  • Patent number: 11917888
    Abstract: Cameras are located within the display area of a display. In-display cameras allow for thinner display bezels. In-display cameras allow for the creation of ultra-high resolution images. The ability to capture an object from multiple perspectives allows for holographic image recording and playback. Multiple views of an image can be captured with varying depths of focus, allowing an image's depth of field to be adjusted during post processing. In-display cameras can also be used for user authentication, touch detection and three-dimensional gesture recognition. Thermal sensors located within the display area allow for control of the display temperature, improved control over system performance, and compensation for micro-LED degradation that can occur due to aging or increased temperature. Microlens assemblies located above pixels can adjust the viewing cone angle of the display or a portion of the display and microassemblies located under individual pixels or pixel arrays can adjust a viewing angle.

  • Publication number: 20230125348
    Abstract: Dynamically modifiable air movers can be modified during operation of a computing system to allow the performance of the fan (air flow, air flow split between exhausts) to be adjusted based on a workload being performed by the system. The physical modifications that an air mover can undergo are physical in nature and include adjusting the placement of one or more cutwaters, expanding or contracting an expandable portion of the fan housing, covering or uncovering an exhaust to provide or remove cooling to memory components, and moving a slidable strip to extend or withdraw from an exhaust. Causing one or more of these physical modifications to be made can be performed in response to the system determining that a temperature, rate of temperature change, power consumption level, rate of power consumption level change of the system or system components exceeds or has dropped below a threshold level.

  • Publication number: 20200019217
    Abstract: An electronic device has a body with a first portion (e.g., a lid) and a second portion (e.g., a base). The first portion includes magnets, while the second portion includes attractive elements that the magnets are attracted to. The first and second portions may be coupled together with hinges. The force of magnetic attraction between the magnets and the attractive elements maintain the body in a closed configuration at certain orientations of the body (e.g., at certain angles that the body is tilted relative to an axis in the direction of the Earth's gravity). When the body is positioned at a threshold angle with respect to the axis in the direction of the Earth's gravity, a separating force acting on the (first or second) portion of the body that is closer to the Earth becomes greater than the force of magnetic attraction, causing the portions to separate and the body to be in an open configuration.
