Head mountable display

摘要

A head-mountable display comprises a frame configured to be mounted on a user's head. The frame defines left and right-hand eye display positions that are positioned in front of the respective eyes of the user. A left-hand display element is mounted with respect to the left-hand eye display position, and is operable to provide an image from a left-hand video signal to the user's left eye. A right-hand display element mounted with respect to the right-hand eye display position, and is operable to provide an image from a right-hand video signal to the user's right eye. At least one light emitting element is positioned on a right-hand periphery of the left-hand display element and at least one light emitting element is positioned on a left-hand periphery of the right-hand display element. A controller controls light emitted by the light emitting elements dependent upon the video signals to reduce luning.

1. A head-mountable display apparatus comprising:
a frame configured to be mounted on a user's head, the frame defining a left-hand eye display position and a right-hand eye display position which, when in use, are positioned in front of the respective eye of the user; a left-hand display element mounted with respect to the left-hand eye display position, the left-hand display element being operable to provide an image from a left-hand video signal to the left-hand eye of the user; a right-hand display element mounted with respect to the right-hand eye display position, the right-hand display element being operable to provide an image from a right-hand video signal to the right-hand eye of the user; at least one light emitting element positioned adjacent a right-hand periphery of the left-hand display element; at least one light emitting element positioned adjacent a left-hand periphery of the right-hand display element; and a controller operable to control light emitted by the light emitting elements dependent upon the video signals to mitigate luning, in which the light emitted by the at least one light emitting element on the left-hand display element is dependent upon image content of the right-hand image, and the light emitted by the at least one light emitting element on the right-hand display element is dependent upon the image content of the left-hand image respectively.
