Abstract
A display control method of a stretchable display apparatus includes determining a degree of expansion of the display apparatus, and controlling a display mode of the display apparatus to be a first mode or a second mode based on the degree of expansion. A first resolution is embodied in the first mode by transmitting a data signal to each of pixel groups formed by classifying a plurality of pixels into the pixel groups. A second resolution is embodied in the second mode by transmitting a data signal to each of the plurality of pixels.

A display control method of a stretchable display apparatus, the display control method comprising:
- determining a degree of expansion of the display apparatus;
- and
- controlling a display mode of the display apparatus to be a first mode or a second mode based on the degree of expansion,
- wherein
- a first resolution is embodied in the first mode by transmitting a data signal to each of pixel groups formed by classifying a plurality of pixels into the pixel groups, wherein each of the pixel groups correspond to an image pixel in an image, the data signal is assigned to each of the pixel groups, and each of the pixel groups includes at least two adjacent pixels, and
- a second resolution is embodied in the second mode by transmitting a data signal to each of the plurality of pixels.
A display control apparatus of a stretchable display apparatus, the display control apparatus comprising:
- an expansion level determiner configured to determine a degree of expansion of the display apparatus;
- and
- a display mode controller configured to control a display mode of the display apparatus based on the degree of expansion,
- wherein the display mode comprises:
- a first mode in which a first resolution is embodied by transmitting a data signal to each of pixel groups formed by classifying a plurality of pixels into the pixel groups, wherein each of the pixel groups correspond to an image pixel in an image, the data signal is assigned to each of the pixel groups, and each of the pixel groups includes at least two adjacent pixels;
- and
- a second mode in which a second resolution is embodied by transmitting a data signal to each of the plurality of pixels.
A stretchable display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel stretchable in at least one direction;
- a sensing unit configured to measure a degree of expansion of the display panel;
- and
- a controller configured to control a display mode of the display apparatus depending on the degree of expansion,
- wherein the controller comprises:
- an expansion level determiner configured to determine the degree of expansion of the display panel;
- and
- a display mode controller configured to control a display mode of the display apparatus depending on the degree of expansion, and
- wherein the display mode comprises:
- a first mode in which a first resolution is embodied by transmitting a data signal to each of pixel groups formed by classifying a plurality of pixels into the pixel groups, wherein each of the pixel groups correspond to an image pixel in an image, the data signal is assigned to each of the pixel groups, and each of the pixel groups includes at least two adjacent pixels;
- and
- a second mode in which a second resolution is embodied by respectively transmitting a data signal to each of the plurality of pixels.
