  • Patent number: 12205534
    Abstract: Certain display types—such as organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays—may be more prone to burn-in or ghosting due to the varied luminance degradation rates of pixel cells of the display—especially in applications or content types that require display of prolonged, continuous, static textures. To account for this, aging of pixel cells (e.g., R, G, B, and/or W pixel cells) of a display may be tracked such that more aged pixel cells may be compensated for by reducing pixel values of one or more (e.g., each) other pixel cells of the display. As a result, the effect of burn-in or ghosting may be mitigated by tracking luminance degradation over time and compensating for the luminance degradation across some or all of the pixel cells of the display.

  • Patent number: 11874541
    Abstract: A switchable privacy display comprises an emissive SLM, a parallax barrier, a switchable LC retarder, and passive retarders arranged between parallel output polarisers. In privacy mode, on-axis light from the SLM is directed without loss, whereas the parallax barrier and retarder layers cooperate to increase the VSL to off-axis snoopers. The display may be rotated to achieve privacy operation in landscape and portrait orientations. In public mode, the LC retardance is adjusted so that off-axis luminance is increased so that the image visibility is increased for multiple users. The display may also switch between day-time and night-time operation, for example for use in an automotive environment. A low reflectivity emissive display for use in ambient illumination comprises a SLM with emissive pixels, an absorptive parallax barrier and a high spectral leakage optical isolator. Head-on light from the pixels is directed with increased transmission efficiency while ambient light is strongly absorbed.
