Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus are described for displaying visual information on a deformable display device, and for compensating for distortion of images of the visual information that results from the deformation of the display device and the viewing orientation of a viewer of the display device, or for improving or enhancing the displayed visual information in response to the deformation of the display device and the viewing position of the viewer.
Claims22
A system comprising:
- a deformable display device to produce displayed visual information on the display device as a function of one or more image control signals;
- and
- a display control unit receiving image display data and producing the one or more image control signals as a function of deformation data, viewer position data and the image display data, wherein the deformation data is a function of a deformation in the deformable display device and the viewer position data is a function of a perspective of a viewer with respect to the deformable display device.
A system comprising:
- a deformable display device to produce displayed visual information on the deformable display device as a function of one or more image control signals;
- one or more deformation detection devices to produce a deformation detection signal indicative of deformation of the deformable display device;
- a viewer position detector to produce viewer position information indicative of a viewing perspective of a viewer with respect to the deformable display device;
- and
- at least one processing system responsive to the deformation detection signals and the viewer position information to produce data used to adjust the one or more image control signals.
A method comprising:
- detecting one or more deformations of a deformable display device, and representing the one or more deformations, at least in part, in deformation data;
- detecting at least one position, with respect to the deformable display device, of a viewer of the deformable display device, and representing the viewer position, at least in part, in viewer position data;
- and adjusting one or more image control signals to be applied to the deformable display device to produce visual information, the one or more image control signals being adjusted as a function of the deformation data and the viewer position data.
A computer program product comprising computer program instructions recorded in non-transitory form on a machine-readable media, the instructions adapted to execute on a computer to:
- receive one or more signals or data indicative of the deformation of a deformable display device, and produce deformation data representing the deformation of the display device;
- receive data indicating the position of a viewer of the deformable display device with respect to the deformable display device, and encode the viewer position, at least in part, in viewer position data;
- and
- generate adjustments to one or more image control signals to be applied to the deformable display device as a function of the deformation data and the viewer position data.
