  • Video conferencing display and method to facilitate enhanced eye contact
    Patent number: 8890919
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes an illumination source that provides light across a surface area of a front panel of the display apparatus. A control system is configured to control the illumination source to increase an intensity of the light for a local region of a front panel of the display apparatus relative to an intensity of the light from the illumination source for at least an adjacent region of the front panel that is adjacent to the local region. The local region of the front panel corresponds to a location for a partial mirror at the front panel.
