Display Shadow Effect for Wall Depth Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses struggle to create a consistent visual impression between a displayed screen image and a wall behind the device, especially when using opaque panels, as existing technologies fail to accurately adjust perspective or depth to match the wall's appearance.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a controller that adjusts the shadow effect on the image based on the distance between the display and the wall, using sensors to determine the optimal shadow intensity and area, creating a depth impression that matches the wall's depth, and allowing users to customize the virtual picture frame's color and shape.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a shadow effect is applied to the displayed image, then the depth impression and visual consistency with the wall is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting shadow effect parameters (intensity, area, position) based on the measured distance between the display apparatus and the wall. The controller dynamically modifies these parameters to create a depth impression that matches the physical spacing, thereby achieving visual consistency without requiring complex hardware modifications.
2Manufacturing precision
If the shadow effect area is increased to enhance depth perception, then the visual effect is improved, but the image quality and detail preservation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selectively applying the shadow effect only to specific regions of the displayed image, particularly at the edges or boundaries where the display apparatus meets the wall. This localized approach enhances the depth impression at critical areas while preserving the quality and detail of the central image content.

AI summary
An image processing method and a display apparatus therefor are provided. The display apparatus includes a display, a communicator that communicates with an external device; a memory storing one or more instructions; and a controller including a processor for executing the one or more instructions stored in the memory. The processor is configured to execute the one or more instructions to receive an image from the external device, obtain information about a first distance corresponding to a distance between a front surface of the display apparatus and a wall, and, when the image is displayed on the display, apply a shadow effect to one or more of sides of the image based on the information about the first distance.
