Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a display assembly with dynamic brightness compensation. The display assembly includes a display element, a controller, and a backlight device. The controller obtains gaze information for a user's eye, generates emission instructions based at least in part on the gaze information, and dynamically assigns at least a portion of a plurality of light sources in the backlight device to a plurality of regions based at least in part on the gaze information. The light sources emit light through the display element, and the display element spatially modulates the light received from the backlight device to generate image light. Each subset of the light sources dynamically assigned to a respective region emits a portion of the light having brightness adjusted by a respective adjustment value in accordance with the emission instructions.

Abstract: A device includes a micro-organic light emitting diode (µ-OLED) display panel and an electronic component. An electrical connector electrically couples the µ-OLED display panel and the electronic component. An air duct is physically coupled to the µ-OLED display panel and the electronic component. The air duct functions to cool the µ-OLED display panel when air flows through the air duct. A system fan provides air flow to the air duct and dissipates heat away from the display panel. A system fan can be located disconnected from the µ-OLED display panel and can provide air flow to the air duct to dissipate heat away from the display panel. The device can be implemented with a single fan solution or a multiple fan solution (e.g., two or more fans).

Abstract: A device includes a micro-organic light emitting diode (µ-OLED) display panel and an electronic component. An electrical connector electrically couples the µ-OLED display panel and the electronic component. A standoff is disposed between the electronic component and the µ-OLED display panel. The standoff physically couples the electronic component and the µ-OLED display panel with a gap therebetween. The gap thermally decouples the electronic component from the µ-OLED display panel. A fan that is integrated with the µ-OLED display panel is placed in the standoff and actively cools the display panel. When the fan provides air flow over the µ-OLED display panel, heat generated by the µ-OLED display is mitigated by cooling air.

A U-shaped heat sink can be disposed in the standoff, and heat generated by the ?-OLED display can be mitigated by a system fan when a U-shaped heat sink is disposed in the standoff.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for implementing backlight dimming film. These techniques may be performed using a side entry lightguide structure having a receiving side and an output surface. The lightguide structure receives light through the receiving side and redirects the light so that it is output through the output surface. The techniques are also performed relative to a cover screen structure that receives light from the output surface of the lightguide structure and filters the light to display an image. A dimming film is disposed between the output surface of the lightguide structure and the cover screen structure. The dimming film is controlled to block light output from the output surface of the lightguide structure from being received at the cover screen structure.

Abstract: An electronic device utilizes a method for displaying content on a display of the device during different device operating modes. According to one embodiment, the device (e.g., through its processing subsystem) determines whether it is in an active mode or a sleep mode. If the device is in an active mode, the device illuminates a first portion of the display to display content. On the other hand, if the device is in a sleep mode, the device illuminates a second, substantially lesser portion of the display to display content. In one embodiment, the device display includes a display panel and two disparate backlights positioned behind the display panel. The first backlight is operable to illuminate the first portion of the display panel and the second backlight is operable to illuminate the second portion of the display panel when each backlight is respectively activated by the device's processing subsystem.
