Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electronic displays and display components, specifically to a method of addressing more pixels with a smaller number of driver outputs while also allowing very narrow frames on three sides of a display. It further discloses a display driver integrated circuit capable of providing the signals required for the disclosed addressing method and display systems capable of being addressed by the disclosed method and display driver integrated circuit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for IR readable transmissive and reflective displays are disclosed that do not suffer from a mirror-like appearance or undesirable dimming of the display due to sequential stacks of polarizers. The disclosed systems and methods use available IR LEDs in addition to, or in place of, visible light LEDs. An illuminator or integrator, which is a lightguide, is designed to maintain the polarization state of the light. The display can use a regular visible light, front polarizer and hence does not suffer from brightness reduction caused by an IR capable polarizer. A digital license plate application comprising a reflective liquid crystal display with a front light, which includes polarized IR illumination, is also disclosed.
Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for an electronic display are disclosed. More specifically, the invention and disclosure relates to an electronic display that has a diffuse, paper-like reflectance characteristic for visible light, while being retroreflective and non-diffuse for infrared light, for easy image detection and analysis with infrared cameras, while preserving viewing properties of an electronic paper display for humans.

Abstract: A method to drive bi-stable liquid crystal displays and related drivers and displays using same are disclosed. The method and driver use additional high impedance states of the outputs to save power while addressing bi-stable and multi-stable liquid crystal displays. The invention implements high impedance states at the driver outputs, allowing non-addressed sections of the display to electrically “float” and by doing so reduces the required power to drive the display. Other advantages include improved visual effect of an update, such as reduced flash during the update, simpler operation, and better yields due to a larger operating window.
