Abstract
A curved display and a method for processing an image thereof are discussed. The curved display according to an embodiment includes a display panel selectively including a flat surface and a curved surface, and a controller including a signal processor for receiving image signal information from an external system, converting the image signal information into an image signal appropriate for the display panel, and distributing the image signal to the display panel, and a curved image generator for receiving the image signal and generating a curved image signal varied to correspond to a viewer's horopter surface corresponding to a curved surface when the display panel is a curved surface.
Claims10
A curved display comprising:
- a display panel selectively comprising a flat surface and a curved surface;
- and
- a controller comprising a signal processor for receiving image signal information from an external system, converting the image signal information into an image signal appropriate for the display panel, and distributing the image signal to the display panel, and a curved image generator for receiving the image signal and generating a curved image signal varied to correspond to a viewer's horopter surface corresponding to a curved surface when the display panel is a curved surface.
A display comprising:
- a display panel comprising a display surface;
- and
- a controller comprising a signal processor for receiving image signal information from an external system, converting the image signal information into an image signal appropriate for the display panel, and distributing the image signal to the display panel, and a curved image generator for generating a curved image signal varied to correspond to a viewer's horopter surface.
A method for processing an image of a display panel comprising a display panel having a variable display surface of a flat surface or a curved surface, the method comprising:
- receiving image signal information from an external system;
- converting the image signal information into an image signal appropriate for the display panel;
- determining whether a display surface is a flat surface or a curved surface according to curvature of the display panel;
- generating a curved image signal corresponding to a horopter surface of a viewer who views a display surface using the converted image signal when the display surface is a curved surface;
- storing the curved image signal in units of frames;
- and
- distributing the image signal corresponding to the display panel to the display panel when the display surface of the display panel is a flat surface according to determination of a curvature determination unit, and distributing a variable image signal to the display panel in units of frames when the display surface is a curved image.
