  • Publication number: 20230368737
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and corresponding systems and devices for compensating burn-in in an electronic display. When the electronic display is divided into multiple regions, each region can have a separate compensation parameter associated with it. The compensation parameter can be determined through estimating pixel degradation based on how the region was used over the lifetime of the electronic display, for instance, the brightness of images previously displayed in the region. Although each region may have its own compensation parameter, burn-in compensation can be performed by selecting one compensation parameter from among a set of stored parameters for use as a global compensation parameter applied across all the display pixels, i.e., the entire display area. The global compensation parameter can be selected based on which region a user is looking at. Accordingly, a display system can include or be coupled to an eye-tracking unit that monitors eye movement.
