Electronic device and method for predicting and compensating for residual image on display

A method for an electronic device to compensate for burn-in or residual image, the method comprising:

• generating an image to be displayed through a display;
• dividing the image into a first image corresponding to a plurality of first pixels of the display and a second image corresponding to a plurality of second pixels of the display;
• generating a first burn-in map based on the first image;
• generating a second burn-in map based on the second image;
• storing the first burn-in map and the second burn-in map in memory;
• and
• controlling the display to display an image generated based on the first burn-in map and the second burn-in map to compensate for difference between burn-in of the plurality of first pixels and burn-in of the plurality of second pixels,
• wherein the plurality of first pixels are configured to display the first image at a first viewing angle, and
• wherein the plurality of second pixels are configured to display the second image at a second viewing angle.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display comprising a plurality of first pixels configured to display an image at a first viewing angle, and a plurality of second pixels configured to display an image at a second viewing angle smaller than the first viewing angle;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• generate an image to be displayed through the display,
• generate a first burn-in map based on first data of the image corresponding to the plurality of first pixels,
• generate a second burn-in map based on second data of the image corresponding to the plurality of second pixels,
• store the first burn-in map in a first memory region of the memory,
• store the second burn-in map in a second memory region of the memory,
• and
• control the display to display an image compensated for burn-in or residual image based on the first burn-in map and the second burn-in map.

A method for an electronic device including a display comprising a plurality of first pixels configured to display an image at a first viewing angle and a plurality of second pixels configured to display an image at a second viewing angle smaller than the first viewing angle, the method comprising:

• generating an image to be displayed through a display;
• generating a first burn-in map based on first data of the image corresponding to the plurality of first pixels;
• generating a second burn-in map based on second data of the image corresponding to the plurality of second pixels;
• storing the first burn-in map in a first memory region of a memory;
• storing the second burn-in map in a second memory region of the memory;
• and
• displaying, through the display, an image compensated for burn-in or residual image based on the first burn-in map and the second burn-in map.
