Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to provide a hybrid imaging display. An array of pixel units is formed. Each pixel unit has emissive and reflective sub-pixels. A sensor senses ambient light condition to generate a sense signal. A drive circuit generates driving signals to drive the array of pixel units according to the sense signal such that the emissive and reflective sub-pixels are switched in a mutually exclusive manner.
Abstract:
A method and system to show information on a display while reducing power consumption of the display includes using a color cylinder to filter light from a light source. The color cylinder is to rotate around the light source to enable different primary color light to be delivered to a display system in a time-domain sequence. Frames are shown on the display in multiple sub-frames. Each sub-frame is associated with a primary color and is shown in synchronization with the same primary color being displayed.
Abstract:
Apparatus and systems, as well as methods and articles, may operate to display image information from one side of a light-emitting material layer disposed between a pair of non-opaque electrodes. The image information may be displayed through a transparent substrate, perhaps adjacent a conductive silicon layer, adjacent one of the electrodes. The image information may also be displayed substantially simultaneously from the other side of the light emitting material layer.
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a device including a first material associated with a controllable refractive index, a second material associated with a first refractive index, and a third material disposed between the first material and the second material, the third material being substantially transparent to a plurality of visible light wavelengths and being associated with a second refractive index greater than the first refractive index. Devices according to some embodiments may be employed as a display in a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant, a minicomputer, a projection television, a front projector, etc.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of a method, processing system and computer system are described for sparse updating of displays. The graphics system includes a processing system, which has a video decoder to operate with a display controller. The video decoder and/or display controller may include logic for shutting down portions of the graphics system and for sending reduced video data to a display. In some embodiments, the graphics system sends signals to shut down portions of the display. In some embodiments, parts of the graphics system, computer system and display are able to shut down when there is not a difference in the video data to be sent to the display. In some embodiments, the amount of video data to be sent to the display is reduced during encoding and/or decoding by only sending the video data which is different. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract:
In some embodiments, an electronic apparatus comprises a display assembly, a printed circuit board comprising a display driver integrated circuit, and at least one structure to alter a resonance frequency characteristic of at least one of the display assembly or the printed circuit board. Other embodiments may be disclosed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in graphical displays is described. A display may includes decision logic to determine if a first pixel of the display will undergo a state transition, and if so, charge sharing switch logic switches the first pixel to a common bus for charge sharing with other pixels connected to the common bus. The pixels that are connected to the common bus share the voltage of the common bus. The pixels are then disconnected from the common bus and connected to the pixel driver. Other embodiments may be described.
