[Update] Lg Files Patent For A Vr Display That Eliminates The Screen-Door Effect

Building a amend VR experience.

LG thinks it has a solution for the screen-door trial that is mutual amid today's VR headsets, as well as it wants to patent the technology. Interestingly LG's solution isn't to throw to a greater extent than pixels at the viewer.
The patent, which was published concluding calendar week as well as noticed yesteryear UploadVR, describes a "light diffusion member" that sits betwixt the display panel as well as lenses.
"In the display for virtual reality, a calorie-free diffusion member, which diffuses calorie-free emitted from a light-transmitting expanse of a display panel to a light-blocking expanse of the display panel, is interposed betwixt the display panel as well as an optical lens, whereby a user who views an icon displayed on the display panel at a really closed seat does non perceive the light-blocking area, which improves the icon character of the display," LG explains.
It remains to travel seen how effective this would be, assuming it is something LG goes frontwards with. Other headset makers convey toyed alongside higher resolution displays to solve the screen-door issue. Pimax, for example, is seeking crowdfunding for a VR headset that contains 2 2160x1200 displays (one per eyball), which it's billing every bit the world's offset 8K VR headset. One of the claims is that the outpouring inwards resolution (versus headsets similar the Oculus Rift as well as HTC Vive) fills the gaps betwixt pixels that resultant inwards a screen-door image.
"Our finish is to create an intuitive VR without the shade of the headset, as well as abrupt plenty that you lot won't travel disturbed yesteryear pixels," Pimax says.
It's worth mentioning that LG is working on a Steam VR headset. It was lately spotted at a VR festival inwards Korea.

The headset is similar to the Rift as well as Vive—it has 2 1440x1280 OLED panels, a 90Hz refresh rate, as well as a 110-degree acre of sentiment (FOV). Implementing its patented engineering could travel ane means of separating its headset from the competition.
