  • Publication number: 20240103317
    Abstract: The present application discloses a backlight module and a display apparatus with the backlight module. The backlight module includes a substrate, a plurality of light sources, and a plurality of reflectors. The reflectors are arranged on the peripheries of the light sources. The surfaces, facing the light sources, of the reflectors are multi-stage curved surfaces. Light emitted from a side surface of the light source basically emits in the vertical direction after being adjusted by the multi-stage curved surface of the reflector, so as to collimate the light emitted from the light source, prevent the light emitted from the lighted light source on the periphery from irradiating an unlighted area nearby, and prevent light leakage. By using the reflector with this structure, in internal space formed in the reflector, the light in the internal space formed by each reflector is uniform, improving the optical grade of the display apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20240101153
    Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to estimating reachable states for a vehicle using a neural model. In one embodiment, a method includes generating an unverified command by a first controller and a safety command by a second controller for a projected path by an automated driving system (ADS) associated with a vehicle. The method also includes estimating reachable states by a neural network (NN) model that uses the unverified command and an initial condition for the vehicle, the reachable states representing positions and orientations for the vehicle within a bounded time and a state space associated with the initial condition and the projected path. The method also includes, upon determining that the reachable states satisfy collision criteria, executing by the vehicle a maneuver with the safety command for the projected path and generating subsequent commands using vehicle data from the first controller and the second controller.
