  • Patent number: 11935756
    Abstract: A method for patterning a layer increases the density of features formed over an initial patterning layer using a series of self-aligned spacers. A layer to be etched is provided, then an initial sacrificial patterning layer, for example formed using optical lithography, is formed over the layer to be etched. Depending on the embodiment, the patterning layer may be trimmed, then a series of spacer layers formed and etched. The number of spacer layers and their target dimensions depends on the desired increase in feature density. An in-process semiconductor device and electronic system is also described.

  • Publication number: 20240077929
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to sensed data indicating that the electronic display is not visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on whether the electronic display is visible, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20240077930
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to operating conditions, additional data, and/or predicting that the electronic display is not going to be viewed or visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on a prediction of when a viewer is expected to view the electronic display, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.
