Electronic device and method of burn-in prevention for electronic device

A method of burn-in prevention for an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises a display panel and a host, and the host comprises a processing unit and a graphics processing unit, the method comprising:

• utilizing the processing unit to execute a driver program of the graphics processing unit and a specific program to render a display image of the specific program, wherein the display image comprises a user interface;
• utilizing the processing unit to obtain position information about a static area of the user interface;
• and
• in response to the processing unit obtaining the position information about the static area of the user interface, utilizing the graphics processing unit to perform a burn-in-prevention process on the static area via the driver program to generate an output image, and transmitting the output image to the display panel for displaying.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display apparatus, comprising a display controller and a display panel;
• and
• a host, electrically connected to the display panel, wherein the host comprises a processing unit and a graphics processing unit;
• wherein the processing unit executes a driver program of the graphics processing unit and a specific program to render a display image of the specific program, and the display image comprises a user interface,
• wherein the processing unit obtains position information about a static area of the user interface, and transmits the display image and the position information about the static area to the display controller,
• wherein the display controller generates an on-screen-display (OSD) mask of a burn-in-prevention area corresponding to the static area according to the position information about the static area, superimposes the OSD mask on the static area of the display image to generate an output image, and transmits the output image to the display panel for displaying.
