Am I correct that homomorphic encryption will solve the DRM problem, in the sense that it will be mathematically proven (in the cryptographic sense) to be impossible to bypass?

Of course, you'll still be able to cam-record the actual output, or steal the image from the TFT/OLED electronics, but no easy bypass.

You are wrong. An encryption, any encryption, needs a key for decryption process. If the client is given that key then it can decrypt and rip the content. If the client is not given the key then how will they legally watch it since they paid for the content anyway?

As a rule of thumb, anything that was made by humans can be unmade by humans. All you can do is make the pirate life harder, but never impossible.
