  • Publication number: 20160131948
    Abstract: An LCD panel applied to a curved screen includes display sections and a black matrix layer. The black matrix layer is used for adjusting an area of the primary sub-pixel and an area of the secondary sub-pixel in each of display section, so that an area ratio of the secondary sub-pixel to the primary sub-pixel in the first display section equals to an area ratio of the secondary sub-pixel to the primary sub-pixel in the central display section, an area ratio of the secondary sub-pixel to the primary sub-pixel in the second display section is greater than that of the secondary sub-pixel to the primary sub-pixel in the first display section, an area of the primary sub-pixel in the central display section is lower than that of the primary sub-pixel in the first display section. Therefore, brightness and quality of the curved screen on image display are improved.

  • Publication number: 20160116811
    Abstract: An LCD panel applied to a curved screen includes display sections, each of which includes pixel units. Each pixel unit includes a primary sub-pixel, a secondary sub-pixel, a common electrode, and a sharing capacitance sheet. An area of the sharing capacitance of each display section is adjusted using a sharing capacitance sheet. So a ratio of the charging voltage on the secondary sub-pixel to the charging voltage on the primary sub-pixel in the central display section is between the ratio of the charging voltage on the secondary sub-pixel to the charging voltage on the primary sub-pixel in the first display section and the ratio of the charging voltage on the secondary sub-pixel to the charging voltage on the primary sub-pixel in the second display section. Therefore, the brightness of the curved screen on display is improved. The quality of the curved screen on image display is improved as well.

  • Patent number: 9245280
    Abstract: Effectiveness of video content is predicted using an automated or semi-automated analysis process operating on a computer. Video content is analyzed using image and audio data processing to assign a collection of attributes to a video ad. The collection of attributes is correlated to a historical effectiveness (e.g., click-thru rate) of past video ads in the same or similar attribute space to obtain predicted ad effectiveness. Differences between the collection of attributes and historical attribute spaces of greater effectiveness may also be determined and reported in the form of suggestions for improving the effectiveness of the ad.
