  • Patent number: 9881586
    Abstract: Systems and methods for self-adjusting displays are provided. A self-adjusting display may receive a display characteristics shift profile, where the display characteristics shift profile can be generated based on calibration event data collected from a plurality of displays. The display characteristics shift profile can be utilized as an estimate or prediction of a shift in display characteristics the self-adjusting display may experience over time. The self-adjusting display may calculate adjustment factors or curves to compensate for the estimated/predicted shift in display characteristics to lessen or altogether eliminate the need for performing actual calibration on the self-adjusting display.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9288564
    Abstract: Integrated audio-visual systems are provided. Such integrated audio-visual systems are capable of reproducing sound frequencies without compromising visual characteristics. In particular, a surface of the acoustic diaphragm also serves as the image projection screen. Such surface may be made of materials capable of reflecting light and converting audio signals simultaneously. The surface may be integrated with electromagnetic conductive materials or nanomaterials. In response to an audio signal, the surface is driven by various driving mechanism to create acoustic vibration. Any number of audio zones may be created on the surface and the audio emanation areas may be customized for the desired application.
