Abstract: A voltage compensation circuit includes a voltage detection unit, a digital comparison correction unit, and a voltage adjustment unit. The voltage detection unit detects input voltage of the gate driver and conducts the input voltage to the digital comparison correction unit. The digital comparison correction unit compares the input voltage with reference voltage supplied by a controller for generating a correction controlling signal and conducting the correction controlling signal to the voltage adjustment unit. The voltage adjustment unit adjusts the input voltage and outputs a target voltage according to the correction controlling signal. The gate driver conducts the target voltage to an LCD panel. In this way, a scanning voltage conducted to a gate driver is adjusted. Therefore, a voltage drop will not exist between output voltages of different gate drivers, not only preventing mura from occurring in the LCD panel but also improving display quality of the LCD panel.

In response to a negative change of the angle of inclination changing from zero degrees and a dragging of the finger to a lower direction along the angle of inclination, the object is moved onto a third layer displayed deeper than the first layer.

Abstract: An optical see-through head-mounted display device includes a see-through lens which combines an augmented reality image with light from a real-world scene, while an opacity filter is used to selectively block portions of the real-world scene so that the augmented reality image appears more distinctly. The opacity filter can be a see-through LCD panel, for instance, where each pixel of the LCD panel can be selectively controlled to be transmissive or opaque, based on a size, shape and position of the augmented reality image. Eye tracking can be used to adjust the position of the augmented reality image and the opaque pixels. Peripheral regions of the opacity filter, which are not behind the augmented reality image, can be activated to provide a peripheral cue or a representation of the augmented reality image. In another aspect, opaque pixels are provided at a time when an augmented reality image is not present.

Abstract: Multi-touch sensitivity is enabled using a touch-sensitive apparatus comprising a panel for conducting signals from a plurality of incoupling points to a plurality of outcoupling points, thereby defining detection lines between pairs of incoupling and outcoupling points. Signal generators coupled to the incoupling points generate the signals, and signal detectors coupled to the outcoupling points generate an output signal indicative of one or more touches on the surface portion. A signal processor obtains the output signal which, if converted into a set of data samples of a given input format, enables a predetermined reconstruction algorithm to determine an interaction pattern on the surface portion. The signal processor generates, based on the output signal, a modified set of data samples in the given input format; and operates the predetermined reconstruction algorithm on the modified set of data samples so as to determine a modified interaction pattern on the surface portion.
