摘要:
For a personal electronic device (PED) having a display, the display including a cover glass having a front surface and a back surface, the PED includes a driver circuit configured to send at least one signal to the display and an ambient light sensor (ALS). Each of the driver circuit and the ALS is disposed behind the back surface of the cover glass. The ALS and the driver circuit may reside on a single substrate, which is disposed adjacent to the back surface of the cover glass. The ALS may output signals to the driver circuit that are indicative of ambient light level and one or both of ambient light spectrum and ambient light direction. The driver circuit may be configured to automatically adjust, in response to the signals, one or both of a display color bias and a display luminescence.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, related to an electronic device having a display, a spectrum sensing arrangement, and a display controller. The spectrum sensing arrangement includes a photodiode, a first portion of the photodiode being configured to generate a first signal, the first signal being responsive to an intensity of ambient visible light, and a second portion of the photodiode being configured to generate a second signal, the second signal being representative of an intensity of ambient infrared light. The display controller, in communication with the spectrum sensing arrangement, makes a comparison of the first signal and the second signal and controls the display so as to dynamically adjust a color bias of the display responsive to the comparison.

Methods and devices to measure voltage margins of electromechanical devices are disclosed. The voltage margins are determined based on responses to test voltages which cause the devices to change states. State changes of the devices are detected by monitoring integrated current or charge used to drive the devices with the test voltages.

This disclosure provides implementations of electromechanical systems (EMS) piezoelectric resonator structures, transformers, devices, apparatus, systems, and related processes. In one aspect, a piezoelectric resonator structure includes a first conductive electrode layer, a second conductive electrode layer, and a piezoelectric layer arranged between the first and second conductive layers. In some implementations, the surface of the piezoelectric layer adjacent to the first conductive layer is separated from the first conductive layer by a first gap, and the surface of the piezoelectric layer adjacent to the second conductive layer is separated from the second conductive layer by a second gap. In some implementations, the resonator structure further includes an encapsulation layer arranged over the second conductive layer and providing physical support to the second conductive layer.
摘要:
Two-sided, back-to-back displays are formed by sealing the backplates of two displays against one another. Mechanical parameters of the backplates, e.g., stiffness and strength, do not meet the requirements for standalone one-sided displays which are otherwise similar to the two displays. However, when sealed against one another, the backplates reinforce each other to meet or exceed the requirements for both one-sided and two-sided displays. The presence of backplates on each of the constituent one-sided displays allows one or both of those displays to be individually tested, thereby increasing the production yield of the back-to-back displays. The display elements of the displays can comprise interferometric modulators.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for microspeaker devices. In one aspect, a microspeaker element may include a deformable dielectric membrane that spans a speaker cavity. The deformable dielectric membrane can include a piezoactuator and a dielectric layer. Upon application of a driving signal to the piezoactuator, the dielectric layer can deflect, producing sound. In some implementations, an array of microspeaker elements can be encapsulated between a glass substrate and a cover glass. Sound generated by the microspeaker elements can be emitted through a speaker grill formed in the cover glass.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for providing a gesture-responsive user interface for an electronic device. In one aspect, an apparatus or electronic device has an interactive display that provides an input/output (I/O) interface to a user of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a processor, a light emitting source and at least two light sensors. A secondary optical lens structures emitted light from the light emitting source into at least one lobe. Each light sensor outputs, to the processor, a signal representative of a characteristic of received light, where the received light results from scattering of the structured emitted light by an object. The processor effectuates the I/O interface by recognizing, from the output of the light sensors, an instance of a user gesture, and to control the interactive display and/or the apparatus in response to the user gesture.
