For example, a touch-screen displayer based on a thin-film sensor may cause to display yellowish due to the aging of the material, and therefore it may cause chromatic aberration.
As for an interference reflective display screen, since it is an interference modulation based reflective technique, the interference reflective display screen uses the ambient light as light sources and does not need backlight. The interference reflective display screen may be adjusted in accordance with the surrounding light conditions automatically, and a user may view it under almost all the environments. The interference reflective display screen adopts a set of microscopic display structures, which is referred as a pixel unit. Currently, since the positions of pixels are set unreasonably in a display screen, the display effect of a display screen is affected.
In order to solve the above technical problems, it is provided a display adjusting method, system and electronic device in an embodiment of the disclosure, for improving the display effect of a display screen. The technical solutions are as follows.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure will be described clearly and completely hereinafter in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part but not all of the embodiments of the disclosure. All the other embodiments can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort on the basis of the embodiments of the disclosure, which fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.
A display adjusting method according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: judging whether chromatic aberration is generated in a touch sensing unit to obtain a first judgment result; judging whether the chromatic aberration meets a preset condition to obtain a second judgment result in the case where the first judgment result indicates that chromatic aberration is generated in the touch sensing unit; and adjusting display parameters of the display unit based on the chromatic aberration to correct the chromatic aberration in the case where the second judgment result indicates that the chromatic aberration meets the preset condition. In the case where chromatic aberration is generated in the touch sensing unit, the display parameters of the display unit are used to correct the chromatic aberration such that the display unit outputs a correct color, thus solving the problem that yellow screen caused by the aging of thin-film materials.
Referring to
The first judging module 101 is adapted to judge whether the touch sensing unit generates chromatic aberration to obtain a first judgment result. During the output of the touch sensing unit, the first judging module 101 may judge whether there is chromatic aberration in the output color of the touch sensing unit. Specifically, since each color has its standard color value, the first judging module 101 may compare the actual color value of each color output from the touch sensing unit with its standard color value respectively. It is indicated that chromatic aberration is generated if the comparison result is not consistent. Generally, yellowish chromatic aberration may be generated in display white color, i.e., white color which should be output is seemed yellowish. Accordingly, take that white generates a yellow color cast as an example in an embodiment of the disclosure. The first judging module 101 compares the actual color value of white to be output with its standard color value to obtain the first judgment result. If the comparison result is not consistent (generally, if there is chromatic aberration, it may be that the actual color value is greater than the standard color value), it is judged that chromatic aberration is generated on white color; and if the comparison result is consistent, it is judged that there is no chromatic aberration.
The second judging module 102 is adapted to judge whether the chromatic aberration meets a preset condition to obtain a second judgment result in the case where the first judgment result indicates that the chromatic aberration is generated on the touch sensing unit. In the case where the first judging module 101 determines that chromatic aberration is generated on the touch sensing unit, it is judged that whether the chromatic meets the preset condition. The preset condition may be that the chromatic aberration value of the chromatic aberration is greater than a preset chromatic aberration threshold. In an embodiment of the disclosure, take that yellowish chromatic aberration is generated in display white color as an example. For example, the preset chromatic aberration threshold is A, and the chromatic aberration value of white is B, if B>A, it is determined that the chromatic aberration meets the preset chromatic aberration threshold. There may be only one preset chromatic aberration threshold, i.e., it is judged by one preset chromatic aberration threshold that whether each color meets the preset condition. Alternatively, a preset chromatic aberration threshold may be set for each color respectively, and it is judged by the preset chromatic aberration threshold corresponding to a different color respectively that whether the different color meets the preset condition.
The adjusting module 103 is adapted to adjust display parameters of the display unit based on the chromatic aberration to correct the chromatic aberration in the case where the second judgment result indicates that the chromatic aberration meets the preset condition. If the second judging module 102 determines that the chromatic aberration meets the preset condition, the adjusting module 103 adjusts the display parameters of the display unit, i.e., the adjusting module 103 adjusts the output color of the display unit by adjusting the display parameters of the display unit. A manner to adjust the display parameters of the display unit is to adjust the color value of a color output from the display unit. The display parameters at least include a color parameter, brightness, contrast and saturation. For example, if it is determined that yellowish chromatic aberration is generated in display white color, and a chromatic aberration value thereof is determined, the color value of white color output from the display unit may be adjusted to form a complementary color with white output from the touch sensing unit so as to correct the chromatic aberration, or the color value may be adjusted into a preset color value such that a color to be output is a color as anticipated by a user.
