摘要:
A window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) including blind elements (120, 210, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 385, 390, 420, 430, 490) embedded within the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) and/or associated with the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510). The blind elements (120, 210, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 385, 390, 420, 430, 490) may be embedded at least partially in the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510). The blind elements (120, 210, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 385, 390, 420, 430, 490) may be positioned substantially perpendicular to a viewing surface of the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510). Each of the blind elements (120, 210, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 385, 390, 420, 430, 490) includes a display surface (150) that may include display elements (750, 760) positioned to be viewable through the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) such that if the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) is viewed from an angle offset from a normal viewing angle, the surface on each of the blind elements (750, 760) are together configured to provide a display image. A further layer (316, 318) may be associated with the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) and the blind elements (120, 210, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 385, 390, 420, 430, 490) may be sandwiched between the further layer (316, 318) and the window (110, 210, 310, 410, 510).
摘要:
A reflective display, comprising a plurality of pixels (10), each having a first electrode, a light-modifying layer (12), and a second electrode (3; 16) arranged to enable formation of an electric field in the light-modifying layer (12) through application of a voltage between the electrodes. The pixel (10) further includes an active portion (16) which is switchable between light-modifying states by means of said electric field, and an inactive portion (17). The inactive portion (17) is arranged for reflecting light so as to direct at least a fraction of incoming light (20) impinging on the inactive portion (17) towards the active portion (16). As a result, a contrast ratio of the reflective display is improved, since light is now directed from the inactive portion towards the active portion and thus contributes to the displayed image as observed by a viewer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a display (10) comprising a vertical stack of at least two different color absorbing layers (14) of pixels (18). The display is characterized in that the pixel resolution of at least two of the layers is different. The present invention also relates to a display system (50) comprising such a display and a method for controlling such a display.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a display device, intended to display different images in different angular regions in front of the display, i.e. a first image to the right and a second image to the left. The display device therefore comprises an imaging layer and a light directing layer, comprising e.g. cylindrical lenses. In order to avoid cross-talk close to where the different regions intersect, the imaging layer comprises liquid crystal cells, which, close to the normal direction of the imaging layer have low contrast and/or brightness. This substantially eliminates cross-talk between the two displayed images.
摘要:
A method is provided of driving an electronic device comprising an array of device elements, each device element comprising particles which are moved to control a device element state, and each device element comprising a collector electrode, and an output electrode. The method comprises: in a reset phase, applying a first set of control signals to control the device to move the particles to the a reset electrode; and in an addressing phase, applying a second set of control signals to control the device to move the particles from the reset electrode such that a desired number of particles are at the output electrode. The second set of control signals comprises a pulse waveform oscillating between first and second voltages in which the first voltage is for attracting the particles to the reset electrode and the second voltage is for attracting the particles from the reset electrode to the output electrode, and wherein the duty cycle of the pulse waveform determines the proportion of particles transferred to the output electrode in the addressing phase. This control method provides well-controlled packets of particles which are collected in a vortex at the reset electrode before being passed on, in part, towards the output electrode (for example via the gate electrode).
摘要:
An electrophoretic display device is driven by carrying out a first display addressing cycle (FIG. 3A), in which the display is addressed as a first set of row groups (52), the same column data set being applied to each row of the row group simultaneously. The number of row groups (52) is less than the number of rows (50), such that at least one row group comprises a plurality of rows. At least one further display addressing cycle (FIG. 3B) addresses all rows of the display with independent image data. This method addresses groups of rows together using the same column data, and thereby reduces the addressing time. The image is presented after the first addressing cycle as a low resolution image, in particular with low vertical resolution. The subsequent addressing cycles then progressively improve the image quality to the final desired image.
摘要:
A display device comprising a plurality of pixels (200), each pixel comprising charged particles (28) that are movable between storage (20) and active (24) regions of the pixel under the influence of an electric field. The number of charged particles (28) within the active region (24) determines the optical appearance of the pixel, and the storage region (20) is used for storing charged particles (28) away from the active region (24). Each pixel (200) comprises enough charged particles to saturate both the storage and active regions, such that moving additional charged particles to those regions does not significantly affect the optical appearances of those regions. Hence there are always enough charged particles (28) available within the pixel (200) to saturate the active region (24), and the storage region (20) may be saturated even when the active region (24) is saturated.

A transflective display (2) in e.g. the lid of a mobile display is used in the reflective mode in one viewing direction (frontlight) and in the transmissive mode in the other direction (backlight) when the lid is open.
