Sony patents method to adjust screen brightness based on viewing angle
Sony describes a technique that adjusts the brightness and color of an image based on the angle at which a user is looking at a display. The system uses a pre-calculated data map to create a correction matrix that fixes how the picture appears from different positions.
In the filing’s own words
An image processing method according to an embodiment of the present technology includes controlling a graphics processing apparatus to acquire a corrective luminance texture including a luminance value associated with a visually recognizing angle of a user with respect to at least one display panel, generating a color transformation matrix based on the visually recognizing angle and the corrective luminance texture acquired, and correcting luminance and chromaticity of a rendering image based on the color transformation matrix generated. This enables an efficient image correction.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An image processing method, comprising controlling a graphics processing apparatus to: acquire a corrective luminance texture including a luminance value associated with a visually recognizing angle of a user with respect to at least one display panel; generating a color transformation matrix based on the visually recognizing angle and the corrective luminance texture acquired; and correcting luminance and chromaticity of a rendering image based on the color transformation matrix generated.
