    Abstract: An image compensating apparatus for portraying a seamless display in a display comprising multiple screens includes a light incident surface set on the display region, a light emitting surface parallel to the light incident surface, and a plurality of light guiding channels parallel to each other. The display panel includes display and non-display regions, the non-display region surrounding a periphery of the display region. The light guiding channels interconnect with the light incident surface and the light emitting surface, and form angles with the light incident surface. A projection of each of the light guiding channels on the light incident surface is parallel to a diagonal line of the light incident surface. Viewed perpendicular to the light incident surface, the light guiding channel transposes an image displayable on the display region along a first direction and a second direction for covering at least part of the non-display region.
