Abstract

A display device or a display system with which a viewer can feel a strong or natural stereoscopic effect in a two-dimensional image and is less likely to be fatigued is provided. The display system includes a display portion, a detection portion, and a control portion. The display portion is flexible. The detection portion is configured to detect the conditions of a viewer's eye to obtain detection information and to supply the detection information to the control portion. The control portion is configured to extract information on the viewer's fatigue from the detection information and to change the curvature of the display portion on the basis of the information on the viewer's fatigue. The central angle of the curved surface of the display portion is preferably greater than or equal to 20° and less than 90°.

Claims (61)

1. A display system comprising:

a display portion;

a detection portion; and

a control portion,

wherein the display portion is flexible,

wherein the detection portion is configured to detect a condition of a viewer's eye to obtain detection information and to supply the detection information to the control portion,

wherein the control portion is configured to extract information on the viewer's fatigue from the detection information and to change a degree of bending of the display portion so that the degree of bending of the display portion becomes smaller when the viewer's fatigue is severe, and

wherein a central angle of the display portion is smaller than or equal to 42° after the degree of bending is changed.

2. An electronic device comprising:

the display system according to claim 1 ; and

at least one of an antenna, a battery, a housing, a speaker, a microphone, an operation switch, and an operation button.

3. The display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the detection portion comprises a camera.

4. The display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the detection portion includes a light source for emitting infrared light and a light-receiving portion for detecting the infrared light reflected from a viewer's eyeball.

5. The display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control portion uses information comprising a length of screen gazing time and the number of times of blinking per unit time of the viewer when extracting the information on the viewer's fatigue.

6. The display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the detection information includes a movement of an eyeball, color or shape of a white of the viewer's eye, an iris, or a pupil, or a movement of an eyelid.

7. The display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display portion is provided in an automobile, and

wherein the display portion is a see-through device.

8. A display system comprising:

a display portion;

a detection portion; and

a control portion,

wherein the display portion is flexible,

wherein the detection portion is configured to detect a condition of a viewer's eye to obtain a frequency of blinking and to supply the frequency of blinking to the control portion,

wherein the control portion is configured to extract information on the viewer's fatigue from the frequency of blinking and to change a degree of bending of the display portion so that the degree of bending of the display portion becomes smaller when the viewer's fatigue is severe, and

wherein a central angle of the display portion is smaller than or equal to 42° after the degree of bending is changed.

9. The display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the detection portion comprises a camera.

10. The display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the detection portion includes a light source for emitting infrared light and a light-receiving portion for detecting the infrared light reflected from a viewer's eyeball.

11. The display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the detection information includes a movement of an eyeball, color or shape of a white of the viewer's eye, an iris, or a pupil, or a movement of an eyelid.

12. The display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the display portion is provided in an automobile, and

wherein the display portion is a see-through device.

13. A display system comprising:

a display portion;

a detection portion; and

a control portion,

wherein the display portion is flexible,

wherein the detection portion is configured to detect a condition of a viewer's eye to obtain detection information and to supply the detection information to the control portion,

wherein the control portion is configured to extract information on the viewer's fatigue from the detection information and to change a degree of bending of the display portion so that the degree of bending of the display portion becomes smaller when the viewer is kept fatigued for a certain period, and

wherein a central angle of the display portion is smaller than or equal to 42° after the degree of bending is changed.

14. An electronic device comprising:

the display system according to claim 13 ; and

at least one of an antenna, a battery, a housing, a speaker, a microphone, an operation switch, and an operation button.

15. The display system according to claim 13 ,

wherein the detection portion comprises a camera.

16. The display system according to claim 13 ,

wherein the detection portion includes a light source for emitting infrared light and a light-receiving portion for detecting the infrared light reflected from a viewer's eyeball.

17. The display system according to claim 13 ,

wherein the control portion uses information comprising a length of screen gazing time and the number of times of blinking per unit time of the viewer when extracting the information on the viewer's fatigue.

18. The display system according to claim 13 ,

wherein the detection information includes a movement of an eyeball, color or shape of a white of the viewer's eye, an iris, or a pupil, or a movement of an eyelid.

19. The display system according to claim 13 ,

wherein the display portion is provided in an automobile, and

wherein the display portion is a see-through device.
