Abstract:
A display for displaying images that includes a transreflective electrowetting layer operable to a transparent-state where light passes through the transreflective electrowetting layer and a reflective-state where light is reflected by the transreflective electrowetting layer; a non-reflective layer underlying the transreflective electrowetting layer; and an emissive layer proximate to the transreflective electrowetting layer. The display combines light emitting elements such as OLED's with transreflective electrowetting elements to provide a display that can operate in high ambient light conditions without undesirably high power dissipation by the OLED's, and can operate under low ambient light or no ambient light conditions.
Abstract:
A display device (10) built on an insulating substrate (12) suitable for processing on both sides that includes a plurality of conductive through-holes (20) through the substrate (12). One side is reserved for a high-density array (14) of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The OLEDs can be high-density because the electrical connections for the OLEDs are on the other side of the substrate (12) and interconnected via the conductive through-holes (20). The cathode sides (26) of the OLEDs are interconnected by a light transmitting layer (28) overlaying the cathode side that is electrical conductive. On the side of the substrate (12) opposite the OLEDs is an array of anode contacts (32) configured to form an electrical contact with a driver circuit (34).
Abstract:
A dual view display system (10) that displays two different images in different directions (16) using a single display device (40). The dual view display (11) includes a first optical element (46) overlaying a first portion of the pixels (42) and configured to direct light emitted from the first portion of the pixels (42) toward a first direction (16), a second optical element (48) overlaying a second portion of the pixels (42) and configured to direct light emitted from the second portion of the pixels (42) toward a second direction (20) distinct from the first direction (16), and an optical barrier (50) arranged between the first optical element (46) and the second optical element (48) effective to prevent light from propagating therebetween.
Abstract:
A system and method to display a plurality of different images at multiple distinct locations using a single image projector and an image propagation control means to control a propagation pathway from the projector to a display at each location.
Abstract:
A dual view display system (10) that includes a display device (12) and a first louver device (28). The display device (12) is configured to display a first image (24) at a display location (22) to a first person (14) at a first location (32) and display a second image (26) at the display location (22) to a second person (18) at a second location (34). The first louver device (28) configured to substantially restrict a first field of view (36) of the first image (24) to the first person (14). The system (10) may also include a second louver device (30) configured to substantially restrict a second field of view (36) of the second image (26) to the second person (18). Such an arrangement restricts the fields of view so that, for example, a vehicle driver can not lean over and view something intended only for a vehicle passenger, such as a movie.

Abstract:
A dual view or two-sided display system (10) to display two different images in substantially opposite direction using a single transparent display (20) to time-multiplex the images and two shutter devices (32) to alternately block each side (22,24) from being viewed according to the image being displayed. The system (10) includes reflective devices (36) between each side of the transparent display (20) and the two shutter devices (32) so light can be reflected from one side of the transparent display (20) to the other side of the transparent display (20) in order to supplement the light intensity of the image being displayed.
Abstract:
A dual view display system (10) to display two different images in substantially opposite directions (A,B) using a single transparent display (20) to time-multiplex the images and shutter devices (32,34) to alternately block each side (A,B) from being viewed according to the image being displayed.
Abstract:
A display device having integral photo-sensors for touch sensing is used to detect and mitigate the effects of veiling glare that obscures information being conveyed by the display device. The photo-sensors are periodically sampled to identify optically saturated regions of the display device. If the saturated regions of the display device are being used to convey relevant information, one or more counter-measures are initiated to mitigate the effects of the glare. The counter-measures may include: increasing the display brightness at least in the identified glare region, tilting the display or its cover lens away from estimated direction of the glare source, re-sizing or re-formatting the displayed information, using an alternate display device to convey the information, and presenting the information with a different layer of a multi-layer display.
