  • Publication number: 20240023229
    Abstract: An arrayed RF system includes an expandable mother circuit carrier and sub-modules implemented with RF packaged radiation structures. The sub-modules are embedded onto the mother circuit carrier through plug-in interfaces to form a replaceable and expandable co-structural structure. The mother circuit carrier receives and up-converts an input intermediate-frequency signal, thereby generating first high-frequency signals. The sub-modules are horizontally embedded on the mother circuit carrier, arranged into a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array, and electrically connected to the mother circuit carrier. The RF packaged radiation structures respectively receive first high-frequency signals, thereby emitting first RF signals. The RF packaged radiation structures receive second RF signals, thereby generating second high-frequency signals. The mother circuit carrier down-converts the second high-frequency signals, thereby generating an output intermediate-frequency signal.

  • Publication number: 20240022705
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have a number of independently controllable viewing zones. A eye and/or head tracking system may use a camera to capture images of a viewer of the display. Control circuitry in the electronic device may use the captured images from the eye and/or head tracking system to determine which viewing zones are occupied by the viewer's eyes. The control circuitry may disable or dim viewing zones that are not occupied by the viewer's eyes in order to conserve power. An unoccupied viewing zone and an adjacent, occupied viewing zone may display the same image to increase sharpness in the display.
