Abstract:
An electronic device includes one or more processors and a display that is flexible. A louvered filter, which can be optionally configured in an electronic device attachment, as a first louvered filter and a second louvered filter, or otherwise, is then disposed along the flexible display. When the flexible display is deformed by one or more bends, the one or more processors can present a first image through a first portion of the louvered filter and a second image through a second portion of the louvered filter to present stereoscopic content without the need of special glasses.
Abstract:
A display device includes a liquid crystal display operable to selectively transmit light. The display device also includes a switchable mirror that is operable to switch from a pellucid state to a reflective state. The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal layer disposed between a first substrate and a second substrate. To preserve color integrity, a color filter and a switchable mirror is also disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
Abstract:
An LCD includes a 2-D array of pixels including at least one transmissive light modulator including a first light modulation signal input, and at least one reflective light modulator including a second light modulation signal input, a processor configured to provide a plurality of images to a display driver; and a display driver configured to provide the plurality of images to the 2-D array of pixels, wherein the display driver provides a first image frame to the transmissive light modulator, wherein the display driver provides a second image frame to the reflective light modulator; wherein the display driver provides a first image frame to the transmissive light modulator, wherein the display driver provides a second image frame to the reflective light modulator, and wherein the first image frame is displayed by the transmissive light modulator at the same time the second image frame is displayed by the reflective light modulator.
Abstract:
An electronic device utilizes a method for displaying content on a display of the device during different device operating modes. According to one embodiment, the device (e.g., through its processing subsystem) determines whether it is in an active mode or a sleep mode. If the device is in an active mode, the device illuminates a first portion of the display to display content. On the other hand, if the device is in a sleep mode, the device illuminates a second, substantially lesser portion of the display to display content. In one embodiment, the device display includes a display panel and two disparate backlights positioned behind the display panel. The first backlight is operable to illuminate the first portion of the display panel and the second backlight is operable to illuminate the second portion of the display panel when each backlight is respectively activated by the device's processing subsystem.
Abstract:
A display (201) includes a light guide (314) defining a first major face (501), a second major face (502), and one or more edge surfaces (503,504). One or more light sources (315,316) are disposed along the one or more edge surfaces. A diffuser (313) is disposed adjacent to the first major face. A reflector (317) is disposed adjacent to the second major face. The second major face defines a plurality of convex protuberances (507) extending therefrom toward the reflector to direct light from the light guide to the reflector.
