Patent number: 9693046Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a multi-view display system. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a display screen to display multiple views simultaneously, and a controller to control the views presented on the display screen. The apparatus is configurable by the controller to provide multiple view settings, the view settings including a first setting in which the apparatus provides a single view to each viewer of the display screen and a second setting in which the apparatus provides a first view to a first viewer of the display screen and a second view to a second viewer of the display screen. A first filtering element filters views presented to viewers of the display screen such that an intended view is displayed to one or more viewers.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2013Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Lattice Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Christopher Unkel, Lawrence L. Butcher, James G. Hanko, J. Duane Northcutt, Brian K. Schmidt, Edwin C. Seim

Patent number: 8325757Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to de-encapsulation of data streams into multiple links. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a data stream including multiple data frames, the data stream being in a first mode having a multiple channels of content data including a first channel sent in a first position in each data frame and a second channel sent in a second position in each data frame following the first position, with each data frame including a synchronization signal to indicate a start of the content data. The method further includes transforming the data stream into data sub-streams in a second mode, the data sub-streams including a first data sub-stream to carry data for the first channel in the second mode and a second data sub-stream to carry data for the second channel in the second mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Silicon Image, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Unkel, Edwin C.
