Region-Specific Brightness Control for Deformable Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for controlling brightness on flexible displays do not adequately accommodate user-specific usage scenarios, particularly when the display is folded or bent, leading to unsuitable brightness settings for certain orientations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a processor that allows users to set brightness for each region of a deformable continuous display surface, enabling customizable brightness settings based on the device's shape and usage configuration through a user interface.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If uniform brightness control is applied to the entire display surface, then the control method is simple, but the brightness does not suit user-specific usage scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The display surface is divided into multiple regions (first display region and second display region) with different brightness control characteristics. This segmentation allows each region to be independently controlled according to its specific usage scenario, resolving the contradiction between simple uniform control and scenario-adaptive control.
Solution Approach 2:
Different brightness control strategies are applied to different regions of the display surface. The first display region uses one brightness characteristic while the second display region uses another, enabling each local area to optimize for its specific usage context rather than applying a single global setting.
2Use of energy by moving object
If brightness is controlled based on degree of bending, then power consumption is reduced, but brightness uniformity does not match user expectations
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into regions with different brightness characteristics based on bending degree. This allows selective power management where different regions can have different brightness levels optimized for their specific functions, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
Different brightness control policies are applied locally to different display regions. The first display region may maintain higher brightness for critical information while the second region reduces brightness for less important content, optimizing power usage according to local functional requirements.
