Abstract: An electronic device (400) for manufacturing a touch sensor is described. The electronic device (400) includes a printer (418) to print a first pattern and a second pattern on a first side of a first substrate (202). The first pattern is parallel to movement of a print head (206). The first pattern and the second pattern are perpendicular to each other. The electronic device (400) also includes a rotator (420) to rotate the first substrate (202) so that the printer (418) is to print the second pattern parallel to the movement of the print head (206).

Abstract: A display controller for a display may include a frame rate circuit to change a frame rate of the display from a first frame rate to a second frame rate, and a reference voltage circuit to adjust a reference voltage of the display from a first reference voltage corresponding to the first frame rate to a second reference voltage corresponding to the second frame rate. The display may be a thin film transistor liquid crystal display. The reference voltage may correspond to a common voltage (Vcom) for the display.

Abstract: Embodiments related to foveated display devices having first display elements having a first display element density in a first region of a display and second display elements having a second display element density less than the first display element density in a second region of the display are discussed.

Abstract: Techniques related to a method, apparatus, and system for flexible displays are described herein. For example, an apparatus may include a flexible display and an electroactive layer. Shape changes in the electroactive layer generate shape changes in the flexible display. The shape changes include one or more coil turns configured to coil the flexible display.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques related to privacy at display devices. The techniques include an apparatus having an electroactive privacy layer of a display device. The electroactive privacy layer is configured to restrict a propagation direction of light emission associated with a display layer of the display device. The restriction of propagation is generated by micro louvers formed in the electroactive privacy layer.

Abstract: A display panel with reduced power consumption is described. An example of the display panel includes an array of light emitting elements that are controllable to form an image, and a Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) backplane comprising circuitry to drive the array of light emitting elements. The TFT backplane includes a plurality of field effect transistors (FETs). Each FET includes a source electrode, a drain electrode, a channel layer contacting the source electrode and the drain electrode, and a gate electrode adjacent to the channel layer and separated from the channel layer by an insulator. The channel layer includes a layer of metal phosphide.

Abstract: An example system for image stream switching. The system for image stream switching may include a processor, a display, and a storage. The storage may include instructions that when executed on the processor, cause the processor to provide, to the display, a first image stream from a multiple simultaneous image streams data, the first image stream including a first setting and a first frame. The storage may include instructions that when executed on the processor, cause the processor to detect a signal to switch an image stream setting. The storage may include instructions that when executed on the processor, cause the processor to provide, to the display, a second image stream from the multiple simultaneous image streams data in response to a detection of the signal, the second image stream including a second setting and a second frame.

Abstract: Techniques related to privacy at display devices are described herein. The techniques include an apparatus having an electroactive privacy layer of a display device. The electroactive privacy layer is configured to restrict a propagation direction of light emission associated with a display layer of the display device. The restriction of propagation is generated by an electric force applied to the electroactive privacy layer.

Abstract: Apparatus and/or methods may provide a substrate and a sensor pattern formed on the substrate based on a visibility level for a touch sensor application. The sensor pattern may include a specified inter-pattern spacing and a specified pattern width to provide the visibility level. For example, the specified inter-pattern spacing may be between about 1 ?m and about 60 ?m and the specified pattern width may be between about 1 ?m and about 250 ?m to provide the visibility level for a touch screen sensor application. The sensor pattern may be included in a periodical repeat of sensor patterns. The sensor pattern may include silver nanowire networks, and may not to be observable by visual inspection.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and/or methods may provide for identifying a face of a user by extracting contour information from images of shadows cast on the face by a facial features illuminated by a controllable source of illumination. The source of illumination may be left, center, and right portions of the light emitting diode (LED) display on a smart phone, tablet, or notebook that has a forward-facing two-dimensional (2D) camera for obtaining the images. In one embodiment, the user is successively photographed under illumination provided using the left, the center, and the right portions of the LED display, providing shadows on the face from which identifying contour information may be extracted and/or determined.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques related to privacy and touch at display devices. The techniques include an apparatus having a touch sensitive electroactive privacy layer of a display device. The touch sensitive electroactive privacy layer is configured to restrict a propagation direction of light emission associated with a display layer of the display device and to register or a touch event. The restriction of propagation is generated by micro louvers formed between privacy layer electrodes in the touch sensitive electroactive privacy layer while the registration of the touch event is detected by mutual capacitance between a touch electrode and one of the privacy layer electrodes.

Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for a headset including a housing and a speaker positioned within the housing and directed toward a region external to the housing such as, for example, an ear canal when the headset is being worn. The headset may also include an ear pressure sensor positioned within the housing and directed toward the same region external to the housing. In one example, a measurement signal is received from the pressure sensor, one or more characteristics of an audio signal are automatically adjusted based on the measurement signal, and the audio signal is transmitted to the speaker.
