    Abstract: A display panel includes a first polarizer, two twisted nematic cells, a second polarizer, and a display. The first twisted nematic cell transfers light in response to a first control signal. In an off state, a polarity of the light is rotated in a first twist. In an on state, the polarity of the light is maintained. The second twisted nematic cell transfers the light in response to a second control signal. In the off state, a polarity of the light is rotated in a second twist. In the on state, the polarity of the light is maintained. The display generates an image in the light in response to a display signal. While the twisted nematic cells are in the off state, the image is viewable in a public viewing angle. While the twisted nematic cells are in the on state, the image is viewable in a private viewing angle.

    Abstract: A local-dimming display generally includes a light source configured to generate a backlight, a first display aligned with the light source and having multiple first pixels, wherein each first pixel is configured to selectively pass and block the backlight, and a second display aligned with the first display and having multiple second pixels. A particular pixel is controlled to pass the backlight. The particular pixel corresponds with an aligned pixel and multiple parallax pixels of the first pixels controlled at a first transmit level, and multiple neighboring pixels of the first pixels controlled at one or more second transmit levels. The one or more second transmit levels are less than or equal to the first transmit level. The first pixels cooperating at the first transmit level and the second transmit levels selectively presents the backlight to the second display with a declining intensity pattern in the neighboring pixels.

    Abstract: A floating-information display includes a first quarter-wave retarder disposed on a side of an optical plate. A reflective polarizer is disposed between the first quarter-wave retarder and the optical plate. A first display is configured to transmit a first image along a first axis through the first quarter-wave retarder to the reflective polarizer. The reflective polarizer redirects the first image along a second axis through the first quarter-wave retarder toward a viewer. The first image appears to the viewer to be oriented normal to the second axis and at a first location. A second display is configured to transmit a second image to the optical plate. The second image is transferred through the first quarter-wave retarder along the second axis toward the viewer. The second image appears to the viewer to be oriented normal to the second axis and at a second location.

    Abstract: A method of forming a curved, rigid display article includes providing a first substrate having a first initial geometry and a second substrate having a second initial geometry, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are bendable at room temperature. The method includes optically bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together with a layer of optical bonding material to form an initial workpiece having a geometry that matches one of the first initial geometry and the second initial geometry. The method also includes shaping the initial workpiece to form a shaped workpiece having a radius of curvature of at least 0.1 mm. The method also includes structurally bonding together the shaped workpiece and a curved frame that is not flexible and has a final radius of curvature of from 0.1 mm to 300 mm with an adhesive to thereby form the curved, rigid display article.

    Abstract: A display system includes at least one display unit, and a mirror array plate. The mirror array plate reflects light emitted from the display unit along a viewing path, and focuses the reflected light at a floating viewing plane positioned between the mirror array plate and a viewing location. The display system may include a micro-louver film disposed adjacent to the display unit that controls light dispersion of the emitted light from the display unit. The display system may include multiple display units arranged relative to the mirror array plate to present respective images on respective floating viewing planes to provide a three dimensional image.

    Abstract: A method for vehicle lane assignment includes identifying lane boundaries for one or more lanes of a road being traversed by the vehicle. The method also includes determining a center-line on a per lane basis for the one or more lanes. For a lane, the method uses the respective lane boundaries to determine the respective center-line of the lane. The method also includes determining a lane width on a per lane basis for the one or more lanes. For a lane, the method uses the respective lane boundaries to determine the respective lane width of the lane. The method also includes calculating a first probability that the vehicle is within a first lane of the one or more lanes using the center-line and the lane width corresponding to the first lane. The method also includes determining whether the first probability is greater than a threshold. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the first probability is greater than the threshold, assigning the vehicle to the first lane.
