Abstract:
A display having an integrated antenna with a substantially uniform transparency and/or light across the display. The display may have a uniformity layer that is an optical balance of the antenna, wherein the uniformity layer and the antenna have respective optical transparencies that provide a substantially uniform transparency across the display. The display may also have a backlight that has a surface brightness intensity corresponding to an optical inverse of the antenna, and is configured to provide a substantially uniform light across the display.
Abstract:
A touch panel for a display may include a touch sensor with a plurality of electrode traces. A first portion of the plurality of electrode traces may form sensing lines configured to receive touch input. The touch sensor includes an edge dummy area between an edge of the touch sensor and an electrode trace of a remaining portion of the plurality of electrode traces. The edge dummy area may be located outside of the sensing lines. The touch panel may further include an antenna with a radiation structure and a ground structure. The radiation structure may be located within a routing traces area outside of the touch sensor. The ground structure may be located within the edge dummy area. The ground structure may include an electrode trace of the plurality of electrode traces located within the edge dummy area of the touch sensor.
Abstract:
An apparatus for a wireless device includes a radio front end module (RFEM) configured to generate radio frequency (RF) signals. The apparatus further includes a multi-layer display, including a liquid crystal display (LCD) layer, a touch panel layer, and a cover glass layer. The apparatus further includes an antenna configured to transmit the RF signals. The antenna includes a primary coupling feeding structure, configured to receive the RF signals from the radio front end module via a feed line. The antenna also includes a generating structure configured to radiate the RF signals. The generating structure is alternating current (AC) operably coupled to the primary coupling feeding structure and is within a visible portion of the multi-layer display. The primary coupling feeding structure can include a non-transparent material and is disposed in a non-visible area of the cover glass layer.
Abstract:
A system according to one embodiment includes a plurality of antennas configured on a conformal material, the conformal material capable of conforming to a contour of a platform; and driver circuitry coupled to each of the plurality of antennas, wherein the driver circuitry comprises a plurality of transceivers, the plurality of transceivers configured to provide independently adjustable phase delay in the coupling to each of the plurality of antennas.
