Transparent Display Color Adaptation for Reflection Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transparent electronic displays face challenges in content recognition due to reflections from surrounding objects, making it difficult for users to distinguish displayed content.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that sense the color information of reflected objects, compare it with the displayed content, and adjust the color information to create a noticeable difference, either by changing the content's color to be more visible or less visible based on user settings and object reflections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If transparent display is used, then transparency and aesthetic appearance are improved, but content recognition is worsened due to reflections from surrounding objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by detecting the color of reflected objects and adjusting the color of displayed content accordingly. The controller modifies the color information of content based on the detected reflected object colors, ensuring the content stands out against the reflections while maintaining display transparency. This resolves the contradiction by allowing the display to remain transparent while improving content visibility through dynamic color adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes by dynamically adjusting color parameters (hue, saturation, brightness) of the displayed content based on environmental conditions. The system changes color parameters in real-time according to the detected reflected objects, enabling the transparent display to adapt to varying environmental conditions and maintain content recognizability throughout.
2Loss of information
If color information of content is changed to be different from reflected objects, then content visibility is improved, but color accuracy of content may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the color adjustment system adaptive and responsive rather than static. The controller continuously detects reflected objects and dynamically adjusts content colors in real-time based on current environmental conditions. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain both visibility and color accuracy by adapting to changing conditions rather than applying fixed color transformations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using the detected color information of reflected objects as input to adjust the displayed content colors. The system creates a closed-loop control where the output (displayed content) is continuously adjusted based on feedback from the environment (reflected objects). This feedback mechanism enables the system to balance visibility improvement with color accuracy preservation by making informed adjustments.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances user recognition of content on transparent displays by adjusting the color information to either complement or match the reflected objects, improving visibility and usability.
Implementation Method 1
sensing first color information of at least one object reflected on a transparent display of the device
Data Source
AI summary
A method of displaying content on a device includes sensing first color information of at least one object reflected on a transparent display of the device; comparing second color information of content displayed on the transparent display with the first color information; and changing the second color information based on a difference between the first color information and the second color information.