For example, an adjusting manner may be to formulate a time-based changing curve of a chromatic aberration value previously in accordance with the analysis of historical data. Specifically, a time-based changing curve of chromatic aberration value of each color may be formulated, and for convenience, only a time-based changing curve of a chromatic aberration value of white may be formulated. The formulated changing curve may be saved in the system, and the adjusting module 103 may determine the current chromatic aberration value in accordance with the formulated changing curve at each moment and thus adjust the display parameters of the display unit, i.e., the adjusting module 103 may adjust the display parameters of the display unit automatically in accordance with the formulated changing curve at each moment. Alternatively, it may also be that a user notifies the electronic device in the case where the user needs to adjust a output color, and the adjusting module 103 adjusts the display parameters of the display unit in accordance with the formulated changing curve on receipt of the notification. For example, the output color of the display unit may be formed as a complementary color with the output color of the touch sensing unit through an adjustment such that the color to be output finally is correct, thus correcting the chromatic aberration. Alternatively, the color output may also be a color as anticipated by a user through an adjustment. Since the changing curve is formulated previously, this adjusting manner may adjust chromatic aberration automatically at each moment, and thus it is simple and convenient.
For example, another adjusting manner may be to place an electronic device in a satisfied white light environment to acquire the current chromatic aberration value in the case where the output color is needed to be adjusted. For example, the current chromatic aberration value may be acquired through a color sensor such that the acquired chromatic aberration value is more exact, where the acquired chromatic aberration value is the chromatic aberration value of the touch sensing unit, and the adjusting module 103 may adjust the display parameters of the display unit in accordance with the acquired chromatic aberration value. For example, the output color of the display unit may be formed as a complementary color with the output color of the touch sensing unit through an adjustment such that the color to be output is correct, thus correcting the chromatic aberration. Alternatively, the final output may also be a color as anticipated by a user through an adjustment. When an adjustment is needed, the adjusting manner performs the adjustment after the current exact chromatic aberration value is acquired, so making the adjustment result more exact.
A display adjusting method will be described hereinafter by way of specific embodiments.

Step 201 is to judge whether a touch sensing unit generates chromatic aberration to obtain a first judgment result.
Step 202 is to judge whether the chromatic aberration meets a preset condition to obtain a second judgment result in the case where the first judgment result indicates that the touch sensing unit generates chromatic aberration.
Step 203 is to adjust display parameters of a display unit based on the chromatic aberration to correct the chromatic aberration in the case where the second judgment result indicates that the chromatic aberration meets the preset condition.
The display adjusting method according to an embodiment includes: judging whether the touch sensing unit generates chromatic aberration to obtain a first judgment result; judging whether the chromatic aberration meets a preset condition to obtain a second judgment result in the case where the first judgment result indicates that the touch sensing unit generates chromatic aberration; and adjusting display parameters of the display unit based on the chromatic aberration to correct the chromatic aberration in the case where the second judgment result indicates that the chromatic aberration meets the preset condition. In the case where chromatic aberration is generated on the touch sensing unit, the display parameters of the display unit are adjusted to correct the chromatic aberration such that the display unit outputs a correct color, thus solving the problem that the yellowish screen caused by the aging of thin-film materials and meeting user requirements. There are many kinds of adjusting manners to be selected by a user as required.
As shown in
S100 is to acquire first relative position information between a first pixel unit of an interference reflective display screen and a first area within a range illuminated by the first pixel unit.
The interference reflective display screen relates to the reflective technology based on interference modulation, which uses the ambient light as a light source and does not need backlight.
It should be understood that, there may be many pixel units in the interference reflective display screen, and each pixel unit may be adjusted by the method according to the disclosure.
It is to be noted that, a pixel unit of an interference reflective display screen generally has an illumination range due to the obstruction of various objects (for example, interior walls). For example, in the case where an interference reflective display screen is placed in a sitting room, the illumination range of a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen may be the sitting room. In the case where a viewer views image information displayed on the interference reflective display screen, the viewer is generally within the illumination range of the pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen. For example, if an interference reflective display screen is placed in a sitting room, if a viewer wants to view the image information displayed on the interference reflective display screen, he should be in the sitting room, and not be outside the illumination range of a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen (for example, another room separated by a wall).
