  • Publication number: 20240430621
    Abstract: A vibration damping loudspeaker includes a sound-generating unit, a magnetic member, an assembly-auxiliary frame and dampers. Aligning units of the assembly-auxiliary frame are coupled to positioning units of the sound-generating unit. The dampers are symmetrically disposed between the magnetic member and the assembly-auxiliary frame. The sound-generating unit and the magnetic member can be quickly and easily mounted in place because of the assembly-auxiliary frame to not only enhance the production yield of the vibration damping loudspeaker but also allow the dampers to function as a buffer between the sound-generating unit and the magnetic member, so as to achieve vibration damping and vibration isolation during the operation of the vibration damping loudspeaker to spare users the discomfort they will otherwise experience for using electronic devices.

  • Publication number: 20240428502
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may render different content layers that present different classes of content. The different classes of content may have different characteristics. As an example, a first class of content may be static content whereas a second class of content may be dynamic content. The different characteristics of each class of content may be leveraged to use a hybrid approach for content processing. The hybrid content processing may take advantage of different layers needing to be updated at different frequencies and may take advantage of sparse content in some of the layers.

  • Publication number: 20240404461
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using an optical crosstalk compensation (OXTC) block to compensate for optical crosstalk resulted from a combination of viewing angle change across field of view (FoV), color filter (CF) crosstalk, and the OLED various angle color shift (VACS) of a foveated electronic display. One or more two-dimensional (2D) OXTC factor maps are used to determine OXTC factors for input image data of the OXTC block, and the OXTC factors are updated on a per frame basis. Offset values are determined using a parallel architecture and used to determine the OXTC factors. Compensation weights are used to determine weighted OXTC factors to improve processing efficiency. Output image data are obtained by applying the weighted OXTC factors to the input image data.

  • Publication number: 20240394952
    Abstract: A mixed reality system that includes a device and a base station that communicate via a wireless connection The device may include sensors that collect information about the user's environment and about the user. The information collected by the sensors may be transmitted to the base station via the wireless connection. The base station renders frames or slices based at least in part on the sensor information received from the device, encodes the frames or slices, and transmits the compressed frames or slices to the device for decoding and display. The base station may provide more computing power than conventional stand-alone systems, and the wireless connection does not tether the device to the base station as in conventional tethered systems. The system may implement methods and apparatus to maintain a target frame rate through the wireless link and to minimize latency in frame rendering, transmittal, and display.

  • Patent number: 12148370
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display and an optical sensor formed underneath the display. The electronic device may include a plurality of transparent windows that overlap the optical sensor. The resolution of the display panel may be reduced in some areas due to the presence of the transparent windows. To prevent a visible border between the reduced resolution areas of the display and full resolution areas of the display, uniformity compensation circuitry may be used to compensate pixel data. The uniformity compensation circuitry may output compensated pixel data for the display using one or more compensation maps that include compensation factors associated with pixel locations. The uniformity compensation circuitry may also use region-specific gamma look-up tables to apply different gamma curves to pixels in different regions of the display. The uniformity compensation circuitry may also be used to form a transition region between different regions of the display.

  • Patent number: 12112663
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. To mitigate jaggedness in a curved edge of the active area, control circuitry may modify input pixel data for the display using dimming factors. Each brightness value of the pixel data may be multiplied by a corresponding dimming factor such that the curved edge has a smooth appearance. Each physical pixel in the display may have an associated perceived pixel that is based on an appearance of that physical pixel through the lenticular lens film. The perceived pixel may have a different footprint than its corresponding physical pixel. The dimming factors for boundary smoothing in the curved edges may be based on the perceived pixels.

  • Publication number: 20240303768
    Abstract: An electronic device uses a multidimensional (e.g., 3D) scaler to process multiple-viewing-angle (e.g., 3D-aware) images by resampling each view image and processing image data of each view image according to a view map to change resolution or improve perceived image quality. After being processed, each view image of the multiple-viewing-angle image is used to rebuild a final processed multiple-viewing-angle (e.g., 3D-aware image) with all views for displaying on the electronic device.
