An apparatus including a fault tolerant display unit for an electronic device, comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- a controller unit operatively coupled to the display unit, the controller unit configured to control the display unit to display an information;
- wherein when a failure mode of the display unit occurs, the display unit is configured to display a modified information, where the modified information is different from the information for display under the control of the controller unit.
A method of providing display fault tolerance in an electronic device, comprising the steps of:
- receiving one or more commands to display an information on a display unit;
- detecting a failure mode associated with the display unit;
- and
- displaying a modified information on the display unit associated with the detected failure mode.
A display unit of an electronic device, comprising:
- a display portion;
- and
