Motion-induced blurring to reduce scintillations and an appearance of a boundary separating regions of a display

Abstract

This document describes techniques and devices for motion-induced blurring to reduce an appearance of a boundary separating regions of a display. Sensors (e.g., cameras, microphones, biometric sensors, ambient light sensors, radar sensors, and so forth) may be placed at least partially underneath regions of a display. Placing a sensor underneath a region of a display, however, often requires reduced pixel-density (e.g., relatively low resolution), which can cause scintillations of the content as it moves on the display. The techniques described herein address some undesirable effects of this reduced pixel-density by blurring content moving within regions of low resolution. Furthermore, the techniques can adjust an amount of blurring based on a speed of the moving content. Thus, when the display includes regions of differing resolutions, the techniques described herein can blur the moving content to reduce the appearance of a boundary separating these regions of differing resolutions.
