  • Publication number: 20220278185
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a display including a plurality of emissive surfaces, where each of the plurality of emissive surfaces has emissive devices that are deposited or attached in the same plane, with each of the plurality of emissive surfaces configured with independent scan and data drivers. The display may be configured to display an image that is a combination of light from the plurality of emissive surfaces, wherein each of the plurality of emissive surfaces renders an image that differs by at least one selected from the group consisting of: color resolution, fill-factor, viewing angle, and transparency. Embodiments also provide an augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), or mixed reality (MR) system having a plurality of displays that each rendering an image based on the provided light of a different color spectrum, and one or more waveguides through which the light from the displays is combined.

  • Publication number: 20220108654
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220102441
    Abstract: Devices, arrangements, and techniques are provided to improve the color saturation of displays such as OLED displays while avoiding or substantially reducing any increase in power consumption that typically would be associated with such increase in saturation. A three-subpixel per pixel red/green/blue (RGB) architecture is provided as well as a four sub-pixel approach which uses two red sub-pixels for each pixel (red/red/green/blue, or R1R2GB).

  • Publication number: 20220059003
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a device that includes a full color display. A camera may be disposed below the full color display. A controller may modify a video signal applied to one or more sub-pixels of the full color display based on a predicted degradation of the one or more sub-pixels, such that the modification is updated by the controller based on luminance data for the one or more subpixels acquired by the camera.

  • Publication number: 20210406668
    Abstract: A hybrid neuromorphic computing device is provided, in which artificial neurons include light-emitting devices that provide weighted sums of inputs as light output. The output is detected by a photodetector and converted to an electrical output. Each neuron may receive output from one or more other neurons as initial input. Interconnects between neurons may be optical, electrical, or a combination thereof. The neurons also may provide imaging sensor and/or display capabilities.

  • Patent number: 11183541
    Abstract: A full-color display and techniques for fabrication thereof are provided. The display includes first and second continuous independently addressable organic emissive layers disposed over a single substrate or between two substrates or portions of a flexible substrate. The use of continuous emissive layers of a limited number of colors allows for a relatively high resolution display to be achieved without the use of fine metal masks or similar components.
