  • Publication number: 20230221611
    Abstract: Described herein is a polymorphic dashboard that has (1) a first set of indicators with front and back electro-optic layers having different operable properties and (2) a second set of indicators with a front and back electro-optic layers having different operable properties. Of the four electro-optic layers, at least one of the layers has different operable properties as compared to the others. For each indicator, its optical state is a composite of the optical states of that indicator's front electro-optic layer and back electro-optic layer.

  • Patent number: 11467433
    Abstract: Described herein is a polymorphic display, which is a unitary apparatus constructed such that a wide variety of electro-optic functions are enabled. The polymorphic display, even when having multiple pixels, enables sharing of selected structures among the pixels. In a multi-pixel construction, there is a set of pixels in the display that exhibit one set of operable properties, such as particular stability, sequencing, and switching properties, and another set of pixels that are different from the first set. That is, they have different stability, sequencing, or switching properties. In such a way, a highly flexible polymorphic display may be construed to satisfy a wide range of display needs.

  • Publication number: 20200304380
    Abstract: A method of remotely controlling a device at a location is provided. A dataset is received from each of a plurality of different locations, comprising at least one data value of at least one monitorable device at the respective location. Based on the dataset, a user interface can be generated, comprising a primary interface element having plurality of matrix positions mapped to a surface of a sphere. In the user interface, an interactive object icon is displayed which is representative of a monitorable device positioned at the respective matrix position. A scale of each interactive object icon is indicative of the data value of the said monitorable device. After receiving a user input at an interactive object icon, a processor retrieves and displays the data value of a monitorable device associated with the interactive object icon, and a device is controlled at the location to perform a physical function.
