  • ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES
    Publication number: 20170207408
    Abstract: The present invention provides an emissive region in organic light emitting devices having a combined emission from at least two emissive materials, a fluorescent blue emissive material and a phosphorescent emissive material. The emissive region may further comprise additional fluorescent or phosphorescent emissive materials. Preferably, the emissive region has three different emissive materials—a red emissive material, a green emissive material and a blue emissive material. Organic light emitting devices incorporating the emissive region provides a high color-stability of the light emission over a wide range of currents or luminances.

  • Rugged Display Device Architecture
    Publication number: 20160293099
    Abstract: Described herein are display devices having architectures with a reduced number of external connections from the display to the external electronics, which allows for an increase in the pitch of the external connections, thereby improving reliability and flexibility, and reducing costs. The architecture of these devices is based on using multiplexers to connect external source lines to the individual display column lines. Accordingly, data signals can come into the display on a reduced number of external source lines as compared to the number of display column lines. The architecture allows for high-reliability, rugged contacts to a small-sized display by avoiding the need for high resolution interconnects.

  • INTELLIGENT DIMMING LIGHTING
    Publication number: 20160295666
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are provided for operating a display and/or an illumination source based upon the direction of a user's gaze and/or a desired illumination level in a monitored area. One or more elements may be controlled with sensor input and application lighting preferences. For example, when a user receives a video call, light may be activated to illuminate their face. When the user is looking at the display, the display will be at the brightness necessary for the lighting conditions. When the user looks away from the screen, the screen may dim further and the lighting elements for the desk can brighten. Similarly, embodiments may adjust the lighting in a monitored location based upon lighting levels identified in other areas.
