Abstract
An electronic device including a non-flat display surface and an image display method thereof are provided. The method is adapted for the electronic device having the non-flat display surface, and a display device of the electronic device is disposed under a non-flat cover. A plurality of edge display pixels in an edge display region of the display device is grouped into at least one pixel group according to a tilt state of an edge of the non-flat cover. Image data is adjusted according to a quantity of the at least one pixel group, to drive a display panel to display according to the adjusted image data. The edge display pixels in the pixel group are configured to display a same image pixel.
Claims14
An image display method, adapted for an electronic device comprising a non-flat display surface, wherein a display device of the electronic device is disposed under a non-flat cover, and the method comprises:
- grouping a plurality of edge display pixels in an edge display region of the display device into at least one pixel group according to a tilt state of an edge of the non-flat cover, wherein a display panel of the display device comprises the edge display pixels driven by an image processing circuit;
- and
- adjusting image data according to a quantity of the at least one pixel group to drive the display panel to display according to the adjusted image data, wherein
- the edge display pixels in one of the at least one pixel group are configured to display a same image pixel of the adjusted image data,
- wherein the tilt state of the edge of the non-flat cover comprises a surface tilt angle respectively corresponding to each of the edge display pixels, and the edge display pixels comprise a first edge display pixel and a second edge display pixel, wherein
- when the surface tilt angle corresponding to the first edge display pixel satisfies a grouping condition, the first edge display pixel and the second edge display pixel adjacent to the first edge display pixel are grouped into the at least one pixel group, and
- when the surface tilt angle corresponding to the first edge display pixel does not satisfy the grouping condition, the first edge display pixel is not grouped with another edge display pixel.

An electronic device having a non-flat display surface, comprising:
- a non-flat cover;
- a display device, disposed under the non-flat cover and comprising
- a display panel;
- and
- an image processing circuit, coupled to the display panel, and
- configured to group a plurality of edge display pixels in an edge display region of the display device into at least one pixel group according to a tilt state of an edge of the non-flat cover, wherein the display panel comprises the edge display pixels driven by the image processing circuit, and adjust image data according to a quantity of the at least one pixel group to drive the display panel to display according to the adjusted image data, wherein
- the edge display pixels in one of the at least one pixel group are configured to display a same image pixel of the adjusted image data,
- wherein the tilt state of the edge of the non-flat cover comprises a surface tilt angle respectively corresponding to each of the edge display pixels, and the edge display pixels comprise a first edge display pixel and a second edge display pixel, wherein
- when the surface tilt angle corresponding to the first edge display pixel satisfies a grouping condition, the first edge display pixel and the second edge display pixel adjacent to the first edge display pixel are grouped into the at least one pixel group, and
- when the surface tilt angle corresponding to the first edge display pixel does not satisfy the grouping condition, the first edge display pixel is not grouped with another edge display pixel.
