Abstract
There are provided a transparent display apparatus and a method for controlling the same. The transparent display apparatus includes a transparent display unit that includes an emissive area and a transmissive area and is configured to display a video, an optical sensor configured to measure the amount of light, and a light shielding unit that is disposed on one surface of the transparent display unit and is configured to adjust transmittance on the basis of the amount of light.
Claims17
A transparent display apparatus, comprising:
- a transparent display unit having light emitting pixel elements and transmitting at least a portion of first light incident on the transparent display apparatus;
- and
- at least one sensor to generate at least one signal indicative of brightness of second light incident on the transparent display apparatus,
- wherein the portion of the first light transmitted through the transparent display unit is adjustable based on the signal indicative of the brightness of the second light.
A method of operation in a transparent display apparatus that includes a transparent display unit having light emitting pixel elements and transmitting at least a portion of external light incident on the transparent display apparatus, the method comprising:
- generating at least one signal indicative of brightness of the external light incident on the transparent display apparatus;
- and
- adjusting the portion of the external light transmitted through the transparent display unit based on the signal indicative of the brightness of the external light.
A computer readable medium storing instructions for operation of a transparent display apparatus that includes a transparent display unit having light emitting pixel elements and transmitting at least a portion of external light incident on the transparent display apparatus, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- generating at least one signal indicative of brightness of the external light incident on the transparent display apparatus;
- and
- adjusting the portion of the external light transmitted through the transparent display unit based on the signal indicative of the brightness of the external light.
