  • Publication number: 20240152196
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a light modulator configured to modulate light to display frames of images based on display image data, and a controller coupled to the light modulator. The controller is configured to obtain a sequence of image data to be displayed by the light modulator; produce the display image data based on the sequence of image data; transmit the display image data to the light modulator; determine, based on the sequence of image data, to enter one or more sleep modes that reduce power usage by the controller, the light modulator, or an interface between the controller and the light modulator compared to a normal operation mode; and enter one or more extended sleep modes that have lower power usage than the one or more sleep modes if an extended sleep mode signal is detected in the sequence of image data.

  • Patent number: 11321673
    Abstract: An electronic device, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided for automatically creating an ad-hoc calendar event. The electronic device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor receives data including user information, venue information, and location information from a plurality of data sources; determines an interest above a predetermined threshold based on the received data; creates an event based on the determined interest and received data; and provides a recommendation of the created event to another electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20130235262
    Abstract: A method for packaging an image sensor structure and an image sensor structure formed from the same are provided. The method comprises the steps of: providing an image sensor set on a substrate in that: a plurality of substrate conductive joints are installed on the supporting surface; adhering a transparent cover upon the image sensor set; taking a needle with adhesive therein; preferably, the adhesive is epoxy; injecting the adhesive from the needle into a periphery of the image sensor set and the transparent cover to completely seal the sensor conductive joints, the substrate conductive joints and conductive wires between the substrate conductive joints and the sensor conductive joints so as to package the image sensor set therein and form a packaging structure; and baking the packaging structure. An image sensor structure made from the same is provided.
