Abstract: Systems and methods for displays that have a moveable shutter formed on a substrate having an aperture. The shutter, in at least one position, is asymmetrically aligned over the aperture. The asymmetric alignment provides an overlap between shutter and the substrate on one side of the aperture that is larger than an overlap between the shutter and the substrate on another side of the aperture. Typically, the larger overlap increases the ability of the shutter to reduce light passing through the aperture when then shutter is the in the at least one position.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for selecting display operation modes for displaying content on a display device. The display device can utilize user selectable display operation modes for displaying content. Various display operation modes, based on various values of display parameters such as frame rate, color bit depth, maximum brightness level, color gamut, percentages of color gamut, white point, gamma, and the number of subframes or bit-planes per image frame can be presented, for example, to a user, for selection using a user interface. The user interface can be capable of providing the ability to select global display operation modes for all applications running on the display device or to assign display operation modes in-focus applications running on the display device. In some implementations, the display device can automatically select the appropriate display operation mode based, at least, on the content being displayed.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and apparatus for displaying images using hue-based frame-specific contributing colors (FSCCs). In one aspect, an input is configured to receive image data corresponding to a current image frame. Contributing color selection logic is configured, based on received image data, to obtain a set of FSCCs for use in conjunction with a set of frame-independent contributing colors (FICCs) to generate the current or a subsequent image frame on a display. The set of FSCCs are obtained from determining the dominant hues in the image frame. The image frame is displayed such that subframes associated with displaying the FSCCs have weights that are greater than the subframes associated with displaying the FICCs.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for displaying images. A display apparatus includes display elements formed on a transparent substrate. An elevated aperture layer (EAL) is fabricated over the display elements. An opposing substrate is coupled to the transparent substrate, with the display elements and the EAL positioned between the two substrates. To prevent the opposing substrate from coming into contact with the EAL and potentially damaging the EAL or the display elements, a spacer is built from the same materials used to form the display elements and the EAL. The spacer extends to a distance above the transparent substrate beyond upper surface of the EAL and encapsulates layers of polymer material used in creating a mold for the EAL.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for improving power efficiency of display devices. Control logic of a display device can use content adaptive backlight control (CABC) for displaying certain image frames with reduced illumination intensity. CABC can be used to determine a scaling factor for scaling up pixel values in an image frame and for scaling down the illumination intensity of a backlight used for illuminating the image frames. The control logic can determine a number of image subframes that have been rendered imperceptible to the human visual system (HVS) due to the reduced illumination intensity of the backlight, and refrain from displaying the determined number of image subframes. The control logic can utilize the additional time made available as a result of not displaying the determined number of subframes to further improve the power efficiency of the display device and/or improve image quality.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for generating images using dual-shutter shutter assemblies. Such shutter assemblies include two shutters that move over a common aperture to selectively obstruct the passage of light there through. In the closed position, portions of one of the shutters overlaps a portion of the other shutter to provide such light obstruction without the two shutters needing to come into contact.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for providing multiple dielectric coatings for a shutter assembly. The multiple dielectric coatings include an outer dielectric coating and one or more inner dielectric coatings. The outer dielectric coating has an electrical trap density that is lower than electrical trap densities of the one or more inner dielectric coatings. The lower electrical trap density reduces the amount of charge buildup over various surfaces of the shutter assembly. This reduction in charge buildup also reduces electrostatic forces that may cause incorrect operation of the shutter assembly.
