Abstract

An image compensating portion located on a display panel includes a light incident surface, a light emitting surface, and a plurality of light guiding channels parallel with each other. The display panel includes a main display region and a periphery display region. A projection of the light emitting surface on the light incident surface is larger than an area of the light incident surface. The light guiding channel guides lights from the light incident surface to be emitted from the light emitting surface for being extended.

Claims (20)

1. An image compensating apparatus located on a display panel, the image compensating apparatus comprising:

an image compensating portion comprising a light incident surface, a light emitting surface, and a plurality of light guiding channels connected with the light incident surface and the light emitting surface, wherein a projection of the light emitting surface on the light incident surface is larger than an area of the light incident surface, and wherein each light guiding channel guides light from the light incident surface to be emitted from the light emitting surface for being extended;

wherein each of the light guiding channels is a frustum cone shaped, the image compensating portion extends an image that is displayed on the edges of the display panel, wherein angles, defined by different central axes of the light guiding channels and the light incident surface, are gradually elevated along a direction from a periphery display region to a main display region surrounded by the periphery display region.

2. The image compensating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting surface connected with the light incident surface is substantially arc shaped and protrudes outwardly away from the light incident surface.

3. The image compensating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the image compensating portion further comprises an inclined surface connected to the light incident surface and the light emitting surface, wherein the angle defined between the inclined surface and the light incident surface is an obtuse angle.

4. The image compensating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the angle defined by the light incident surface and the light inclined surface is within 130 degrees to 150 degrees.

5. The image compensating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein cross-sections of each light guiding channel are gradually elevated along a direction away from the light incident surface.

6. The image compensating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a main display region and a periphery display region corresponding to the image compensating portion, wherein the light guiding channel guides lights from the light incident surface to the light emitting surface to be emitted for extending an image covering region of the periphery display region.

7. The image compensating apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the display panel further comprises a non-display region, wherein the periphery display region is positioned between the main display region and the non-display region, wherein the image compensating portion extends an image displayed on the periphery display region to cover an area combined by upper regions of the periphery display region and the non-display region.

8. The image compensating apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the main display region and the periphery display region respectively comprise a plurality of pixels, wherein an average pixel density of the main display region is less than an average pixel density of the periphery display region.

9. The image compensating apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the pixel density of the periphery display region are gradually elevated along a direction away from the main display region.

10. The image compensating apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a distance between adjacent pixels in the periphery display region is less than a distance between adjacent pixels in the main display region.

11. The image compensating apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a detached supporting portion, wherein the supporting portion set on the non-display region supports the image compensating portion.

12. A display assembly comprising:

at least two displays arranged in parallel;

wherein each of the at least two displays comprises a display panel and an image compensating apparatus with an image compensating portion, wherein the display panel comprises a main display region and a periphery display region corresponding to the image compensating portion, and wherein the image compensating portion comprises a light incident surface, a light emitting surface, and a plurality of light guiding channels connected with the light incident surface and the light emitting surface, wherein a projection of the light emitting surface on the light incident surface is larger than an area of the light incident surface, wherein the light guiding channel guides lights from the light incident surface to be emitted from the light emitting surface for extending an image covering region of the periphery display region; and

wherein each of the light guiding channels is a frustum cone shaped, the image compensating portion extends an image that is displayed on the edges of the display panel, wherein angles, defined by different central axes of the light guiding channels and the light incident surface, are gradually elevated along a direction from a periphery display region to a main display region surrounded by the periphery display region.

13. The display assembly of claim 12 , wherein the light emitting surface connected with the light incident surface is substantially arc shaped, and is protruded outwardly away from the light incident surface.

14. The display assembly of claim 12 , wherein cross: sections of the light guiding channel are gradually elevated along a direction away from the light incident surface.

15. The display assembly of claim 12 , wherein the image compensating apparatuses are jointed together, wherein the light guiding channel guides lights from the light incident surface to the light emitting surface to be emitted for extending an image covering region of the periphery display region.