The first area may be an area where a viewer is located.
The intensity of light interfered by a thin-film which is generated by a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen may be obtained in accordance with the following Equation:
I=I1+I2+2A1*A2*cos θ=I1+I2+2A1*A2*cos(2Π*ΔL/λ). formula (1)
In formula (1), I denotes the intensity of interference light, I1 denotes the light intensity of interference beam 1, I2 denotes the intensity of interference beam 2, A1 denotes the amplitude of interference beam 1, A2 denotes the amplitude of interference beam 2, ΔL denotes an optical path difference between two interference beams, λ denotes the wave length of an interference light, and θ denotes the phase difference between interference beam 1 and interference beam 2.
In the case where ΔL=mλ/2 (where m is an integer), the light is enhanced due to the light coherent. It should be understood that, when interference beam 1 and interference beam 2 both emit along the normal direction of an air thin-film, ΔL is twice the thickness of the air thin-film (i.e., twice the distance between two reflecting layers). The thickness of the air thin-film is adjusted in such a way that ΔL meets ΔL=mλ1/2. According to Equation (1), after interference, the intensity of light whose wave length is λ1 is maximized. While if light is slanting into an eye under this thickness of the air thin-film, the optical path difference between two interference beams may deviate ΔL, and the wave length of the corresponding interfered light is λ2, and λ1 is not equal to λ2, so chromatic aberration is generated. That is, the existing interference reflective display screen has the problem of generating chromatic aberration.
Since only the light ray the emitting direction of which deviates far away from the normal of a pixel unit can be seen in the case where a viewer is located far away from the normal of the pixel unit, the optical deflection is generated. The angel of the pixel unit may be adjusted based on the relative position relationship between the pixel unit and the position of the viewer, such that the viewer can view the light emitted from a position nearby the normal of the pixel unit without moving, and avoiding the optical deflection. Certainly, in the case where the viewer moves, according to the disclosure, the angle of the pixel unit may be adjusted in accordance with the position of the viewer so as to prevent from generating chromatic aberration.
The first area may also be an area where a light source is located.
Since the interference reflective display screen uses the ambient light as a light source, in the case where that the orientation of the display screen deviates from a light source which has a greater light intensity, the intensity of light emitted from the display screen is lower. While in the case where a light source the light intensity of which is greater is located in the normal direction of the display screen, the intensity of a light lay emitted from the display screen is too high. Accordingly, the existing interference reflective display screen has the problem that its display brightness is not appropriate.
It should be understood that, since the interference reflective display screen is a display screen which uses the ambient light as a display light source, the intensity of the light illuminating the interference reflective display causes a great impact on the brightness of the screen of the interference reflective display screen. In the case where the first area is an area where the light source is located, the pixel unit is adjusted in accordance with the relative position relationship between the pixel unit and the area where the light source is located, such that the interference reflective display screen can be illuminated by the light which has an appropriated light intensity and the optimization of the brightness of the interference reflective display screen is achieved.
The first area may also include an area where a viewer is located and an area where a light source is located.
It is to be noted that, in another embodiment of the disclosure, the area where a viewer is located and the area where a light source is located may be regarded as an integral area. Accordingly, it may achieve the effects of avoiding chromatic aberration and optimizing the brightness.
Thus, the first area may include an area where a viewer is located and/or an area where a light source is located.
S200 is to adjust the angle of the first pixel unit in accordance with the first relative position information.
As shown in
S210 is to adjust the angle of the first pixel unit in accordance with the first relative position information such that the normal of the first pixel unit passes through the first area.
In other embodiments of the disclosure, the angle of the first unit may also be adjusted by using other reference line or reference point as a reference. As an example, the vertical line of the center of an outside surface of a first pixel unit may be used.
The horizontal angle of the first pixel unit may be adjusted, the vertical angle of the first pixel unit may be adjusted, or both the horizontal angle and the vertical angle of the first pixel unit may be adjusted.
