Irregular Display Edge Color Blending for Visual Smoothing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Irregularly cut display screens in electronic devices, such as mobile phones, often have corners that affect the display, leading to sharp edges that can be visually unappealing and potentially distracting.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display control method that uses a system comprising a setting, acquiring, and controlling module to adjust the colors of specific areas on the display screen, transforming sharp corners into curved ones by setting the color of a second display area to a medium tone between the non-display area and the main display area colors, thereby altering the visual appearance of the screen edges.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display screen is cut into an irregular shape, then the device design flexibility is improved, but the display edge appearance deteriorates with sharp corners
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by displaying a first color in the non-display area and a second color in the display area, with the second color being different from the first color. This color differentiation creates a visual effect that masks sharp corners and makes the display edge appear curved, thus improving the display edge appearance while maintaining the irregular display shape for design flexibility.
2Ease of operation
If the corner area is displayed with the same color as the main display area, then the display consistency is improved, but the sharp corner effect is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the color display in different areas: the non-display area shows a first color, the display area shows a second color, and specifically the corner area (within a certain distance from the display edge) also displays the second color. This localized color assignment creates a visual transition that softens the sharp corner effect while maintaining overall display consistency.

AI summary
An electronic device with irregularly-shaped display also includes a storage device, and at least one processor. The display screen includes a corner and first, second, and third display areas. The first display area is the outermost display area and the third display area is the innermost. The first display area displays a first color, and the third display area displays a second color. The processor can set the color of the middle display area (the second display area) according to the first color and the second color.
