Patent number: 11962742Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The display may have a number of independently controllable viewing zones. Each viewing zone displays a respective two-dimensional image. Each eye of the viewer may receive a different one of the two-dimensional images, resulting in a perceived three-dimensional image. The electronic device may include display pipeline circuitry that generates and processes content to be displayed on the lenticular display. Content generating circuitry may initially generate content that includes a plurality of two-dimensional images, each two-dimensional image corresponding to a respective viewing zone. The two-dimensional images may be processed by per-view processing circuitry. Pixel mapping circuitry may be used to map the two-dimensional images to the array of pixels in the lenticular display. After pixel mapping, additional panel-level processing may be performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Sheng Zhang, Chaohao Wang, Felipe Bacim De Araujo E Silva, Karol E.

Patent number: 11893154Abstract: An electronic device, while the electronic device is worn over a predefined portion of the user's body, displays, via a display generation component arranged on the electronic device opposite the predefined portion of the user's body, a graphical representation of an exterior view of a body part that corresponds to the predefined portion of the user's body. The electronic device detects a change in position of the electronic device with respect to the predefined portion of the user's body. The electronic device, in response to detecting the change in the position of the electronic device with respect to the predefined portion of the user's body, modifies the graphical representation of the exterior view of the body part that corresponds to predefined portion of the user's body in accordance with the detected change in position of the electronic device with respect to the predefined portion of the user's body.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Alfred B.

Publication number: 20240022705Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Yi-Pai Huang, Felipe Bacim De Araujo E Silva, Ping-Yen Chou, ByoungSuk Kim, Chaohao Wang, Yi Huang, Michael J.

Publication number: 20230421749Abstract: An electronic device may include a stereoscopic display with a plurality of lenticular lenses that extend across the length of the display. 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 different viewing zones that account for horizontal parallax as a viewer moves horizontally relative to the display. The display may be dimmed globally, blurred, and/or composited with a default image based on the detected vertical position of the viewer. The display may render content that compensates for the real-time vertical positions of multiple viewers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Pavel V.