In practical application, the height of the first pixel unit may be adjusted. For example, if a viewer is tall, the height of the first pixel unit may be adjusted upper so that its height is suitable for the viewer. In addition, the horizontal position of the first pixel unit may be adjusted. For example, the horizontal position of the first pixel unit is adjusted front-back and left-right. It should be understood that, the adjusting manner also has a better practicability. In the case where the position where a viewer is located deviates from the normal direction of the interference reflective display screen, the horizontal direction of the interference reflective display screen may be adjusted such that the viewer is located in the normal direction of the display screen.
In practical application, each pixel unit may be adjusted separately, multiple pixel units may be adjusted uniformly, or the entire interference reflective display screen including all the pixel units may be adjusted, which is not limited here in the disclosure.
In a display adjusting method according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the relative position relationship between a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen and a first area within a range illuminated by the first pixel unit may be acquired; and the angle of the pixel unit is adjusted in accordance with the relative position information. Since the angle of the interference reflective display screen may be adjusted in accordance with the surrounding environment in the disclosure, it enables the interference reflective display screen to adjust its angle in accordance with the surrounding environment automatically in the disclosure, thus the display effect of the interference reflective display screen is improved.
As shown in
S110 is to acquire second relative position information between the image acquiring apparatus and the first pixel unit.
S120 is to acquire third relative position information between the first area within a range illuminated by the first pixel unit and the image acquiring apparatus by using the image acquiring apparatus.
The image acquiring apparatus may be a camera.
It should be understood that, in order to not affect the display of the display screen and light emitted from the display screen, the image acquiring apparatus is generally provided on the outside of each pixel unit of the display screen, for example, at the upper edge of the display screen. Since only the relative position relationship between the image acquiring apparatus and the first area may be obtained from an image which is acquired from the image acquiring apparatus, it also needs to acquire relative position information between the image acquiring apparatus and the first pixel unit so as to obtain the relative position information between the first pixel unit and the first area.
It is to be noted that, step S110 and step S120 are not limited for the execution sequence, and may be executed simultaneously or successively.
S130 is to acquire the first relative position information between the first pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen and the first area in accordance with the second relative position information and the third relative position information.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, the first relative position information between the first pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen and the first area may be acquired by converting relative positions of the second relative position information and the third relative position information.
As shown in
S121 is to recognize a facial image of the viewer from an image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus by using the face recognition technology.
The face recognition technology is used to recognize input facial image or video stream based on facial features. It may be judged firstly by the face recognition technology that whether there is a face. If there is a face, the position and size of each face and position information of each main facial organ may be further presented. Furthermore, identity characteristics which are implied in each face may be exacted in accordance with these information, and compared with the faces known, thus the identity of each face is recognized.
In the disclosure, it may only use the technology which judges whether there is a face in the face recognition technology, i.e., it only needs to recognize that there is a face. In another embodiment of the disclosure, it may use all the face recognition technology, and thus may recognize identity features corresponding to a facial image. The specific application may be as follows.
A white list of viewers is stored in advance, and the facial image information of the viewers is associated with the identify information and added into the white list of viewers.
The facial image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus may recognized by using the face recognition technology. If there is a facial image, it is further recognized that whether the facial image corresponds to at least one piece of facial image information of the white list of viewers. If the facial image corresponds to at least one piece of facial image information of the white list of viewers, the corresponding functions after the adjusting method of the interference reflective display screen according to the disclosure is applied in the electronic device are started. If the facial image does not correspond to at least one piece of facial image information of the white list of viewers, the function is not started.
S122 is to compare the facial image with the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and calculate third relative position information between the viewer and the image acquiring apparatus.
It should be understood that, in the case where the on the premise of no zoom, if a face is more far away from the image acquiring apparatus, the facial image is smaller in an image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus. The distance between the face and the image acquiring apparatus may be determined in accordance with the size of the facial image. And the angle relationship between the face and the image acquiring apparatus may be determined in accordance with the distance and position relationship between the facial image and the center of the image acquire by the image acquiring apparatus. Finally, the third relative position relationship may be determined in accordance with the distance and angle obtained above.
As shown in
S124 is to recognize an image of a light source area with the brightness greater than a first threshold from an image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus.
