Upcoming Smartphone Technology Part 3 – Adaptive Displays
In the previous parts of this series, we have talked about VPS Indoor Navigation and Augmented Reality Apps.
However, the innovation knows no end and in the coming days, various smartphone technologies would be arriving to capture the imagination of users. Today in the third article of this series, we will talk about Adaptive displays.
What are Adaptive Displays and what can it do?
Adaptive Displays, which are also known as variable refresh displays, might be the Ultimate Selling Point (USP) of various smart-devices in near future.
Sometimes, there can be issues due to device malfunction like device getting hanged or frequent screen flickering.
When the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) output is synced to a display’s refresh rate, frame rate becomes more consistent and helps to avoid such malfunctions. There are various benefits for mobile. Higher refresh rates result in smoother animations and more responsive User Interface (UI) elements. This also improves the fluidity of games and video.
Plus, it saves battery life by reducing the display refresh rate when the UI is static, as the user does not need to update pixels frequently.
Importance of Adaptive Displays
Today all major smartphone brands are introducing adaptive display in their devices.
Display performance of a smartphone is determined by the quality of every picture being viewed by the user on a smartphone. Adaptive Display includes higher peak brightness (with advanced screen visibility), readability in high ambient light and higher display power efficiency.
The quality of a smartphone display is determined on the basis of Screen Reflections, Colors, Intensities, Viewing Angles, Brightness, Contrast, Display Power and OLED Spectra.
Adaptive Display provides real-time adaptive processing for adjusting images and videos. It also delivers significantly higher Color Saturation which can be different on smartphones and tablets.
What does adaptive Displays provide?
Usually, mobile displays are used under the relatively bright ambient light, which fades the image colors and contrast. As a result, picture quality gets reduced it makes it harder to view or read the screen. Adaptive display offers a combination of high screen Brightness and low screen Reflectance which makes the device usable in high ambient light.
Benefits of Adaptive Displays
- Users can read without straining their eyes:
From news to social media updates, users of smartphones and tablets read a lot on their phone every day. Adaptive Display can help users to read without straining their eyes by adjusting the brightness level to an optimal level as big screen of phone alone is not enough. - Immersive viewing experience while watching videos:
Adaptive Displays offer HD experience and better picture quality when users watch videos on their devices. - Ease of online tasks:
To make a purchase on Amazon, phones with Adaptive Display help users to zoom pictures of product and read the webpages with clarity. - Advanced games are more fun with Adaptive Display:
Today, there are various graphics-intensive games like WWE Immortals, Star Wars and Game of Thrones which users play on mobile devices. These games feature complicated console movements, customizable characters, detailed environments, realistic lighting effects and much more. All credit goes to display related features of a device. Devices with Adaptive display consist of self-emitting diodes which allow for faster in-display reaction speed while playing games or watching movies. Users get the best view of their gameplay.
