Abstract
A method and an apparatus for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on an Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode (AMOLED) display of a device for reducing an image sticking effect are provided. The method includes displaying at least one item at an initial position on a screen of the display device, turning off the screen according to a predefined condition, receiving a display-on input command, and shifting the at least one item as much as a predefined distance from the initial position on the screen.
Claims21
A method for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for reducing an image sticking effect in a display device, the method comprising:
- displaying at least one item at an initial position on a screen of the display device;
- turning off the screen according to a predefined condition;
- receiving a display-on input command;
- and
- shifting the at least one item as much as a predefined distance from the initial position on the screen.
A display device comprising:
- a display unit for displaying at least one item at an initial position;
- a display on/off control unit for turning on/off a screen of the display device according to a predefined condition;
- an input unit for receiving a display-on input command;
- and
- an item shift unit for controlling, when the display-on command is input through the input unit in an off-state of the screen, the display unit to display the at least one item at a position as distant as a predefined distance from the initial position.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display unit having a plurality of self light emitting pixel elements and a predefined status display area to display a status item;
- and
- a control unit for changing a position of the status item displayed on the status display area by shifting the position of the status item by one or two pixels such that partially different sets of the self light emitting pixel elements are energized to display the status item.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display unit having a plurality of self light emitting pixel elements;
- and
- a control unit for displaying a status item at an initial location within a subregion of the display unit and for changing a position of the status item to a different location within the subregion such that the status item, in its entirety, continuously remains within a boundary of the subregion having a width that is less than twice a width of the status item and such that partially different sets of the self light emitting pixel elements are energized to display the status item.