It should be understood that, except for self-luminous object, all objects may reflect light ray, therefore all objects may reflect light ray into the interference reflective display screen. Accordingly, objects which may reflect light ray into the interference reflective display screen may all be referred as light sources. The area where the light source is located may be referred as a light source area. It should be understood that, the brightness of an image corresponding to the area where a self-luminous object is located is larger.
In practical application, the brightness value may be obtained by judging the values of the three-color RGB of different positions in an image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and then compared with a first threshold to determine a light source area. For example, if the values of three-color RGB are all maximums, the corresponding part of the image is white and the brightness vale thereof is maximal may be determined as a light source with great brightness. Since determining brightness value from an image is known by those skilled in the art, for convenience, it is not described herein.
S125 is to compare the image of the light source area with the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and calculate third relative position information between the light source area and the image acquiring apparatus.
The comparison manner between an image of a light source and an image acquired by an image acquiring apparatus is the same as that between a facial image and an image acquired by an image acquiring apparatus in an embodiment as shown in
As shown in
Step S127 is to recognize a facial image of the viewer from the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus by using the face recognition technology, and recognize an image of the light source area with the brightness greater than a first threshold from the images acquired by the image acquiring apparatus.
In practical application, in the case where a facial image and an image of a light source area are acquired by image acquiring apparatus, the facial image and the image of a light source area may be recognized.
S128 is to compare the facial image with the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and calculate fourth relative position sub-information; compare the image of a light source area with the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and calculate fifth relative position sub-information; and set the fourth relative position sub-information and the fifth relative position sub-information as the third relative position information which indicates that the relative position between the first area in the illumination rang of the first pixel unit and the image acquiring apparatus.
After the facial image and the image of a light source are recognized, the fourth relative position relationship between the facial image and the image acquiring apparatus and the fifth relative position relationship between the light source and the image acquiring apparatus may be obtained respectively, and the fourth relative position relationship and the fifth relative position relationship are set together as the third relative position relationship used to adjust the angle of the display screen, so as to solve the problem of chromatic aberration and inappropriate brightness.
As shown in
S211 is to generate a pixel adjusting instruction containing adjustment angle information in accordance with the first relative position information.
In the case where a preset range is ±5° and the first relative position information between the first area and the first pixel unit shows that the horizontal angle between the normal of the first area and the normal of the first pixel unit is ±10°, a pixel adjusting instruction containing adjustment angle information of −5° may be generated.
S212 is to adjust the angle of the first pixel unit in accordance with the pixel adjusting instruction such that the first area is in a preset range of the normal of the first pixel unit.
The angle of the first pixel unit may be adjusted by an expansion hinge and/or electrostatic stimulation spring in accordance with the pixel adjusting instruction such that the first area is in the preset range of the normal of the first pixel unit.
As shown in
As shown in
S300 is to acquire sixth relative position information between the interference reflective display screen and the first area in a range illuminated by the interference reflective display screen.
It should be understood that, it may obtain not only the relative position relationship between the pixel unit of the display screen and the first area but also the relative position relationship between the display screen and the first area.
S400 is to adjust the angle of the interference reflective display screen in accordance with the sixth relative position information.
Step S400 may be set to adjust the angle of the interference reflective display screen in accordance with the sixth relative position information such that the first area is in the preset range of the normal of the first pixel unit.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, since the adjustable range of the angle of the pixel unit is small, in the case where the relative position between the first area and the interference reflective display screen deviates large, the angle of the interference reflective display screen may be adjusted directly, thus it may be achieved that large range of angle is adjusted quickly.
It is to be noted that, through it is more appropriate that steps S300 and S400 are executed before steps S100 and S200, steps S300 and S400 may be executed simultaneously with steps S100 and S200. That is, the angle of the pixel unit of the display screen may also be adjusted during the adjustment of the angle of the display screen.
Corresponding to the embodiments of the method, a display adjusting system is also provided in the disclosure.
As shown in
The first acquiring unit 100 is adapted to acquire first relative position information between a first pixel unit of an interference reflective display screen and a first area within a range illuminated by the first pixel unit.
The interference reflective display screen relates to the reflective technique based on interference modulation, which uses the ambient light as a light source and does not need backlight.
It should be understood that, there may be many pixel units in the interference reflective display screen, and each pixel unit may be adjusted by the method according to the disclosure.
