Abstract

A display method and a display device are provided. The display method may be applied to a display device having a lens unit and a display unit for normal display, and may include steps of: detecting a first distance between the lens unit and the display unit; calculating correction information according to the first distance and transmitting the correction information to the display unit; and displaying a corrected image by the display unit according to the correction information, so that the corrected image is converged into eyes of a user via the lens unit, wherein the corrected image is obtained by correcting an original image according to the first distance.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display method for a display device having a lens unit and a display unit, comprising:
detecting a first distance between the lens unit and the display unit;
calculating correction information according to the first distance and transmitting the correction information to the display unit; and
displaying a corrected image by the display unit according to the correction information, so that the corrected image is converged into eyes of a user via the lens unit, wherein the corrected image is obtained by correcting an original image according to the first distance.

2. The display method of claim 1 , wherein,
the calculating the correction information according to the first distance comprises: calculating the corrected image, as the correction information, according to the first distance and the original image; and
the displaying the corrected image by the display unit according to the correction information comprises: displaying the corrected image by the display unit.

3. The display method of claim 1 , wherein,
the calculating the correction information according to the first distance comprises: calculating a correction instruction, as the correction information, according to the first distance; and
the displaying the corrected image by the display unit according to the correction information comprises: obtaining the corrected image by correcting the original image by the display unit according to the correction instruction and displaying the corrected image by the display unit.

4. The display method of claim 3 , wherein the calculating correction information according to the first distance and transmitting the correction information to the display unit comprises:
determining whether the first distance is changed with respect to a previous first distance;
when the first distance is changed with respect to the previous first distance, updating the correction information according to a changed first distance and transmitting the updated correction information to the display unit.

5. The display method of claim 3 , wherein the obtaining the corrected image by correcting the original image by the display unit according to the correction instruction comprises:
determining, by the display unit, whether a received correction instruction is updated with respect to a previous correction instruction;
when the received correction instruction is updated with respect to the previous correction instruction, correcting the original image according to the updated correction instruction to obtain the corrected image.

6. The display method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the first distance between the lens unit and the display unit comprises:
detecting a second distance in a predetermined direction between the lens unit and the display unit using a distance sensor fixedly coupled to the lens unit; and
calculating the first distance according to the predetermined direction and the second distance.

7. The display method of claim 6 , wherein the calculating the first distance according to the predetermined direction and the second distance comprises:
calculating the first distance by a formula of d=(S+S 0 )*cos θ, where d is the first distance, S is the second distance, S 0 is a distance in the predetermined direction between a distance measurement starting point of the distance sensor and a center plane of the lens unit, and θ is an angle between the predetermined direction and a direction of the first distance.

8. The display method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the corrected image by correcting an original image according to the first distance comprises:
searching for prestored correction information corresponding to the first distance according to the first distance; and
correcting the original image according to the correction information to obtain the corrected image.

9. A display device comprising:
a lens unit configured to converge light emitted from a display unit into eyes of a user;
an adjustor configured to adjust a first distance between the lens unit and the display unit;
a distance measurement unit configured to detect the first distance; and
a corrector configured to calculate correction information according to the first distance and transmit the correction information to the display unit so as to control the display unit to display a corrected image according to the correction information, wherein the corrected image is obtained by correcting an original image according to the first distance.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein,
the display device is a virtual reality display device, the display unit comprises a first display subunit and a second display subunit; and
the lens unit comprises:
a first lens subunit configured to converge light emitted from the first display subunit into a left eye of the user; and
a second lens subunit configured to converge light emitted from the second display subunit into a right eye of the user.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein,
the adjustor is configured to adjust a first sub-distance between the first lens subunit and the first display subunit, and adjust a second sub-distance between the second lens subunit and the second display subunit, the first sub-distance and the second sub-distance are adjusted independently of each other; and
the corrector is configured to calculate first correction information according to the first sub-distance and transmit the first correction information to the first display subunit so as to control the first display subunit to display a first corrected image according to the first correction information, wherein the first corrected image is obtained by correcting a first original image according to the first sub-distance; the corrector is further configured to calculate second correction information according to the second sub-distance and transmit the second correction information to the second display subunit so as to control the second display subunit to display a second corrected image according to the second correction information, wherein the second corrected image is obtained by correcting a second original image according to the second sub-distance.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein,
the adjustor comprises a first adjustor having a guide rail and a second adjustor having a guide rail;
at least one of the first display subunit or the first lens subunit is mounted on the first adjustor via a fastener; and
at least one of the second display subunit or the second lens subunit is mounted on the second adjustor via a fastener.

13. The display device of claim 9 , wherein,
the correction information comprises a correction instruction;
the corrector is further configured to determine whether the first distance is changed with respect to a previous first distance;
in a case that the first distance is changed with respect to the previous first distance, the corrector updates the correction information according to a changed first distance and transmit the updated correction information to the display unit; and
in a case that the first distance is not changed with respect to the previous first distance, the corrector obtains the correction information according to the previous first distance and transmit the correction information to the display unit.

14. The display device of claim 9 , wherein,
the correction information comprises a correction instruction;
the corrector is further configured to determine whether a received correction instruction is updated with respect to a previous correction instruction;
in a case that the received correction instruction is updated
