  • Patent number: 9972281
    Abstract: A method of compensating an image to be display on a display panel is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes receiving a first input image and adjusting a contrast sensitivity of the first input image. The method also includes calculating a first derivative of luminance of a pixel included in the adjusted image, calculating a second derivative of the luminance of the pixel, and accumulating the first and second derivatives. The method further includes determining a burn-in causing boundary based at least in part on the accumulated first and second derivatives, receiving a second input image, and comparing the burn-in causing boundary to a boundary of the second input image to determine whether to apply burn-in compensation. The method finally includes compensating a portion of the second input image corresponding to the burn-in causing boundary based at least in part on an unsharpening filter.

  • Patent number: 9675152
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic security bag controlled by a mobile phone, whereby the bag performs Bluetooth communication with the mobile phone of a person who carries the bag, sounds an alarm when the Bluetooth communication is disconnected (when not in a paring mode), and gives an electric shock to an authorized person who touches the bag by allowing high-voltage current applied from power supply of the security bag to flow entirely in the bag. The bag providing a control method through paring with the mobile phone can safely manage important information assets by remotely controlling the alarm of the bag and locking/unlocking thereof. Further, when separated a predetermined distance from a manager, the security bag transmits a warning signal to the mobile phone, sounds the alarm of the bag, and generates high-voltage current on the bag when forcibly opened, thereby preventing security documents from being stolen.

  • Publication number: 20170025058
    Abstract: An image display system includes a camera part and an image display part. The image display part includes a user analyzer, a gamma corrector, a gamma voltage generator, and a display panel. The camera part takes a picture of a user and generates a user image signal. The user analyzer calculates the user's viewing direction based on the user image signal. The gamma corrector generates a correction gamma value based on the viewing direction. The gamma voltage generator generates a gamma voltage based on the correction gamma value, and the display panel displays an image corresponding to the gamma voltage. Accordingly, the image display system provides the image having an optimized gamma curve to the user in real time even without a separate input from the user.
