  • Patent number: 11867903
    Abstract: A near-eye display device for virtual or augmented reality (AR), comprising of only a few, light-weight optical elements and offering high resolution and a large field of view. The device comprises a display positioned close to a user's eye and a concave, preferably partially transparent mirror, reflecting and focusing displayed images toward the user's eye. The display emits image forming light patterns from its side away from the eye and is clear transparent from its other side, allowing for a direct view through the display. This allows for a coaxial rather than the usual off-axis-configuration of the optical image forming elements, in particular the concave mirror and also the display itself, which may also serve as a second optical element if its surface has a non planar shape. These principles presented allow to overcome resolution limitations usually connected with simple optical configurations.

  • Patent number: 11850017
    Abstract: A robotic surgery system is disclosed that can include an instrument including an operational tool coupled to a positioner and an input device configured to generate input signals in response to manipulation by an operator representing a desired spatial positioning of the tool within a tool workspace including extents corresponding to physical movement limitations for the positioner. A processor can be configured to receive the input signals and process the signals to determine the desired spatial positioning. The processor can be configured to initiate a movement management function in response to a determination that the desired spatial positioning would result in a movement of the positioner associated with a potential service life reduction for the instrument. The processor can be configured to generate drive signals for movement of the positioner in response to a determination that the desired spatial positioning is not associated with a potential reduction in service life.

  • 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.
