  • Publication number: 20230349226
    Abstract: A visibility control device includes one or more light sources to provide input light, a waveguiding substrate, which has a first major surface and a second major surface, and a plurality of light-deflecting grooves implemented on at least one major surface of the substrate. The device is arranged to form guided light by coupling the input light into the substrate, The grooves are arranged to form deflected light by coupling the guided light out of the substrate through the second major surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220361794
    Abstract: A dry electrode for biometric measurement on a skin and a method for manufacturing are disclosed. The dry electrode has a substrate forming the scaffold of the dry electrode. The substrate has metal or semiconductor material; an electrically conductive film on a first surface of the substrate; and an attaching element for attaching the dry electrode. The electrically conductive film is directly deposited on the first surface of the substrate. The electrically conductive film is a graphene film.

  • Patent number: 11409030
    Abstract: A masking device disposed over a display has a first viewing region, a second viewing region, a first operating mode, and a second operating mode, wherein in the first operating mode the masking device allows a first observer located in the first viewing region to observe information displayed on the display, and also allows a second observer located in the second viewing region to observe the displayed information, wherein in the second operating mode the masking device projects light to the second viewing region so as to prevent the second observer from observing the displayed information.
