Abstract

Disclosed are a display system and a control method for the same. The display system includes a display means ( 1 ), an image input means ( 2 ), a depth of field analysis means ( 3 ) and a bending degree control means ( 4 ). The image input means ( 2 ) inputs the images to the depth of field analysis means; the depth of field analysis means ( 3 ) analyzes the depth of field of the images; the bending degree control means ( 4 ) controls the bending degree of the display means according to the depth of field of the images; the display means ( 1 ) displays the images. The display system and the control method thereof can adapt to the images with different depth of field, thus observer's visual experience is improved.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display system, comprising: a display means, an image input means, a depth of field analysis means and a bending degree control means; wherein the image input means is configured to input an image to the depth of field analysis means; the depth of field analysis means is configured to analyze an depth of field of the image; the bending degree control means is configured to control a bending degree of the display means according to the depth of field of the image; the display means is configured to display the image.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis of the image's depth of field comprises analyzing an average value of depth of field of multiple images in a preset time; the bending degree control means is configured to control the bending degree of the display means by stages according to the average value.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the bending degree control means comprises a depth of field conversion unit and a display adjustable control unit, the depth of field conversion unit is configured to convert the depth of field of the image which is obtained from the depth of field analysis means into an adjustable information; the display adjustable control unit is configured to control the bending degree of the display means according to the adjustable information.

4. The display system according to claim 1 , further comprising: an image buffer means, the image buffer means is configured to buffer the image which input from the image input means for a period of time.

5. The display system according to claim 4 , wherein the analysis of the image's depth of field further comprises: extracting the image buffered in the image buffer means to analyze the depth of field of the image, and estimating a display mode of the display system.

6. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display means comprises a display screen, a maximal bending degree of the display screen d=D(1−cos a)/cos a, wherein, D is a distance between the display screen and an eye, a is an effective viewing angle of the eye, a is more than or equal to 28° and less than or equal to 50°.

7. The display system according to claim 6 , wherein H is a height of the display screen, the distance between the display screen and the eye D=2.5H.

8. A control method for a display system, comprising:
inputting an image;
analyzing the image's depth of field;
controlling a bending degree of a display means according to the depth of field of the image;
displaying the image.

9. The control method for the display system according to claim 8 , wherein the step of analyzing the image's depth of field comprises: analyzing an average value of the depth of field of multiple images in a preset time;
the bending degree control means controls the bending degree of the display means by stags according to the average value.

10. The control method for the display system according to claim 8 , wherein the step of controlling a bending degree of a display means according to the depth of field of the image comprises:
converting the depth of field of the image to an adjustable information;
controlling the bending degree of the display means according to the adjustable information.

11. The control method for the display system according to claim 8 , further comprising: buffering the image for a period of time in an image buffer means.

12. The control method for the display system according to claim 11 , wherein the step of analyzing the image's depth of field further comprises: extracting the image buffered in the image buffer means to analyze the depth of field of the image, and estimating a display mode of the display system.
