Transparent display apparatus
First Claim
1. A transparent display apparatus, comprising:
- a transparent display unit, displaying an image frame according to a display data signal and a transparency control signal; and
a controller, coupled to the transparent display unit, receiving the display data signal and the transparency control signal, determining a first gradation of the image frame within an interval from a transparent state to a white state according to the display data signal, determining a second gradation of the image frame within an interval from a black state to the transparent state according to the transparency control signal, controlling the transparent display unit to display the image frame according to the first gradation and the second gradation, and adjusting a transparency of the image frame according to a signal strength of the transparency control signal.

Abstract
A transparent display apparatus is provided. The transparent display apparatus includes a transparent display unit and a controller. The transparent display unit displays an image frame according to a display data signal and a transparency control signal. The controller receives the display data signal and the transparency control signal, determines a first gradation and a second gradation according to the display data signal and the transparency control signal respectively, and controls the transparent display unit to display the image frame according to the first and second gradations. The first and second gradations are respectively within an interval between two of three display states including a transparent state, a black state and a white state, such that a first and second display states determined based on the first and second gradations may cover all the display effects of the transparent state, the black state and the white state.
