  • Patent number: 11830415
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure concern display devices. The voltage line for supplying driving voltage to the cathode electrode of the light emitting element in the subpixel and the voltage line for supplying voltage for initializing the subpixel are integrated together. This allows for use of fewer voltage lines in the active area, along with easier arrangement of the voltage lines. The wire resistance may be reduced by adjusting the width of the voltage lines. The reduction in wire resistance may decrease brightness deviation or increase the aperture ratio or transmittance of the subpixel, thus allowing the display device higher light emission efficiency or transmittance.

  • Patent number: 11822089
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for superimposing a virtual image on a real-time image. A system for superimposing a virtual image on a real-time image comprises a real-time image module and a virtual image module. The real-time image module comprises a magnification assembly to generate a real-time image of an object at a first location and a first depth, with a predetermined magnification. The virtual image module generates a virtual image by respectively projecting a right light signal to a viewer's right eye and a corresponding left light signal to a viewer's left eye. The right light signal and the corresponding left light signal are perceived by the viewer to display the virtual image at a second location and a second depth. The second depth is related to an angle between the right light signal and the corresponding left light signal projected to the viewer's eyes. The second depth may be approximately the same as the first depth.

  • Patent number: 11776445
    Abstract: It is intended to make it possible to make a favorable display of, for example, images of low frame-rate content, with a high-luminance and high-contrast television set. On the basis of an image stream having a first frame rate, for each frame, an object having luminance exceeding a luminance threshold value and/or a motion amount exceeding a motion-amount threshold value is detected as a target object. An image stream having a second frame rate larger than the first frame rate is acquired by inserting, between every pair of two consecutive frames in the image stream having the first frame rate, a predetermined number of frames of interpolated images obtained by performing motion compensation for causing the target object to sequentially move.

  • Patent number: 11769468
    Abstract: A timing controller of a display set is integrated with an encoder for transport of analog signals between a display controller and source drivers of the display panel. The timing controller and integrated encoder are within an integrated circuit and are part of a chipset. The integrated circuit is located immediately after the SoC of a display set or is integrated within the SoC. A video signal sent to the timing controller chip is unpacked into sample values which are permuted into vectors of samples, one vector per encoder. Each vector is converted to analog, encoded and the analog levels are sent to the source drivers which decode into analog samples. Or, each digital vector is encoded and then converted to analog. A line buffer uses a memory to present a row of pixel information to the encoders. A mobile telephone has an integrated TCON with SSVT transmitter.

  • Patent number: 11758702
    Abstract: A head-mounted device can effectively manage heat while also managing noise output in a manner that reduces the user's perception thereof. For example, a support member extending across a flow channel can provide multiple sections with different profiles and/or cross-sectional dimensions within the flow channel. Each of the profiles and/or cross-sectional dimensions can generate tonal noises at different frequencies, so that the tonal noises generated are distributed across multiple frequencies to mask such tonal noises among broadband noises that are generated by the head-mounted device. Such a support member can be moveably positioned within the flow channel and rigidly coupled to other components of the head-mounted device. Such a support member can also be used to draw heat away from other components of the head-mounted device to be dissipated by the flow of air within the flow channel.
