Abstract: There is provided a display screen configurable via optical signals to display an image. The display screen is formed of an optical waveguide having a display surface and supporting a plurality of pixels for displaying the image on the display surface of the optical waveguide. The optical waveguide is arranged to guide a multiplexed signal in optical form to a plurality of pixel controllers, each coupled to at least one of the pixels and configured to demultiplex the multiplexed signal and thereby extract a component signal associated with the at least one pixel for controlling it to render an element of the image.

Abstract: A piece of smart fabric for recognizing an object or a touch gesture includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has multiple resistive sensors and multiple capacitive sensors. Each resistive sensor corresponds to each capacitive sensor. Each capacitive sensor includes a first piece of conductive fabric and a second piece of conductive fabric, and each resistive sensor includes a piece of pressure sensing fabric sandwiched between the first piece of conductive fabric and the second piece of conductive fabric of the corresponding capacitive sensor. The second layer has multiple inductive sensors and multiple NFC sensors. Each of the multiple inductive sensors corresponds to each of the NFC sensors. Each inductive sensor and its corresponding NFC sensor share a same coil.
