Abstract:
1. A self-correcting deformable display, comprising: a deformable display comprising at least a first pixel and a second pixel; and an array of strain sensors incorporated into the deformable display, wherein the array of strain sensors is configured to detect a distortion between the at least first pixel and the second pixel and to provide a datum regarding the distortion, wherein the deformable display is configured to compensate for a displacement of the at least first pixel or the second pixel by calibration of a pixel intensity of the at least first pixel or the second pixel, based on the displacement, and configured to display an adjusted pixel intensity of the at least first pixel or the second pixel in a compensated display image, wherein the array of strain sensors is configured to be in communication with a processor that generates a distortion map from a collection of strain values from the array of strain sensors, wherein a density of strain sensors in the array of strain sensors is about 1/10 a density of pixels in the deformable display and wherein the distortion map represents a distortion of an original image given a distortion to the deformable display, and wherein the distortion map is usable to adjust an appearance of the compensated display image in response to distortion of the deformable display.
