  • Patent number: 10950159
    Abstract: An information display method and an information display system are provided. The information display method includes: capturing a background image of an information display area of the transparent display; using critical contrast values and color levels of the background image to calculate a display threshold; using the color levels of the background image and color levels of display information to calculate a recognition evaluation score; and determining whether the recognition evaluation score is greater than or equal to the display threshold. If the recognition evaluation score is greater than or equal to the display threshold, the display information is displayed in the information display area. If the recognition evaluation score is less than the display threshold, an optimized display parameter is calculated by using the display threshold, and optimized display information is displayed in the information display area of the transparent display.

  • Patent number: 10891917
    Abstract: A transparent display system including a display panel, a data acquisition module and a computation module is provided. The data acquisition is adapted to capture a field luminance of a field where the display panel is located and a display information luminance of display information of the display panel. The computation module determines whether a luminance contrast of the display information falls within a range from a lower boundary to an upper boundary, wherein the luminance contrast of the display information equals to the field luminance plus the display information luminance and then divided by the field luminance. If it is determined that the luminance contrast of the display information does not fall within the range from the lower boundary to the upper boundary, a luminance contrast optimization procedure is performed. An operation method of the transparent display system is also provided.
