摘要:
A display that includes energy sensors within the display itself is disclosed. An Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) can be made to operate both as a light emitter and as an energy detector. When forward biased with an appropriate driving signal, the OLED emits light via electroluminescence, which can be used to make a portion of an image on the display. In another mode, the OLED can detect energy by converting incoming photons or energy into an electrical signal by the photoelectric effect. By operating OLEDs in the display in both emissive and sensing modes, energy that shines on the display, such as from an outside source can be detected at the same time an image is shown. Additionally, a display including OLEDs can detect light energy generated by the display itself.

摘要:
A system including a first chip, a display controller and a copy device. The first chip includes a first memory. The display controller is configured to read a first frame from a second memory external to the first chip. The copy device is configured to copy the first frame from the second memory to the first memory while the display controller reads the first frame from the second memory. Subsequent to the copy device copying the first frame from the second memory to the first memory, the first frame is stored in both the first memory and the second memory.

An image capture system comprises an image input and processing unit. The image input obtains image information which is then passed to the processing unit. The processing unit is coupled to the image input for determining image metrics on the image information. The processing unit initiates a capture sequence when the image metrics meet a predetermined condition. The capture sequence may store one or more images, or it may indicate that one or more images have been detected. In one embodiment, the image input is a CMOS or CCD sensor.

An organic light emitting device display may be formed of at least two moisture impervious layers sealed to one another using an epoxy material having a desiccant formed within the epoxy material. Any moisture or other solvents that tend to penetrate into the region between the front and back plates of the display where the organic light emitting material resides, will be trapped by the desiccant within the filler material.
摘要:
A method including determining a first integration time for a first color channel and determining a second integration time for a second color channel, where the second integration time is shorter than the first integration time. Then, the second integration time is divided into a set of integration times. A first sensor is integrated over the first integration time; and, a second sensor is integrated over the set of integration times. An apparatus for performing the method.
摘要:
A method includes storing an analog indication of a terminal voltage of a pixel cell. A second indication of an incremental update to the terminal voltage is received, and the analog indication is used to modify the terminal voltage to reflect the incremental update. The pixel cell may form part of a display panel.
摘要:
A method and apparatus is described that is related to image response enhancement of image sensors. In an image sensor, a phosphor layer is placed between the incident photons and the image sensor in which the phosphor layer converts incident photons from a first wavelength to a second wavelength.
摘要:
An imaging apparatus that is configurable to operate in at least two modes. One mode is particularly suitable for still image capture, whereas the second mode is suitable for video image capture and other rapid frame rate applications. The image data in the second mode is smaller (lower resolution) than the image data obtained in the first mode. The reduction is accomplished by either digital scaling, cropping, or by a combination of optical scaling and selective readout of sensor signals. The simple digital scaling provides a fixed angular field of view for both modes of operation, while cropping alone gives a smaller field of view. Using the combination of optical scaling and selective sensor signal readout, however, provides a wider field of view for the second mode of operation while at the same time providing lower resolution images, thus improving frame rate in the second mode of operation. The embodiments can be used in a wide range of imaging applications, including digital cameras used for both still image capture and video.
摘要:
A spatial light modulator includes a plurality of spaced pixel elements. This gives rise to the possibility of reflections of light through inter-pixel gaps. These reflections may be reduced, improving the contrast, in some embodiments of the present invention, by providing a substrate beneath the pixel elements with a moth-eye like array of protrusions formed thereon. These protrusions tend to ameliorate the effects of inter-pixel light by causing multiple reflections which tend to dissipate such light.
