Adaptive Screen Corner Curvature for Cross-Device Display Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices, such as TVs, do not allow for adjustable curvature of screen corners, leading to a discontinuity in visual and aesthetic experiences when interacting with mobile devices.
Innovation Solution
A display device with adjustable corner curvature controlled by sensors, processors, and memory to adjust curvature based on illuminance, external device information, and object presence, enabling dynamic adjustment of screen corners.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If curvature is applied to corner of display in mobile devices to enhance visual immersion and aesthetics, then visual immersion and aesthetics are improved, but TV displays without curvature create discontinuity in visual and aesthetic experiences when mobile devices and TV interwork
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display curvature adjustable rather than fixed. The curvature value can be dynamically changed based on external device information, allowing the TV display to adapt its corner curvature to match mobile devices during interwork scenarios, thereby maintaining visual experience continuity without requiring permanent structural changes to the display hardware
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of display curvature based on detected external device information. When a mobile device is detected, the system adjusts the curvature parameter to match the mobile device's display characteristics, creating visual consistency across different display types while maintaining the TV's functional capabilities
2Adaptability or versatility
If curvature value of screen corner is adjusted based on external device information and illuminance to provide optimized viewing experiences, then adaptability and visual quality are improved, but device complexity and control difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by using a single curvature adjustment mechanism to address multiple scenarios: matching mobile device displays during interwork, adapting to different ambient illuminance levels, and providing optimized viewing experiences for various content types. This universal approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate control systems into one integrated solution
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from sensors detecting external device information and ambient illuminance to automatically adjust the display curvature. The sensor system provides real-time environmental data, which the control unit processes to dynamically modify the curvature parameter, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to changing conditions without manual intervention

AI summary
A display device may include a display configured to display an image content on a screen. The screen may include at least one corner area, and the at least one corner area may include a corner. The display device may further includes a sensor; a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and at least one processor. The one or more instructions, when executed the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the display device to obtain information regarding illuminance around the display device through the sensor; control the display to display the image content on the screen with the corner having a curvature based on at least one of: illuminance information indicating illuminance around the display, or external device information; and control the display to display the image content on the screen.
