  • Publication number: 20180079370
    Abstract: A reconfigurable display system includes a camera, a thin-film-transistor layer, and a film layer. The camera is located behind a display and oriented to have a field-of-view of a viewable-side of the display. The thin-film-transistor layer of the display defines a window whereby the camera views the field-of-view through the thin-film-transistor layer. The film layer of the display defines an aperture though the film layer, wherein the film layer is positioned so that the aperture is aligned with the window. As a result, the camera views the field-of-view through the aperture and the thin-film-transistor layer.

  • Publication number: 20140049101
    Abstract: A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material molded to provide details to accept audio devices and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips.

  • Patent number: 8477509
    Abstract: A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application is virtually “fastenerless” and includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material that is molded to provide details to accept audio devices such as playback mechanisms (if desired) and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides EMC, RFI, BCI and ESD shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips. The PCB architecture is bifurcated into a first board carrying common circuit components in a surface mount configuration suitable for high volume production, and a second board carrying application specific circuit components in a wave soldered stick mount configuration.
