  • Patent number: 11967266
    Abstract: A MOG circuit and a display panel are provided. The MOG circuit controls the current-stage MOG circuit through the first node signal to block the input of the MUX signal. At the same time, the MOG circuit controls the current-stage MUX circuit through the second node signal such that the voltage level of the scan signal is pulled down to the voltage level of the first low voltage level signal. In this way, all the scan signals could satisfy the turn-off stage while the MUX circuit has a lower loading capability.

  • Patent number: 11960093
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have displays that provide images. Waveguides may be used in conveying the images to eye boxes. The waveguides may overlap lenses in a glasses frame or other head-mounted support structure. The waveguides and lenses may be transparent. This allows real-world objects to be viewed from the eye boxes. Infrared-light reflectors may overlap the lenses. Gaze tracking system light sources may supply infrared light that reflects from the infrared-light reflectors to the eye boxes to illuminate a user's eyes. Gaze tracking system cameras capture gaze tracking images of the eyes from the eye boxes to track the user's gaze. Fiducials associated with the infrared-light reflectors may be monitored using the gaze tracking system cameras. This allows components such as the gaze tracking system cameras to be calibrated.

  • Patent number: 11947758
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided herein for determining the handedness of input provided by a user via a touch interface. For instance, for each touch-based input detected, a score indicating a probability whether the touch-based input was inputted by a particular hand of the user is generated. A classification for the touch-based input is then generated based on a drift diffusion model-based technique in which inter-dependencies between a series of touch-based input are approximated. The determined classifications are used to determine the handedness of the user.

  • Patent number: 11902534
    Abstract: Dynamic transcode throttling methods and devices for processing resource management and thermal mitigation in electronic devices such as eyewear devices. An electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures a transcoding service to operate at different rates. A frame delay module is configured to add a delay between read frames prior to the transcoding service. This enables the electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation and can be performed without powering down the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11822756
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display (LCD) device having a touch panel function, power consumption is reduced in the standby state. The display section is divided into blocks each of which is formed of a plurality of display lines. The counter electrode is disposed for each block. A driving circuit selectively supplies, to the counter electrode of each block, the voltage used for the liquid crystal display and the voltage used for the touch panel scanning. The driving circuit has a source amplifier that supplies the video voltages to the video lines. The driving circuit reduces the current in the source amplifier, such that the current is lower than current at the time of a normal operation, to lower the power consumption, and stops the operation of the source amplifier and supplies the GND voltage to the video lines to further lower the power consumption.
