Display apparatus, and display control method and apparatus of the display apparatus

A display control apparatus for controlling display of a display panel, the display control apparatus comprising:

• an image obtainer that obtains an image of a viewer;
• a sleepiness determiner that determines whether the viewer is sleepy based on obtained the image;
• a mode controller that controls a display mode of the display panel based on determining whether the viewer is sleepy;
• a location obtainer determiner that generates a path by using information about a departure location and a destination location, and
• divides the path into a first section, a second section, and a third section in the stated order from the departure location to the destination location;
• and
• an output signal generator that generates an output signal for displaying an image on the display panel based on the display mode,
• wherein the display panel comprises a first blue pixel emitting a first blue light and a second blue pixel emitting a second blue light having a different wavelength from the first blue light, and
• the display mode being classified based on which of the first and second blue pixels are emitting during the display mode, and wherein the display mode controller further controls the display mode by selecting the display mode when entering each of the first to third sections.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a computer, performs display control operations comprising:

• obtaining an image of a viewer;
• determining whether the viewer is sleepy based on the obtained image;
• controlling a display mode of a display panel based on the determination of whether the viewer is sleepy;
• and
• generating an output signal for displaying an image on the display panel based on the display mode,
• wherein the display panel comprises a first blue pixel emitting a first blue light and a second blue pixel emitting a second blue light having a different wavelength from the first blue light, and
• the display mode being classified based on which of the first and second blue pixels are emitting during the display mode, and further comprising instructions for performing operations comprising:
• generating a path using information about a departure location and a destination location;
• and
• dividing the path into a first section, a second section, and a third section in the stated order from the departure location to the destination location,
• wherein the controlling operations comprise controlling the display mode by selecting the display mode when entering each of the first to third sections.
