摘要:
In embodiments of a transparent display assembly, a display device includes a display panel system that is located between a first display surface and a second display surface, and the display panel system displays an image. The image is viewable through the first display surface and through the second display surface, where the second display surface and the first display surface are viewable from opposite sides of the display device. The display device also includes a multi-mode panel located between the first display surface and the second display surface. The multi-mode panel is operable to permit the image being viewable through the first and second display surfaces, and further operable to prevent the image from being viewable through the first display surface or the second display surface.

An electronic device, such as a hand-held portable computer, is provided with capability to operate an application during a low power mode. During the low power mode, portions of hardware, software, services, and/or other components of the portable computer that are not necessary to the operation of the application is suspended or otherwise deactivated. As each task is performed by the application, the components that are no longer needed for subsequent tasks to be performed by the application are also deactivated and reactivated as needed. The deactivation can be performed in sequence from the highest-level components to the lowest-level components to ensure that components that are needed by other components are not prematurely deactivated. A specific set of events transitions the portable computer out of the low power mode.

A hand-held portable computer is provided with a control wheel to accelerate navigation and selection that is otherwise difficult due to the small form factor of the portable computer. The wheel is turned in a first or in a second direction to scroll through an on-screen menu. The wheel is pressed to select a particular item from the on-screen menu for execution. Context-sensitivity is provided in that the underlying software determines which menu to display or command to execute, in response to dialing or clicking the wheel, based on which application and pane are currently active and based on which item in the pane is currently selected. User-configurability and extensibility to additional applications are provided, without modification of the underlying software application code.

An instruction processor suitable for use in a reduced instruction-set computer employs an instruction pipeline which performs conditional branching in a single processor cycle. The processor treats a branch condition as a normal instruction operand rather than a special case within a separate condition code register. The condition bit and the branch target address determine which instruction is to be fetched, the branch not taking effect until the next-following instruction is executed. In this manner, no replacement of the instruction which physically follows the branch instruction in the pipeline need be made, and the branch occurs within the single cycle of the pipeline allocated to it. A simple circuit implements this delayed-branch method. A computer incorporating the processor readily executes special-handling techniques for calls on subroutine, interrupts and traps.

In embodiments of imaging structure emitter configurations, 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. The embedded light sources are configured in multiple rows for scanning by an imaging unit to generate a scanned image for display.

In embodiments of imaging structure color conversion, an imaging structure includes a silicon backplane with a driver pad array. An embedded light source is formed on the driver pad array in an emitter material layer, and the embedded light source emits light in a first color. A conductive material layer over the embedded light source forms a p-n junction between the emitter material layer and the conductive material layer. A color conversion layer can then convert a portion of the first color to at least a second color. Further, micro lens optics can be implemented to direct the light that is emitted through the color conversion layer.

Various technologies are applied to focus audio received from a plurality of microphones of a mobile device. A camera can be used to portray a scene, and a selection within the scene can focus audio to a desired audio focus region. Techniques can account for movement of the mobile device or an object being tracked. Pre-computed audio filters can be used to customize the audio focus process to account for a particular mobile device geometry.

One embodiment provides a method for controlling a virtual depth of field perceived by a wearer of a see-thru display device. The method includes estimating the ocular depth of field of the wearer and projecting virtual imagery with a specified amount of blur. The amount of blur is determined as a function of the ocular depth of field. Another embodiment provides a method for controlling an ocular depth of field of a wearer of a see-thru display device. This method includes computing a target value for the depth of field and increasing the pixel brightness of the virtual imagery presented to the wearer. The increase in pixel brightness contracts the wearer's pupils and thereby deepens the depth of field to the target value.

In embodiments of mixed sequential color display, a light source sequentially generates different colors of light in a timed sequence. A display panel is implemented with multiple sub-pixel combinations, where each pixel of the display panel is a combination of sub-pixels that emit a color based on a color of the light that illuminates a sub-pixel combination. The emitted color from a sub-pixel combination is generated as a product of the color of the light and a combination of sub-pixel colors (to include clear and/or colored sub-pixels). The clear and/or different colored sub-pixels in a sub-pixel combination are a spatial aspect of the emitted color, and the sequentially generated different colors of light are a temporal aspect of the emitted color. The pixel combination and the light source together enhance the luminescence of the emitted color over the chrominescence of the emitted color.
