Abstract: The performance of an electro-optic display, for example, a bistable electro-optic display, can be improved by modifying the frame rate of a base waveform used to drive a transition between gray states. Such modifications permit fine control of gray levels with reduced artifacts. The described methods additionally require less memory to store all of the waveforms needed to achieve good performance of an electro-optic display over a range of temperatures.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, an apparatus receives pixels associated with an image destined for an external display and determines a reduced backlight brightness for the external display and corresponding changes to the pixels to approximate overall quality of the image with current backlight brightness. Backlight commands are generated for the reduced backlight brightness and the pixels are enhanced to correspond to the reduced backlight brightness. The enhanced pixels and the backlight commands are transmitted to the external display via a display interface that supports backlight control. The display interface may be a wireless interface or a wired (cabled) interface (e.g., display port (DP), high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), video graphics array (VGA)). The functionality of the apparatus is included in a computing device so that backlight brightness reductions and corresponding pixel changes can be made taking into account policies of the computing device and user preferences.

The mouse pad includes a first layer that includes a first luminescent composition and a second layer that includes a second luminescent composition. The first luminescent composition and the second luminescent composition can have different luminescent properties or characteristics. The first luminescent composition and the second luminescent composition can be selected for establishing or providing the mouse pad with a desired, intended, or target set of illumination characteristics.
