  • Changing the appearance of an electronic device
    Patent number: 8792069
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a layer including a material which has an electrically controllable transparency. At least a part of the layer is arranged to cover at least a part of a surface of a display. The apparatus further includes electrical contacts arranged to enable an electrical control of the transparency of the layer. When employing such an apparatus, it may be determined which appearance the layer is to assume. The transparency of the layer can then be controlled in accordance with the determined appearance.

  • Reflectors for display pixels
    Publication number: 20080117151
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises an arrangement of display pixels and reflectors arranged to reflect ambient light passing through the display pixels. The reflectors are electrically controllable, in order to enable an optimization of the portion of the ambient light that is reflected by the reflectors. A required adjustment of such electrically controllable reflectors can be determined, and the reflectors can then be controlled accordingly.
