Abstract

A display method for a display device is provided. The display method comprises activating a Head Mounted Theater (HMT) mode, the HMT mode displaying two images which are substantially same each other on first and second areas respectively, separated from each other, in a display area of the display device; and adjusting a display time, for displaying a black screen in the first and second areas, of a unit frame time when the HMT mode is activated.

Claims (55)

1. A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

activating at least one application related to a head mounted theater (HMT)

displaying two images which are substantially same each other on first and second areas respectively, separated from each other, in a display area of the electronic device by using the at least one application that is activated;

detecting a movement of the electronic device; and

adjusting a display time, for displaying a black screen in the first and second areas, of a unit frame time, based on the detected movement.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the black screen is provided by disabling the first and second areas.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes an active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED), and

wherein the adjusting the display time for displaying the black screen is provided by adjusting a percentage of inactivating the AMOLED.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the black screen is provided by displaying a black image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein activating the at least one application comprises activating the at least one application when the electronic device is communicatively coupled to a head mounted device (HMD).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein activating the at least one application comprises activating the at least one application when detecting that the electronic device is worn by a user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein activating the at least one application comprises activating the at least one application in response to detection of a user input.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display time is adjusted based on the detected movement of the electronic device separate from any movement of the two images.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting an execution of the at least one application; and

adjusting the display time of the black screen based on the detection of the execution of the at least one application.

10. A method for operating an electronic device including an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), the method comprising:

activating at least one application related to a head mounted theater (HMT),

displaying an image on first and second area, separated from each other, in a display area of the electronic device by using the at least one application that is activated;

detecting a movement of the electronic device; and

increasing a driving clock speed of an OLED circuit for driving the OLED, based on the detected movement.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein activating the at least one application comprises activating the at least one application when the electronic device is communicatively coupled to a head mounted device (HIVID).

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein activating the at least one application comprises activating the at least one application when detecting that the electronic device is worn by a user.

13. The display method of claim 10 , wherein activating the at least one application comprises activating the at least one application in response to detection of a user input.

14. The display method of claim 10 , further comprising:

detecting an execution of the at least one application; and

adjusting the driving clock speed of the OLED circuit based on the detection of the execution of the at least one application.

15. An electronic device comprising:

a display; and

a controller configured to:

activate at least one application related to head mounted theater (HMT),

display two images which are substantially same each other on first and second areas respectively, separated from each other, in a display area of the electronic device by using the at least one application that is activated;

detect a movement of the electronic device; and

adjust a display time, for displaying a black screen in the first and second areas, of a unit frame time, based on the detected movement.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the black screen is provided by disabling the first and second areas.

17. The device of claim 15 , wherein the electronic device includes an active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED), and

wherein the adjusting the display time for displaying the black screen is provided by adjusting a percentage of inactivating the AMOLED.

18. The device of claim 15 , wherein the black screen is provided by displaying a black image.

19. The device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to activate the at least one application when the display device is communicatively coupled to a head mounted device (HMD).

20. The device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to activate the at least one application when detecting that the electronic device is worn by a user.

21. The device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to activate the at least one application in response to detection of a user input.

22. The device of claim 15 , wherein the display time is adjusted based on the detected movement of the electronic device separate from any movement of the two images.

23. The device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to detect an execution of at least one application, and adjust the display time of the black screen based on the detection of the execution of the application.

24. An electronic device comprising:

an organic light emitting diode (OLED);

an OLED circuit for driving the OLED; and

a controller configured to:

activate at least one application related to a head mounted theater (HMT)

display an image on first and second area, separated from each other, in a display area of the display device by using the at least one application that is activated;

detect a movement of the electronic device; and

increase a driving clock speed of the OLED circuit, based on the detected movement.

25. The device of claim 24 , wherein the controller is configured to activate the at least one application when the electronic device is communicatively coupled to a Head-Mounted Device (HMD).

26. The device of claim 24 , wherein the controller is configured to activate the at least one application when detecting that the electronic device is worn by a user.

27. The device of claim 24 , wherein the controller is configured to activate the at least one application in response to detection of a user input.

28. The device of claim 24 , wherein the controller is configured to detect an execution of the at least one application, and adjust the driving clock speed of the OLED circuit based on the detection of the execution of the at least one application.
