Abstract: An inductive cooktop includes a top plate that has an upper surface that supports a cookware object. An induction coil is disposed below the top plate and is operable to generate an electromagnetic field that is configured to heat the cookware object. A display, such as an OLED display, is disposed between the inductive coil and the top plate and operates to emit light through the top plate, such as to display information that is visible at the upper surface of top plate. A transparent thermal insulator is provided to prevent the cookware object from heating the display above a threshold temperature. The transparent thermal insulator may include a silica aerogel material, which may be disposed between an upper glass panel and a lower glass panel.

Abstract: An inductive cooktop includes a transparent panel that supports a cookware object. An electrically actuated panel, such as a display panel, is disposed below the transparent panel. The electrically actuated panel includes two sets of lines, such as data and scan lines, disposed orthogonal to each other to form a two-dimensional matrix that is configured to operate associated elements with an addressing scheme. An array of induction coils are disposed below the electrically actuated panel that are each operable to generate an electromagnetic field that inductively couples with the cookware object supported at the transparent panel. The induction coils are operable to generate an electromagnetic field with a flux direction in general parallel alignment with one set of lines, such as the data lines, to prevent the electromagnetic field from inducing a voltage on the lines.

Abstract: A system provides an elongated display that has a touchscreen with a multi-user interactive display area that is accessible simultaneously by at least two users. A sensor may monitor users at or near the interactive display area of the touchscreen, such as to transmit a sensor signal that identifies the presence of a user, which may be used to determine a location of the user relative to the elongated display. A characteristic of the user may also be identified with a sensor, where the characteristic may correspond with a user profile. The elongated display may display an image at a section of the interactive display area near the location of the user, where the image corresponds with a preselected setting of the user profile.

Abstract: A system for improving a display coupled to an inductive cooktop includes an induction coil and an electrically-actuated display (EAD) assembly. The induction coil includes a magnetic field. The EAD assembly is disposed on the induction coil and includes a frontplate adjacent to the induction coil and a thin film transistor (TFT) array backplane opposite the frontplane. The TFT array backplane includes a scan line with some degree of orthogonality to the magnetic field and a data line with some degree of parallelism to the magnetic field. The scan line and the data line are configured to activate a display pixel corresponding to the EAD assembly. One or more ground lines of the EAD assembly have some degree of parallelism to the magnetic field of the induction coil.

Abstract: An inductive cooktop system includes a top plate that has a top surface for supporting a cookware object. A display is disposed below the top plate, and induction coils are arranged in a matrix and disposed vertically below the display. The induction coils are each operable to generate a magnetic field that partially extends above the top surface of the top plate to couple with the cookware object. A control system receives an initial input indicating a position of the cookware object on the top surface of the top plate. Data processing hardware of the control system then determines the pixels of the display corresponding to the indicated position from the input. The control system then generates a graphic at the indicated position for the cookware object by illuminating the plurality of pixels of the display.
