  • Publication number: 20240080573
    Abstract: Convolutional neural networks have, over the last decade, risen to state-of-the-art for computer vision tasks such as image classification. Oftentimes these are implemented on specialized digital processors, which target high throughput operation. This is efficient when analyzing batches of images loaded from memory but is lacking when analyzing freshly-captured images on a sensor. Latency is an issue since image acquisition alone can take as long as the processing. Second, streams of images captured from sensors can result in highly redundant processing if only specific signatures needs to be recognized, leading to a high amount of wasted power. Disclosed is a way to perform convolutional processing on the image plane where the image is captured, which allows the device to only complete readout and processing when required. This reduces latency and power consumption, enabling new applications such as augmented reality and edge processing that are not possible with current technology.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a device having an organic light emitting device (OLED) display comprising a plurality of metapixels. Each metapixel of the plurality of metapixels may have two or more sets of emissive regions that are configured to: (i) emit blue light that is a combination of light from the two or more sets of emissive regions that are configured to emit the blue light for that metapixel, and/or (ii) that are addressable by the same drive circuit. The metapixel may include more than one independently addressable sub-pixel configured to emit green light and more than one independently addressable sub-pixel configured to emit red light.

  • Patent number: 11881161
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are provided in which an OLED panel is operated in two modes. The first mode operates in a standard way to display an image or video or otherwise illuminate sub-pixels of the panel. In the second mode, some pixels are operated at a lower brightness than in the first mode. The use of multiple modes allows for improved sub-pixel lifetime and reduced sub-pixel and image degradation.

    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide a window, an energy and light producing device including at least one transparent photovoltaic device and at least one non-transparent Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) in an optical path of the window. A controller may control the operation of the non-transparent OLED of the energy and light producing device. An energy storage device may be electrically coupled to the controller and the energy and light producing device to store energy generated by the transparent photovoltaic device and to power the non-transparent OLED. In some implementations, a LED or OLED may be mounted in the frame of the window and may be powered by the energy storage device.