It is to be noted that, a pixel unit of an interference reflective display screen generally has an illumination range due to the obstruction of various objects (for example, interior walls). For example, in the case where an interference reflective display screen is placed in a sitting room, the illumination range of a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen may be the sitting room. In the case where a viewer views image information displayed on the interference reflective display screen, the viewer is generally within the illumination range of the pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen. For example, if an interference reflective display screen is placed in a sitting room, if a viewer wants to view the image information displayed on the interference reflective display screen, he should he in the sitting room, and not be outside the illumination range of a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen (for example, another room separated by a wall).
The first area may be an area where a viewer is located.
The intensity of light interfered by a thin-film which is generated by a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen may be obtained in accordance with the following Equation:
I=I1+I2+2A1*A2*cos θ=I1+I2+2A1*A2*cos(2Π*ΔL/λ). formula (1)
In formula (1), I denotes the intensity of interference light, I1 denotes the light intensity of interference beam 1, I2 denotes the intensity of interference beam 2, A1 denotes the amplitude of interference beam 1, A2 denotes the amplitude of interference beam 2, ΔL denotes an optical path difference between two interference beams, λ denotes the wave length of interference light, and θ denotes the phase difference between interference beam 1 and interference beam 2.
When ΔL=mλ/2 (where m is an integer), the light is enhanced due to the light coherent. It should be understood that, when interference beam 1 and interference beam 2 both emit along the normal direction of an air thin-film, ΔL is twice the thickness of the air thin-film (i.e., twice the distance between two reflecting layers). The thickness of the air thin-film is adjusted in such a way that ΔL meets ΔL=mλ1/2. According to Equation (1), after interference, the intensity of light whose wave length is λ1 is maximized. While if light is slanting into an eye under this thickness of the air thin-film, the optical path difference between two interference beams may deviate ΔL, and the wave length of the corresponding interfered light is λ2, and λ1 is not equal to λ2, so chromatic aberration is generated. That is, the existing interference reflective display screen has the problem of chromatic aberration.
Since only the light ray the emitting direction of which deviates far away from the normal of a pixel unit can be seen in the case where a viewer is located far away from the normal of the pixel unit, the optical deflection is generated. The angle of the pixel unit may be adjusted based on the relative position relationship between the pixel unit and the position of the viewer, such that the viewer can view the light emitted from a position nearby the normal of the pixel unit without moving, and avoiding the optical deflection. Certainly, in the case where the viewer moves, according to the disclosure, the angle of the pixel unit may be adjusted in accordance with the position of the viewer so as to prevent from generating chromatic aberration.
The first area may also be an area where a light source is located.
Since the interference reflective display screen uses the ambient light as a light source, in the case where that the orientation of the display screen deviates from a light source which has a greater light intensity, the intensity of a light lay emitted from the display screen is lower. While in the case where a light source the light intensity of which is greater is located in the normal direction of the display screen, the intensity of a light lay emitted from the display screen is too high. Accordingly, the existing interference reflective display screen has the problem that its display brightness is not appropriate.
It should be understood that, since the interference reflective display screen is a display screen which uses the ambient light as a display light source, the intensity of the light illuminating the interference reflective display screen causes a great impact on the brightness of the screen of the interference reflective screen. In the case where the first area is an area where a light source is located, the pixel unit is adjusted in accordance with the relative position relationship between the pixel unit and the area where a light source is located, such that the interference reflective display screen can be illuminated by the light which has an appropriated light intensity and the optimization of the brightness of the interference reflective display screen is achieved.
The first area may also include an area where a viewer is located and an area where a light source is located.
It is to be noted that, in another embodiment of the disclosure, the area where a viewer is located and the area where a light source is located may be regarded as an integral area. Accordingly, it may achieve the effects of avoiding chromatic aberration and optimizing the brightness.
Thus, the first area may include an area where a viewer is located and/or an area where a light source is located.
The adjusting unit 200 is adapted to adjust the angle of the first pixel unit in accordance with the first relative position information.
The adjusting unit 200 may be adapted to adjust the angle of the first pixel unit in accordance with the first relative position information such that the normal of the first pixel unit passes through the first area.
In other embodiments of the disclosure, the angle of the first unit may also be adjusted by using other reference line or reference point as a reference. As an example, the vertical line of the center of an outside surface of a first pixel unit may be used.
