  • Publication number: 20230161095
    Abstract: Disinfecting devices (100) can include an electromagnetic wave emitting device (EWE device 110) configured to emit UV radiation (115) and a light guide (120) having a front surface (121). The light guide can be configured to distribute UV radiation received from the EWE device across the front surface and be partially transmissive of visible light. UV radiation received by the light guide and distributed across the front surface can function to disinfect the front surface. The device may be configured such that when positioned between a use device (140) and a user (150), the use device is observable through the disinfection device. Methods for disinfecting may similarly include emitting UV radiation into a light guide, reflecting and diffusing UV radiation within the light guide across the front surface of the light guide thereby disinfecting the front surface; and receiving an interaction with a use device through the disinfection device via the front surface from a user.

  • Publication number: 20210268881
    Abstract: A vehicle display system includes a controller, a display, and a sensor. The controller is configured to be operably disposed on board a vehicle, and the display is configured to be coupled to the controller and to display information to a passenger of the vehicle. The sensor is configured to be coupled to the controller and to detect the passenger when the passenger is in a predetermined area. The controller is configured to change the information displayed by the display responsive to when the sensor detects the passenger in the predetermined area. The system may also include one or more translucent panels (e.g., for a door or window), with the display being attached thereto. The controller may also be configured to control what information is displayed on the display based on vehicle location, speed, mode of operation, etc.

  • Publication number: 20050253777
    Abstract: A tiled electro-optic display (100) comprises a plurality of display units (102) each of which can be individually removed from the display, and a controller (104, 110) arranged to supply drive signals to the plurality of display units (102) and thereby write images thereon, the electro-optic display (100) further comprising means (112) for modifying the drive signals supplied by the controller (104, 110) to reduce variation in electro-optic performance among the plurality of display units (102).
