Publication number: 20240377636Abstract: A head-mounted display including multiple displays tiled together is provided. A first display may include an active region and an inactive region. A second display may be aligned with the inactive region. The first display and the second display may have different resolutions and may present visual information with different display qualities based on their respective resolutions. For example, the first display may include a lower resolution than the second display. The inactive region may be centered in the first display, and the second display may be centered with respect to the first display. The head-mounted display may provide a continuous image(s) (or video(s)) with a high resolution on the second display, while providing the remainder of the image(s) on the low resolution first display. Based on the multiple displays being tiled, the multiple displays may present one or more images, or one or more videos, in a non-overlapping manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2023Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Cheonhong Kim, Min Hyuk Choi, Donghee Nam, Zhiming Zhuang

Publication number: 20240300432Abstract: An airbag chute-integrated crash pad assembly includes: a main core that includes a door portion expanding when an airbag expands, and a cover portion mounted on a dash board. In particular, the main core is formed with a reinforcement portion extending downward from a lower surface of the cover portion, and the door portion and the cover portion are separated by a hinge groove that is formed in a lower surface of the main core and forms an expansion line. The reinforcement portion is combined with an airbag accommodation body that accommodates a passenger airbag (PAB). Thus, process optimization can be realized by omitting a process of machining a score and fusing a PAB chute, and also a problem of damage to the PAB chute can be solved.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicants: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA CORPORATION, KBI DONGKOOK IND.

Patent number: 12087222Abstract: Embodiments relate to a display device with subpixels that share switch transistors that selectively connect sources of driving transistors to a high voltage source. Further, part of reset transistors or part of a select transistor may be shared across multiple subpixels. The reset transistor selectively connects an anode of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) to a low voltage source. The select transistor selectively passes through pixel data from a data line when a gate signal is received via a gate line. Driver transistors and capacitors of the subpixels are independent and not shared. In this way, the dimensions of the subpixels may be reduced and enable increase in the density of the pixels.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: META PLATFORMS TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Gang Chen, Qianqian Wang, Min Hyuk Choi

Patent number: 12057067Abstract: Embodiments relate to a display device including pixels that compensate a threshold voltage of a driving transistor using the body effect. Pixel data for the driving transistor increases the source-bulk voltage of the driving transistor during a compensation period as a result of the body effect. A separate reference voltage is not received at the pixel for the purpose of compensating the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. The increased source-bulk voltage is then used in an emission period of the pixel to compensate for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: META PLATFORMS TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Qianqian Wang, Min Hyuk Choi, Gang Chen

Publication number: 20230368737Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and corresponding systems and devices for compensating burn-in in an electronic display. When the electronic display is divided into multiple regions, each region can have a separate compensation parameter associated with it. The compensation parameter can be determined through estimating pixel degradation based on how the region was used over the lifetime of the electronic display, for instance, the brightness of images previously displayed in the region. Although each region may have its own compensation parameter, burn-in compensation can be performed by selecting one compensation parameter from among a set of stored parameters for use as a global compensation parameter applied across all the display pixels, i.e., the entire display area. The global compensation parameter can be selected based on which region a user is looking at. Accordingly, a display system can include or be coupled to an eye-tracking unit that monitors eye movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Byung Geun JUN, Jeong-Keun AHN, Min Hyuk CHOI

Publication number: 20230317006Abstract: Embodiments relate to a display device including pixels that compensate a threshold voltage of a driving transistor, the pixels arranged in a plurality of rows. The gate of the driving transistor of each pixel is coupled to a pixel data switch and a reference voltage switch, configured to selectively provide pixel data provided via a data line and a reference voltage provided via a separate reference voltage line to the gate of the driving transistor, respectively. As pixel data and the reference voltage are provided to the driving transistor via separate lines, the compensation period of the pixel may overlap in time with a data writing period of pixels of a previous row of the display device, increasing the rate at which the display device is able to program the pixels of each row.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Gyungmin Kim, Min Hyuk Choi, Takanori Shibasaki

Patent number: 11727892Abstract: Described is a system including a display, a display controller, and control logic communicatively coupled to the display. The display controller determines, based on coordinates of a focus point on the display, boundaries of a first image region and a second image region in an output image to be rendered. The focus point is determined through tracking an eye movement of a user viewing the display. The first image region has a higher resolution than the second image region. The display controller is configured to send image data together with control signals to the control logic. The control signals cause the control logic to render the output image on the display using the image data. As part of rendering the second image region, the control logic outputs a shared signal onto signal lines that are coupled to light sources in a group of adjacent rows or columns.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: META PLATFORMS TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Qianqian Wang, Gang Chen, Min Hyuk Choi, Zhiming Zhuang
