  • Patent number: 8289301
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for presenting media content on display systems. The display system includes two or more displays. In some display systems, the displays may be oriented in at least two different directions. Each of the displays are connected to a graphics communication bus. The graphics communication bus communicates common content information for the displays and discrete radiance-control information, which may contain different intensity and color control information for each of the displays. Each of the displays present the content information and adjust radiance characteristics of its display in response to the discrete radiance-control information associated with that display. The display system may include a computing system for controlling the graphics communication bus. The display system may also include ambient light sensors on each facet of the multifaceted display. Information from the ambient light sensors may be used for determining the discrete radiance-control information.

  • Patent number: 7525510
    Abstract: A sign structure having a display, movable member and computer means creates a unique vehicle for displaying content. In one version, the movable member is adjacent to the display and substantially shields a portion of the display as it traverses thereover. Coordinated content transmitted to the display gives the appearance that the movable member is influencing the displayed content. For example, as the member moves upward an image below the member stretches in size while an image above the member compresses in size until the upper image disappears and the lower image occupies the entire visible portion of the display. This continues as the member traverses up and down over the display. The member may appear to manipulate the images by stretching, compressing, pushing, pulling and/or erasing them.
