Abstract: In embodiments of an imaging structure with embedded light sources, an imaging structure includes a silicon backplane with a driver pad array. The embedded light sources are formed on the driver pad array in an emitter material layer, and the embedded light sources can be individually controlled at the driver pad array to generate and emit light. A conductive material layer over the embedded light sources forms a p-n junction between the emitter material layer and the conductive material layer. Micro lens optics can be positioned over the conductive material layer to direct the light that is emitted from the embedded light sources. Further, the micro lens optics may be implemented as parabolic optics to concentrate the light that is emitted from the embedded light sources.

Abstract: A computer input device includes a light guide that illuminates a target area for imaging so as to permit tracking relative motion of a surface. The light guide also directs light to a window that is externally visible to a user of the device when the device rests upon a supporting surface. In one form, the light guide includes an entrance surface that receives light from a light source, together with two separated channels. The light guide directs a portion of the light incident upon the entrance surface through a first channel to the target area. The light guide further directs a portion of the incident light through a second channel so as to illuminate the window.

Abstract: A scrolling apparatus is disclosed that includes a rotatable scroll wheel and a sensor assembly coupled mechanically through a flexible cable. The sensor assembly has an encoder wheel that rotates in response to rotation of the scroll wheel. The rotational axis of the encoder wheel is axially displaced from the rotational axis of scroll wheel, and the diameter of the encoder wheel may be greater than the diameter of a conventional encoder wheel. The differences in diameter of the scroll wheel and encoder wheel may be utilized to provide the scrolling apparatus with relatively high resolution. In addition, the flexible cable permits the scroll wheel to be mounted within a tilting mechanism.
