A display apparatus is disclosed that includes a display panel and a controller. The display panel includes a first edge extending in a first direction, a second edge extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a display area where an image is displayed. The controller is configured to obtain information to bend the display panel and, in response, to bend the display panel to a bent display panel. In the bent display panel, the first edge has a first display-panel curvature and the second edge has a second display-panel curvature.

Methods and systems for depth-based foveated rendering in the display system are disclosed. The display system may be an augmented reality display system configured to provide virtual content on a plurality of depth planes using different wavefront divergence. Some embodiments include determining a fixation point of a user's eyes. Location information associated with a first virtual object to be presented to the user via a display device is obtained. A resolution-modifying parameter of the first virtual object is obtained. A particular resolution at which to render the first virtual object is identified based on the location information and the resolution-modifying parameter of the first virtual object. The particular resolution is based on a resolution distribution specifying resolutions for corresponding distances from the fixation point. The first virtual object rendered at the identified resolution is presented to the user via the display system.

In one embodiment, a computing system may access an image to be displayed by a display. The system may determine one or more first characteristics associated with a content of the image. The one or more first characteristics may include a contrast level of the content of the image with respect to a background of the image. The system may determine a first display persistence time period for the display to display the image based on the one or more first characteristics associated with the content of the image. The system may configure the display to display the image using the first display persistence time period.

A virtual or augmented reality display system can include a first sensor to provide measurements of a user's head pose over time and a processor to estimate the user's head pose based on at least one head pose measurement and based on at least one calculated predicted head pose. The processor can combine the head pose measurement and the predicted head pose using one or more gain factors. The one or more gain factors may vary based upon the user's head pose position within a physiological range of movement.

An image display device (1) according to the present disclosure includes an image display unit (2) that has a pixel structure of subpixels having a plurality of colors, in which the subpixels having different colors are aligned in a first direction, and the subpixels having the same color are aligned in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and causes an observer ob to observe an image through a plurality of opening portions (24) disposed for each pixel block BL including a plurality of pixels including the subpixels having the plurality of colors. A width of each of the plurality of opening portions (24) in the first direction is substantially equal to a width of a subpixel of the subpixels in the first direction, and the plurality of opening portions (24) are disposed to be shifted in the first direction.

Foldable displays may have portions folded into a folded configuration. Each folded portion may be observed by a user at a different viewing angle. As such, folding-artifacts may appear in the displayed image as a result of the different viewing angles. For example, a perceptible color difference and/or a perceptible brightness difference may appear between folded portions. Disclosed here are systems and methods to create compensated images that when displayed reduced the folding artifacts. The creation may include sensing a viewing angle for each portion and determining adjustments for pixels in each portion using a display model. The display model may be created by measuring color and brightness of pixels for various folded configurations, view-points and/or viewing angles.

An information processing device (1) according to an embodiment includes a display control unit (34) and a decision unit (31). The display control unit (34) displays a content image on a head-mounted display. During display of the content image by the display control unit (34), the decision unit (31) decides whether or not a surrounding person exists in a front direction of the head-mounted display on the basis of a camera image obtained by capturing an image of a surrounding environment of the head-mounted display. In a case where the decision unit (31) decides that a surrounding person exists, the display control unit (34) moves a display position of the content image.

In one embodiment, a computing system may store, in a memory unit, a first array of pixel values to represent a scene as viewed along a first viewing direction. The first array of pixel values may correspond to a number of positions uniformly distributed in an angle space. The system may determine an angular displacement from the first viewing direction to a second viewing direction. The system may determine a second array of pixel values to represent the scene as viewed along the second viewing direction by: (1) shifting a portion of the first array of pixel values in the memory unit based on the angular displacement, or (2) reading a portion of the first array of pixel values from the memory unit using an address offset determined based on the angular displacement. The system may output the second array of pixel values to a display.

The present invention has a pixel which includes a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, a first resistor, a second resistor, a first liquid crystal element, and a second liquid crystal element. A pixel electrode of the first liquid crystal element is electrically connected to a signal line through the first switch. The pixel electrode of the first liquid crystal element is electrically connected to a pixel electrode of the second liquid crystal element through the second switch and the first resistor. The pixel electrode of the second liquid crystal element is electrically connected to a Cs line through the third switch and the second resistor. A common electrode of the first liquid crystal element is electrically connected to a common electrode of the second liquid crystal element.

A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a given user moves around or as the HMD slips or otherwise becomes displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes by determining whether features of the eye are at certain vertical positions relative to the HMD. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, and provides feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.
