Patent number: 8416210Abstract: An image display including a touch-sensitive display, that creates tactile sensation and movement of an object (3-2) along its surface is provided. Actuators including conductive rods (4-111, 4-112) attached together may be used, such that each rod of the actuator (4-11) may increase or decrease in size when current is applied to that rod to cause the actuator to bend toward a specified direction. Also, an image display that includes ball bearings (1-10) whose rotation is controlled by driving magnets (1-21, 1-22) to cause an object to move is provided. Further, air holes (3-11) tilted in various directions to control object movement by air pressure may be provided. Moreover, rods (3-10) may be moved up or down as activated by driving magnets (2-20). The actuators, rods, ball bearing assemblies, or holes may provide touch sensitivity for the image display.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V.Inventors: Nicolas De Jong, Elmo Marcus Attila Diederiks, Murray Fulton Gillies, Jurgen Jean Louis Hoppenbrouwers, Johannes Henricus Maria Korst, Thomas Casper Kraan, Rogier Winters

Publication number: 20080158144Abstract: A scanning display apparatus (10) is described. The apparatus (10) includes a display (70) operable: (I) to receive driver signals and generate corresponding visual information for presentation on the display (70); and (ii) to sense radiation received at the display (70) and generating corresponding sensing signals corresponding to a region proximate to the display. The apparatus (10) also includes computer hardware (80) coupled to the display (70) for generating the one or more driver signals for the display (70) and for receiving the one or more sensing signals from the display (70), the computer hardware (80) being operable to provide an interactive user interface (ULI) at the display (70). The display (70) comprises an array of pixel devices (150), each such device (150) integrally being operable to emit radiation therefrom or transmit radiation therethrough, and also to sense radiation incident thereupon. Preferably, the pixel devices (150) are implemented in polyLEDs and/or LCD/TFT technologies.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2005Publication date: July 3, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Daniel Willem Elisabeth Schobben, Murray Fulton Gillies, Declan Patrick Kelly, Elmo Marcus Attila Diederiks, Jurgen Jean Louis Hoppenbrouwers, Nicolas De Jong, Johannes Henricus Maria Korst, Thomas Caspar Kraan, Adrianus Sempel, Rogier Winters

Publication number: 20080094689Abstract: A full color high brightness reflective display (200, 250, 300, 350) is formed from individual multifaced pyramid-like reflectors (400, 450, 500, 600, 725, 800). Each face (410, 420, 460, 470 510, 520, 610, 620, 730, 740, 810, 820) of the reflector specularly reflects two of the three primary colors of incident light (461, 481, 581, 661, 781, 861), and can be controlled to either reflect, diffusely or specularly, or absorb the other primary color, thereby controlling a color of reflected light (462, 482, 582, 662, 782, 862). A liquid crystal layer (415, 425, 465, 475) may be used at each face, with a polarization filter (480) at the entrance to the reflector, or combined with the layer. An electro wetting cell (514, 524) or an electrophoretic layer (615, 625) may also be used. A deposition layer formed by reversible metal deposition may be used. A movable, dynamic foil mechanism (850) may also be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2005Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Ramon Van Gorkom, Siebe De Zwart, Volker Schollmann, Ruediger Lange, Yvonne Kruijt-Stegeman, Rogier Winters
