Abstract
It is disclosed a method for displaying input image data on a display device. The display device comprises a main display and a border display which at least partly surrounds the main display. The method comprises extrapolating the input image data to obtain extrapolated image data, displaying at least part of the input image data on the main display, and displaying at least part of the extrapolated image data on the border display.
Claims18
A method for displaying input image data, the method comprising:
- receiving the input image data by circuitry of a display device, the input image data representing a visual image for display;
- extrapolating, by the circuitry, the input image data to obtain extrapolated image data based on mapping functions x′ and y′:
- x′=sx(|x−X1/2|)*(x−X1/2)+X2/2;
- and
- y′=sy(|y−Y1/2|)*(y−Y1/2)+Y2/2;
- controlling, by the circuitry, pixels of a main display of the display device to display a part of the input image data by emitting light corresponding to pixel values, included in the input image data, of the part of the input image data;
- and
- controlling, by the circuitry, a border display of the display device to display a part of the extrapolated image data, wherein
- the border display includes pixels that at least partially surround the pixels of the main display,
- x and y are pixel coordinates describing a location of a pixel on the main display,
- x′ and y′ are pixel coordinates describing a location of a pixel on the border display,
- X1 and Y1 denote dimensions of the main display in pixels,
- X2 and Y2 denote dimensions of the border display in pixels, and
- sx and sy are predefined scaling functions.

A display device, comprising:
- a main display including first pixels that emit light;
- a border display including second pixels that emit light, the second pixels at least partly surrounding the first pixels;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- receive input image data that represents a visual image for display,
- extrapolate the input image data to obtain extrapolated image data based on mapping functions x′ and y′:
- x′=sx(|x−X1/2|)*(x−X1/2)+X2/2;
- and
- y′=sy(|y−Y1/2|)*(y−Y1/2)+Y2/2,
- control the first pixels of the main display to display a part of the input image data by emitting light corresponding to pixel values, included in the input image data, of the part of the input image data, and
- control the second pixels of the border display to display a part of the extrapolated image data, wherein
- x and y are pixel coordinates describing a location of a pixel on the main display,
- x′ and y′ are pixel coordinates describing a location of a pixel on the border display,
