Abstract:
A display device comprises an illumination source (12), a display modulator (10) for modulating the light provided by the illumination source and an integrated light sensor arrangement (14) to detect a light level. Light sensor signals from a plurality of light sensors are processed such that localised shielding of the ambient light at the location of one or more of the light sensors is identified. An accurate estimate of the ambient light level can then be obtained.

Abstract:
The memory comprises at least two data storage units using hot carrier stressing damage to store data. Each data storage unit comprises the first terminal, the second terminal and a third terminal. When the first cross voltage between the second and third terminals is higher than the first threshold voltage and the second cross voltage between the first and third terminals is higher than the second threshold voltage, the data storage unit is in the first writing operation.
Abstract:
A display device comprises a lower substrate (19), comprising reflective display pixel electrodes (16), an upper substrate (11) and a liquid crystal layer (17) provided between the substrates. A light source (6) is provided on the upper substrate (11) for illuminating the display electrodes through the liquid crystal layer. This arrangement provides a top light as an integrated structure within the liquid crystal display structure. The illumination can be efficiently provided to the pixel electrodes. This means that a light source pattern used can provide small light source areas.
