  • Publication number: 20240347496
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an electronic unit, an encapsulation layer surrounding the electronic unit, a circuit structure electrically connected to the electronic unit and a bonding component. The circuit structure includes a first metal layer electrically connected to the electronic unit, a first dielectric layer disposed on the first metal layer and having an opening and a second metal layer disposed in the opening. The bonding component overlaps the second metal layer, and at least partially disposed in the opening. In cross-sectional view, a first height between a first dielectric layer top surface and a first metal layer top surface is greater than a second height between a second metal layer top surface and the first metal layer top surface. A difference between the first height and the second height is greater than or equal to 1 ?m and less than or equal to 15 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20240332158
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a chip, a redistribution structure, a contact pad, a buffer layer, and a first connection pad. The redistribution structure is electrically connected to the chip. The redistribution structure includes a metal pad, and the metal pad is disposed opposite to the chip. The contact pad is disposed on the metal pad. The buffer layer is disposed on the redistribution structure and includes an opening. The opening exposes at least a portion of the contact pad. The first connection pad is disposed on the contact pad and extends in the opening. Moreover, in a normal direction of the chip, the metal pad, the contact pad and the first connection pad overlap. A method of manufacturing an electronic device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240297166
    Abstract: An integrated circuit package and a method of forming the same are provided. The method includes attaching an integrated circuit die to a first substrate. A dummy die is formed. The dummy die is attached to the first substrate adjacent the integrated circuit die. An encapsulant is formed over the first substrate and surrounding the dummy die and the integrated circuit die. The encapsulant, the dummy die and the integrated circuit die are planarized, a topmost surface of the encapsulant being substantially level with a topmost surface of the dummy die and a topmost surface of the integrated circuit die. An interior portion of the dummy die is removed. A remaining portion of the dummy die forms an annular structure.

  • Publication number: 20230386417
    Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

  • Patent number: 11054886
    Abstract: A system of reducing power consumed by a large screen display panel may comprise a display divided into a plurality of segments. A gaze tracker identifies a gaze region where a viewer(s) is looking to increase a refresh rate for segments identified in the gaze region with relation to segments outside of the gaze region. The shading rate of segments outside of the gaze region may also be lowered to save even more power.

  • Patent number: 11051038
    Abstract: An embodiment of an electronic processing system may include a 2D frame which corresponds to a projection of a 360 video space, and a component predictor to predict an encode component for a first block of a 2D frame based on encode information from a neighboring block which is neighboring to the first block of the 2D frame only in the 360 video space, a prioritizer to prioritize transmission for a second block of the 2D frame based on an identified region of interest, and/or a format detector to detect a 360 video format of the 2D frame based on image content. A 360 video capture device may include a contextual tagger to tag 360 video content with contextual information which is contemporaneous with the captured 360 video content. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
