  • Patent number: 9300887
    Abstract: An image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a signal generation unit, and a feedback unit. The photoelectric conversion unit is formed above a substrate and detects incident light to generate photo-charges based on a drive voltage. The signal generation unit is formed on the substrate and generates an analog signal based on the photo-charges. The feedback unit generates the drive voltage based on an amount of the photo-charges generated from the photoelectric conversion unit. The image sensor may perform a wide dynamic range (WDR) function.

  • Patent number: 8704732
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for controlling a plurality of displays to present an image split across the displays. For example, a host controller is described herein. The host controller receives, from a first display, a first display status that indicates a status of presentation of a first portion of an image by the first display and, from a second display a second display status that indicates a status of presentation of a second portion of the image by the second display. The host controller may compare the first and second display status and, in response to the comparison, communicate to at least one of the first and second displays a display adjustment configured to cause the respective display to adjust presentation of at least one of the first or second portion of the image.
