in operation 610, control a drive motor so that the light field display of the electronic device (101) rotates at a first specified speed while the light field display of the electronic device (101) is in a first non-rotating state. An electronic device (101) according to an embodiment of the present document may also, in operation 610, control a hinge module so that the light field display of the electronic device (101) rotates at a first specified speed while the light field display of the electronic device (101) is in a first non-rotating state. A first non-rotated state according to one embodiment of the present document may include a state in which the light field display is not completely rotated as described above (e.g., a state in which the rotation angle is 0 degrees with respect to the landscape direction) and / or a state in which there is no problem in providing the shape of the object (400) to the user in three dimensions even when the electronic device (101) is rotated at a specified angle (e.g., a state in which the rotation angle exceeds 0 degrees but is less than or equal to 4 degrees with respect to the landscape direction).

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present document, the electronic device (101) may control the drive motor to rotate the light field display at a second specified speed that is faster than the first specified speed, based on the fact that the light field display of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) is switched from a first state to a second state in which the light field display enters a first specified angular range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees), in operation 620. The electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may rotate the electronic device (101) to correspond to a change in the rotation angle of the electronic device (101). Alternatively, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may rotate the electronic device (101) while maintaining the second specified speed while the electronic device (101) is in the second state. According to one embodiment of the present document, while the electronic device (101) rotates at a specified speed or a continuously changing speed, the electronic device (101) may change and display the object (400) such that it falls within a first specified angular range (e.g., more than 5 degrees to less than 20 degrees).

According to one embodiment of the present document, while the electronic device (101) rotates at a specified speed or a continuously changing speed, the electronic device (101) may change and display the object (400) as if it is included in a second specified angular range (e.g., more than 20 degrees to less than 70 degrees). For example, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may control a light field display so that the object (400) is displayed in two dimensions, or control a light field display so that a specified image is displayed in two dimensions.

[0060] Although not illustrated in FIG. 6, referring to FIG. 7, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may control the drive motor so that the light field display rotates at a second specified speed based on the transition from a third state to a fourth state in which the light field display of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) is included in and / or entered a third specified angular range (e.g., more than 70 degrees to less than 86 degrees). The electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may rotate the electronic device (101) to correspond to a change in the rotation angle of the electronic device (101). Alternatively, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may rotate the electronic device (101) while maintaining the second specified speed while the electronic device (101) is in the second state. According to one embodiment of the present document, while the electronic device (101) rotates at a specified speed or a continuously changing speed, the electronic device (101) may change and display the object (400) such that it falls within a third specified angular range (e.g., more than 70 degrees to less than 86 degrees). For example, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment of the present document may control the light field display so that at least a portion of the object (400) is displayed in two dimensions, and / or control the light field display so that the object (400) is displayed with a changed stereoscopic ratio.

According to various embodiments of the present document, when the rotation angle of the electronic device (101) changes rapidly, a problem may occur in three-dimensional expression, and therefore, a smooth image transition effect may be provided to the user by controlling the rotation speed for each state of the electronic device (101).
