Publication number: 20240145911Abstract: An antenna correcting system is provided. The antenna correction system compares amplitudes of antenna signals that are emitted or received respectively by a plurality of antenna units with each other to select one of the amplitudes as target amplitude. The antenna correction system corrects the amplitude of each of the antenna signals according to the target amplitude. As a result, the amplitudes of the antenna signals are the same as each other or approximate to each other. After the amplitudes of the antenna signals are corrected, the antenna correction system compares phases of the antenna signals with each other to select one of the phases as a target phase. The antenna correction system corrects the phase of each of the antenna signals according to the target phase. As a result, the phases of the antenna signals are the same as each other or approximate to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: YUNG-TAI HSU, CHUN-HENG CHAO, YEN-WEI WANG, BO-YU ZHU

Patent number: 11908846Abstract: A display may include light-emitting components such as light-emitting diodes on a transparent substrate. Conductive signal paths between the light-emitting components, driver integrated circuits for controlling the light-emitting components, and the light-emitting components themselves may be opaque. To mitigate diffraction artifacts caused by the opaque components, the opaque footprint of the display may be selected to include non-periodic portions. The non-periodic portions increase randomness and reduce periodicity within the opaque footprint, which mitigates perceptible diffraction artifacts when viewing the display. One or both of the component mounting portions and interconnect portions of the opaque footprint may be non-periodic. The component mounting portions may have random shapes. The interconnect portions may follow random paths between the component mounting portions.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yung-Yu Hsu, Chaohao Wang, Jonathan C.

Publication number: 20230409082Abstract: An electronic device may have a display overlapped by a display cover layer. Portions of the surface of the display and cover layer may have curved profiles. For example, a display cover layer may have transparent sidewall portions with curved surface profiles. The transparent sidewall portions of the display cover layer may include rounded corners having areas of compound curvature. A flexible display panel may be pressed over a mold to impart desired curvature (such as compound curvature) to the flexible display panel. To mitigate wrinkling in a flexible display panel molded to have compound curvature, a film may be included that absorbs force in the display panel. The film may have a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different than that of the display panel. Instead or in addition, the film may have portions with different Young's modulus magnitudes or different thickness magnitudes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Bulong Wu, Zhen Zhang, Paul S.

Publication number: 20220244901Abstract: A tiling display system has multiple display panels. The display panels may be positioned by positioners that are coupled to the display panels. In an untiled operating mode, the display panels of the tiling display system are moved apart. In this mode, each display panel can display different content such as different static images of artwork. In a tiled operating mode, the display panels of the tiling system are moved together to form a single display that displays a single still or moving image. Components on the backs of the display panels and/or along the edges of the display panels may be used to facilitate panel-to-panel alignment, to help couple adjacent panels together, and to support the transfer of power and/or data signals among the panels. The components may include optical and/or electrical alignment sensors, magnets for alignment and coupling, and transmitters and receivers for transmitting and receiving signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Yang Li, Cheng Chen, Jiaying Wu, Kuan H.
