Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional display technologies fail to meet diverse user requirements for display images, as they cannot effectively differentiate visual angle information across directions, leading to inefficient use of pixels and suboptimal display resolutions.

Innovation Solution

The method involves changing the ratio of pixels distributed along two orthogonal directions in each effective display region of a display unit, allowing light emitted by each pixel to be transmitted to a specific visual angle range, thereby adjusting the proportion of parallax information displayed in different directions, and using a display system with adjustable pixel distribution and lens configurations to enhance visual angle information display.

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional display technology is used, then the display structure is simple, but it cannot meet diversified application requirements and cannot differentiate visual angle information across directions

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic pixel ratio adjustment where the display unit can change the ratio of pixels distributed along different directions based on application requirements. This allows the same hardware structure to adapt to different display scenarios (e.g., adjusting pixel density in horizontal vs vertical directions) without changing the physical display structure, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of pixel distribution ratio along different directions to achieve diversified display effects. By adjusting the pixel ratio parameter dynamically, the system can meet different application requirements (such as different visual angle ranges or parallax information needs) while maintaining the same physical display hardware, thus improving adaptability without increasing structural complexity.

2Productivity

If pixels are uniformly distributed, then the display structure is simple and manufacturing is easy, but the visual angle information cannot be differentiated across directions leading to inefficient pixel usage

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different pixel densities in different directions within the same display unit. Instead of uniform pixel distribution, the system can concentrate pixels in specific directions (e.g., higher density in horizontal direction for wider horizontal visual angle) based on local display requirements, thereby improving pixel usage efficiency while maintaining manageable structural complexity through controlled directional variation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of pixel distribution ratios where the system can change pixel density characteristics based on real-time application needs. This dynamic pixel ratio adjustment allows efficient pixel utilization for different visual angle requirements without requiring complex fixed structural modifications, resolving the contradiction between productivity and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

3Adaptability or versatility

If the same pixel ratio is used in all directions, then the display system is simple to control, but the angle resolution cannot be differentiated to meet diverse application needs

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the pixel ratio parameter along different directions to achieve differentiated angle resolutions. The control system can modify pixel distribution parameters (such as pixel density ratios in horizontal vs vertical directions) based on application requirements, enabling the display to adapt to different viewing scenarios while maintaining relatively simple control mechanisms through parameter-based adjustment rather than complex structural reconfiguration.

AI summary

Various display control methods and apparatuses are provided. A method comprises changing a ratio of pixels distributed along two directions in each effective display region of at least one display unit of a display system, wherein light emitted by each pixel in the effective display region of each display unit in the at least one display unit is transmitted to a visual angle range by a lens corresponding to the display unit in the display system, and the two directions comprise a first direction and a second direction parallel with the display unit and orthogonal with each other; and displaying a content to be displayed by the changed display system. Differentiated display of visual angle information of two mutual orthogonal different directions can be thereby realized.
