  • Publication number: 20240111032
    Abstract: A LIDAR transceiver includes a source input, coherent cells, and an optical switch. The optical switch is configured to switchably couple the source input to the coherent cells. At least one of the coherent cells includes an input port, an optical antenna, and a splitter. The input port is coupled to the optical switch and the splitter is coupled between the input port and the optical antenna. The splitter is configured to split a received portion of a laser signal into a local oscillator signal and a transmit signal, where the transmit signal is emitted through the optical antenna. A reflection of the transmit signal is received through the optical antenna as a reflected signal, where the splitter is further configured to output a return signal that is a portion of the reflected signal.

  • Publication number: 20240096285
    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. A pixel can include an organic light-emitting diode, up to three thin-film transistors, and up to two capacitors. The pixel can include a drive transistor, an emission transistor, and a select transistor. The select transistor can be used to apply a reference voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a global reset phase and during a global threshold voltage sampling phase and can also be used to apply a data voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a data programming phase. The drive transistor can receive a power supply voltage that toggles between a low voltage during the global reset phase and a high voltage during other phases of operation. Configured and operated in this way, the pixel need not include separate dedicated anode reset and initialization transistors.

    Abstract: A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor system for a vehicle includes one or more LIDAR pixels. At least one of the one or more LIDAR pixels includes a dual-polarization optical antenna, a second optical antenna, and one or more receivers. The dual-polarization optical antenna is configured to emit a transmit beam having a first polarization orientation, and detect a return beam having a second polarization orientation. The second optical antenna is offset from the dual-polarization optical antenna by a particular distance, and is configured to detect the return beam having the second polarization orientation. The one or more receivers are configured to generate one or more signals in response to detecting the second polarization orientation of the return beam.

  • Publication number: 20240081134
    Abstract: A hybrid display may include different display portions with different resolutions. The high resolution display portion may be positioned in a main viewing area for the viewer whereas the low resolution display portion may be positioned in a peripheral viewing area. The high resolution display portion may have a silicon backplane. The low resolution display portion may have a different type of backplane such as a thin-film transistor backplane. The different display portions may optionally share a common organic light-emitting diode layer such that light is emitted from the same plane across both display portions. The high resolution display portion may emit light through a transparent window in the low resolution display portion. A high resolution display may also be formed by separately forming a frontplane and a backplane. Conductive attachment structures such as indium bumps may be used to mechanically and electrically connect the backplane to the frontplane.

  • Publication number: 20240046276
    Abstract: Expedited transaction processing using a database of integrated in-store and online transactions is described. First transaction information associated with a first transaction conducted in a physical store of a merchant and second transaction information associated with a second transaction conducted via an online store of the merchant can be received. The first transaction can be processed based at least partly on the first transaction information and a record of the first transaction can be stored in the database. Based at least partly on the record, the second transaction can be processed using at least a portion of the second transaction information by (i) sending, to a card authorization service, the second payment information and (ii) generating an indication that the first payment information was authorized for the first transaction at the physical store. A computing device of the online store can be notified that the second transaction is allowed.

  • Publication number: 20230394042
    Abstract: Technologies described reduce the amount of time between requesting content and receiving the requested content. In some embodiments, a client provides a search query. A search result page is generated and, prior to returning the search result page to the client, some or all of the search results are asynchronously pre-fetched and cached. The search query can include custom parameters that are also included in the pre-fetch requests. Web addresses in the search results page can be modified to indicate whether a prefetch operation was initiated. Once a user activates one of the search results, the responding web server uses the cached data while generating a response.
