Display Panel Variable Pixel Openings to Reduce VR Screen Door Effect

The patent applies local quality by making the pixel light-transmitting regions have different lengths in the second direction, creating non-uniform local characteristics. Specifically, the third pixel light-transmitting region has a shorter length compared to the first and second regions, which helps to locally adjust light distribution and reduce the visibility of shielding structures, thereby mitigating the screen door effect while maintaining effective light blocking where needed.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the pixel light-transmitting regions into different types (first, second, and third regions) with different characteristics. The third pixel light-transmitting regions are segmented to have shorter lengths in the second direction, creating a patterned distribution that reduces screen door effect. This segmentation approach allows for resolution improvement through strategic placement of light-transmitting regions rather than uniformly increasing pixel density across the entire display, thereby managing manufacturing complexity.

The patent applies local quality by creating non-uniform pixel light-transmitting region lengths to compensate for the blocking effect of shielding structures. The third pixel light-transmitting regions with shorter lengths are strategically positioned to balance the light distribution, ensuring that areas with blocking structures receive appropriate light transmission to maintain overall brightness uniformity while preserving light control functionality.
