Curved Display Area Dynamic Mode Switching for User Location
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices with curved areas face inefficiencies in utilizing the full display area, as users can only view a part of the curved area depending on their location, leading to varied and incomplete image data display.
Innovation Solution
A display device equipped with a sensor unit to detect user location and a processor to control a display unit, which divides the display area into a flat and two curved sections, dynamically adjusting the display mode based on user direction to maximize visible area by using curved sections as additional display areas.

1Area of stationary object
If a display device includes a curved display area, then the display area can be expanded to include curved sections, but users can only view a part of the curved area depending on their location, leading to inefficient use of the display area
Solution Approach 1:
The display device dynamically switches between different display modes (first display mode and second display mode) based on the detected user direction. When the user is in the first direction, the system uses the first display area as the main display area and the second display area as additional display area. When the user is in the second direction, it switches to using the third display area as main display area and the second display area as additional display area. This dynamic adaptation ensures that the curved display area is efficiently utilized regardless of user position.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters of the display by switching between different display modes. The processor detects the user direction and accordingly changes which display areas are activated and how they are configured. This parameter change allows the same physical display structure to serve different viewing configurations, maximizing the effective use of the curved display area.
2Reliability
If the display device displays image data regardless of user location, then the display function is maintained, but the display area varies depending on user location, leading to inconsistent viewing experience
Solution Approach 1:
The display device incorporates a sensor unit that detects the user's direction and provides feedback to the processor. Based on this feedback, the processor automatically adjusts the display mode to match the user's position. This feedback mechanism ensures that the display function remains reliable while simultaneously adapting the display area to the user's location, providing a consistent and optimized viewing experience regardless of where the user is positioned.
Solution Approach 2:
The second display area serves multiple functions by acting as an additional display area for both the first display area (when user is in first direction) and the third display area (when user is in second direction). This multi-functionality allows the display device to maintain reliable display operation while adapting to different user positions, as the same physical display structure can serve different viewing configurations.
