  • Publication number: 20210151630
    Abstract: An example of a pixel module comprises a module substrate having light emitters disposed on a light-emitter surface and a controller disposed on a controller surface opposed to the light-emitter surface. At least one module electrode is electrically connected to the controller and at least one module electrode is electrically connected to each light emitter. An example of a pixel-module wafer comprises a module source wafer comprising sacrificial portions and module anchors, each sacrificial portion laterally separated from an adjacent sacrificial portion by a module anchor and a pixel module disposed entirely over each sacrificial portion. At least one module tether physically connects each of the pixel modules to at least one of the module anchors. An example of a pixel-module display comprises a display substrate, pixel modules disposed on the display substrate and display electrodes disposed on the display substrate, each display electrode electrically connected to a module electrode.

  • Patent number: 10748793
    Abstract: A method of micro-transfer printing comprises providing a component source wafer and components disposed in, on, or over the component source wafer. A destination substrate and a stamp for transferring the components from the component source wafer to the destination substrate is provided. The component source wafer has an attribute or structure that varies across the component source wafer that affects the structure, operation, appearance, or performance of the components. A first array of components is transferred from the component source wafer to the destination substrate with a first orientation. A second array of components is transferred from the component source wafer to the destination substrate with a second orientation different from the first orientation. Components can be transferred by micro-transfer printing and different orientations can be a different rotation, overlap, interlacing, or offset.

  • Patent number: 10649609
    Abstract: Inventive embodiments described herein relate to a universal approach for handling user interface notifications. A notification pipeline on a device acts as an intermediary between applications on the device and notification surfaces on the device. Notification surfaces register themselves with the notification pipeline to become active subscribers. Applications or other processes submit notifications complying with a same format, schema, structure, etc. to the notification pipeline. The notification pipeline broadcasts the notification to the subscribed notification surfaces, which in turn determine whether or how to handle and perhaps display the notification based on the content of the notification.

  • Publication number: 20200051482
    Abstract: A redundant pixel layout for a display comprises a display substrate and an array of pixels disposed on or over the display substrate. Each pixel comprises a first subpixel and a redundant second subpixel. The first subpixel includes a first subpixel controller electrically connected to controller wires and a first light emitter electrically connected to a first-light-emitter wire. The first light emitter is controlled by the first subpixel controller through the first-light-emitter wire. The second subpixel includes a second-subpixel-controller location connected to the controller wires and a second-light-emitter location comprising a second-light-emitter wire. The first light emitter is adjacent to the second-light-emitter location and the first light emitter and the second-light-emitter location are closer together than are any two pixels in the array of pixels.

  • Patent number: 10210140
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an actionable object within a third-party content slot of an information resource of a content publisher. A processor receives an indication of interest in providing, for display, a creative within at least one third-party content slot of an information resource of a content publisher. The information resource includes third-party content slots available to be reserved to serve creatives. The processor identifies, on the information resource, at least one third-party content slot available to be reserved to serve one or more creatives. The processor inserts an actionable object within the identified third-party content slot, the actionable object configured to generate a request to provide an interface for reserving the identified third-party content slot to display the creative responsive to an action being taken on the actionable object. The processor renders the information resource including the inserted actionable object within the identified third-party content slot.

  • Patent number: 10133446
    Abstract: Providing context from a dynamic icon to an underlying application. A method includes displaying dynamically, at a dynamic icon, a plurality of context elements. Each of the context elements corresponds to an item available in an application underlying the dynamic icon. The method further includes receiving user input at the dynamic icon indicating a desire to open an application underlying the dynamic icon. The method further includes, providing to the application underlying the dynamic icon an indication of a context element that was being displayed at the dynamic icon when the user input was received.
