  • Patent number: 9779691
    Abstract: An information handling system can include a display for displaying an image and a graphics processing unit. The graphics processing unit can select a display color table based on a display type determined based on extended data identification data for the display, receive an input image into a graphics processing unit, perform image contrast and sharpness calculations on the input image, perform a color optimization using the display color table, and provide an output image to the display.

  • Publication number: 20170219869
    Abstract: A display device with compact integrated structural design in a portable information handling system may have a narrow or no border. The display device with compact integrated structural design may include a combined display assembly that is fixed to an A-cover using selected means of attachment. The combined display assembly may internally integrate a backplate, a backlight, a liquid crystal display (LCD) cell, and a cover glass. The cover glass may be direct bonded to the LCD cell without direct attachment to the A-frame.

  • Patent number: 9720516
    Abstract: A system and method which provide a keyboard with keys which are configured using a viscoelasticity model. More specifically, with the viscoelasticity model at least certain keys within the keyboard include an elastic component and a viscous component. The elastic component provides a component force which occurs substantially immediately upon application of a stress to the key and relaxes substantially immediately upon release of the stress from the key. In this way the elastic component functions similarly to a spring in a mechanical dashpot model key. The viscous component provides a component force which grows with time as long as a stress is applied to the key. In this way, the viscous component functions similarly to a dash in a mechanical dashpot model key.

  • Patent number: 9720451
    Abstract: An information handling system opening, such as at a cable port, selectively closes and opens through inflation and deflation of a seal, such as an expanding balloon structure interfaced with a microfluidic reservoir. The seal fills the opening to block contaminants from entering the information handling system and deflates to provide room for cables to pass when desired. Automated sealing of a port is provided in response to detection of contaminants, such as liquids or dust.

  • Patent number: 9720158
    Abstract: A display in a portable information handling system may have a narrow or no border. A light guide for display light enhancement used to illuminate the display may be formed with concave indentations at a first face that receives light from a light source, such as a string of light emitting diodes. The concave indentations may improve the homogeneity of light transmitted by the light guide. The light guide may further have a light diffusive surface treatment at the first face.

  • Publication number: 20170148393
    Abstract: A multiple backlight display system includes a display device having a light guide device including a plurality of edges. An edge backlight device is located along one of the edges of the light guide device. An array backlight device includes a plurality of array backlight zones that are located between the edges of the light guide device. A computing device receives an image for display on the display device and determines a plurality of brightness zones in the image. The computing device then generates backlight driving information using the plurality of brightness zones and provides the backlight driving information to the display device. The backlight driving information is configured to drive the array backlight device such a first array backlight zone provides light having a first brightness that is different than a second brightness of light that is provided by at least one second array backlight zone.

  • Publication number: 20170124943
    Abstract: An OLED degradation compensation system includes a display system having an OLED display device. A computing device is coupled to the display system and includes an OLED display device adjustment database storing an OLED table that is associated with a usage time of the OLED display device and that includes OLED compensation information that is based upon the usage time. An OLED display device use tracking engine in the computing system determines usage data for the OLED display device. An OLED display device adjustment engine in the computing system retrieves the usage data determined by the OLED display device use tracking engine, uses the usage data to select the OLED table in response to the usage data corresponding to the usage time associated with the OLED table, and causes at least one OLED in the OLED display device to be powered using the OLED compensation information in the OLED table.

  • Publication number: 20170092168
    Abstract: A display for an information handling system includes a first color sub-pixel of a first color type, a second color sub-pixel of a second color type, a third color sub-pixel of a third color type, and a fourth color sub-pixel of the second color type. The first, second, third, and fourth color sub-pixels are placed horizontally adjacent to a color sub-pixel of another type in a row of the display. The first color sub-pixel is located at a first position, the second color sub-pixel is located at a second position, the third color sub-pixel is located at a third position, and the fourth color sub-pixel is located a fourth position of the row.

  • Publication number: 20170069241
    Abstract: A display presents information as visual images with plural pixels, each pixel having red, green and blue OLED films that illuminate with varying intensity defined by pixel values generated by a graphics processor. An image adjuster alters the pixel values for pixels located outside the field of view of an end user so that degradation of OLED material occurs in a balanced manner, such as by reducing illumination of blue OLED material, which tends to degrade at a more rapid rate than red and green OLED material.

  • Patent number: 9558562
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a display for displaying an image and a processor. The processor is configured to receive an input image, determine if a pixel is in an edge region, generate an anti-reflective image by applying an edge preserving blue noise pattern to pixels within the edge region, and applying a mean persevering blue noise pattern to pixels outside of the edge region. The anti-reflective image is provided to the display. When displayed, the anti-reflective image reduces artifacts caused by reflection or glare on the display.

  • Publication number: 20160217766
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a a graphics processing unit and a display with a timing controller. The graphics processing unit can receive an input image comprising three color values for pixels of the input image, and map the pixels of the input image to pixels of the display. The graphics processing unit can provide three-color sub-pixel values to the timing controller, and the timing controller can perform a color calibration of the image using three dimensional look up tables to produce four-color sub-pixel values. Alternatively, the graphics processing unit can perform the color calibration and provide the four-color sub-pixel values to the timing controller. In another alternative, the graphics processing unit can perform the color calibration and provide the timing controller with three-color sub-pixel values, and the timing controller can generate four-color sub-pixel values from the combination of the three-color sub-pixel values and a chrominance value.

  • Publication number: 20160133221
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a display, a gaze detector that determines a location on the display that corresponding with where a user is looking at the display, and a processor. The processor receives the location from the gaze detector, determines a non-power-reduced portion of the display that includes the location, determines a power-reduced portion of the display that is exclusive of the non-power-reduced portion, receives data associated with a pixel of an image included in the power-reduced portion, changes the data such that a first power level consumed by the display when displaying the pixel with the changed data is less than a second power level consumed by the display when displaying the pixel with the unchanged data, and sends the changed data to the display.