The horizontal angle of the first pixel unit may be adjusted, the vertical angle of the first pixel unit may be adjusted, or both the horizontal angle and the vertical angle of the first pixel unit may be adjusted.
In practical application, the height of the first pixel unit may be adjusted. For example, if a viewer is tall, the height of the first pixel unit may be adjusted upper so that its height is suitable for the viewer. In addition, the horizontal position of the first pixel unit may be adjusted. For example, the horizontal position of the first pixel unit is adjusted front-back and left-right. It should be understood that, the adjusting manner also has a better practicability. In the case where the position where the viewer is located deviates from the normal direction of the interference reflective display screen, the horizontal direction of the interference reflective display screen may be adjusted such that the viewer is located in the normal direction of the display screen.
In practical application, each pixel unit may be adjusted separately, multiple pixel units may be adjusted uniformly, or the entire interference reflective display screen including all the pixel units may be adjusted, which is not limited here in the disclosure.
In a display adjusting system according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the relative position relationship between a pixel unit of the interference reflective display screen and a first area within a range illuminated by the first pixel unit may be acquired; and the angle of the pixel unit is adjusted in accordance with the relative position information. Since the angle of the interference reflective display screen may be adjusted in accordance with the surrounding environment in the disclosure, it enables the interference reflective display screen to adjust its angle in accordance with the surrounding environment automatically in the disclosure, thus the display effect of the interference reflective display screen is improved.

The first recognizing subunit 121 is adapted to recognize a facial image of the viewer from an image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus by using the face recognition technology.
The face recognition technology is used to recognize input facial image or video stream based on facial features. It may be judged firstly by the face recognition technology that whether there is a face. If there is a face, the position and size of each face and position information of each main facial organ may be further presented. Furthermore, identity characteristics which are implied in each face may be exacted in accordance with these information, and compared with the faces known, thus the identity of each face is recognized.
In the disclosure, it may only use the technology which judges whether there is a face in the face recognition technology, i.e., it only needs to recognize that there is a face. In another embodiment of the disclosure, it may use all the face recognition technology, and thus may recognize identity features corresponding to a facial image. The specific application may be as follows.
A white list of viewers is stored in advance, and the facial image information of the viewers is associated with the identify information and added into the white list of viewers.
The facial image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus may recognized by using the face recognition technology. If there is a facial image, it is further recognized that whether the facial image corresponds to at least one piece of facial image information of the white list of viewers. If the facial image corresponds to at least one piece of facial image information of the white list of viewers, the corresponding functions after the adjusting method of the interference reflective display screen according to the disclosure is applied in the electronic device are started. If the facial image does not correspond to at least one piece of facial image information of the white list of viewers, the function is not started.
The first comparing subunit 122 is adapted to compare the facial image with the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and calculate third relative position information between the viewer and the image acquiring apparatus.
It should be understood that, on the premise of no zoom, if a face is more far away from the image acquiring apparatus, the facial image is smaller in an image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus. The distance between the face and the image acquiring apparatus may be determined in accordance with the size of the facial image. And the angle relationship between the face and the image acquiring apparatus may be determined in accordance with the distance and position relationship between the facial image and the center of the image acquire by the image acquiring apparatus. Finally, the third relative position relationship may be determined in accordance with the distance and angle obtained above.

The second recognizing subunit 124 is adapted to recognize an image of a light source area with the brightness greater than a first threshold from the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus.
It should be understood that, except for self-luminous object, all objects may reflect light ray, therefore all objects may reflect light ray into the interference reflective display screen. Accordingly, objects which may reflect light ray into the interference reflective display screen may all be referred as light sources. The area where a light source is located may be referred as a light source area. It should be understood that, the brightness of an image corresponding to the area where a self-luminous object is located is larger.
In practical application, the brightness value may be obtained by judging the values of the three-color RGB of different positions in the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and then compared with a first threshold to determine the light source area. For example, if the values of three-color RGB are all maximums, the corresponding part of the image is white and the brightness vale thereof is maximal may be determined as a light source with great brightness. Since determining brightness value from an image is known by those skilled in the art, for convenience, it is not described herein.
The second comparing subunit 125 is adapted to compare the image of the light source area with the image acquired by the image acquiring apparatus, and calculate third relative position information between the light source area and the image acquiring apparatus.
