  • Patent number: 9076383
    Abstract: A light emitting element has a property in which a current value is varied due to a change in temperature. A display device has a temperature compensation function in order to suppress the variation in current value dues to the change in temperature. The temperature compensation function, which is essential for the present invention has a sensor, a storage means, and a correction means. The sensor has a function of detecting an environmental temperature. The detected temperature is compared with data of voltage-current characteristic versus temperature in the light emitting element which is stored in advance in the storage means. In the correction means, a signal inputted to a pixel or a power source potential supplied to a pixel portion is corrected using an output of the sensor and the data stored in the storage means.

  • Patent number: 9066092
    Abstract: A communication system is described that allows co-located viewers to simultaneously consume different media content, such as different video content, via the same display screen, wherein video content delivered to at least one co-located viewer is not visible to the other co-located viewer(s). The communication system comprises an infrastructure that includes multiple pathways for delivering media content from one or more media sources to the eyes of each of the co-located viewers, wherein each pathway passes through the pixels of a pixel array included in the shared display screen. The pathways also include distributed or non-distributed processing circuitry that manages certain resources that are shared among the multiple pathways, wherein such shared resources may include shared display resources (e.g., pixels of the pixel array and light generated thereby) and shared data communication resources (e.g., bandwidth on data communication links and processing resources of nodes located on such links).
