  • Patent number: 8040292
    Abstract: A head-mounted display system displays information via a matrix display element mounted within a housing that is positioned relative to at least eye of a user. The display is connected to a video or information source such that the user can view information or images shown on the display. The display can be mounted to a frame so that the user can move the display in and out of the user's field of view without adjusting the supporting harness that holds the display on the user's head.

  • Publication number: 20030002243
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to docking station or holster for wearable computers. The holster allows a user to carry a wearable computer and expands the peripheral capabilities of the underlying computer. The holster is not required for the computer to function as a wearable computer but rather extends its functionality. Optionally, the holster can be utilized with the same computer as a desktop docking station.

  • Publication number: 20020030649
    Abstract: A color active matrix display system allows random access of pixel electrodes. The control electronics is fabricated with the active matrix circuitry using single crystal silicon technology. The control electronics includes a random access data scanner and random access spec scanners. By selectively actuating pixel electrodes in the active matrix display region, compressed video information can be directly displayed on the active matrix display panel. Color stripes are used to generate sequential color systems to produce a color image from the active matrix display panel.
