Patent number: 9147233Abstract: Display apparatus, multi display system, and control method are provided. The display apparatus which comprises a display unit displaying an image, the display apparatus include: a storing unit in which information about a maximum resolution of the display unit is stored; a signal processing unit which captures an area of an input image signal of a high resolution, and processes the captured image signal to enable the display unit to display the input image signal if the input image signal has a resolution higher than the maximum resolution of the display unit stored in the storing unit; and an output unit which outputs the image signal input to the signal processing unit to an outside. With this, display apparatus, a multi media system and a control method thereof are capable of displaying an input image signal having resolution higher than a maximum resolution of a display unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventor: Kyoung-oh Choi

Patent number: 9106575Abstract: An integrated circuit with two operating modes is described. During a first operating mode, a de-multiplexer selectively couples information received via a common set of pads to first control logic, which decodes the information based on a first serial-interface technique. Moreover, during a second operating mode, the de-multiplexer selectively couples a first portion of the information to the first control logic and a second portion of the information to second control logic, which decodes the second portion based on a second serial-interface technique. By facilitating time-domain de-multiplexing of two similar serial-interface techniques, the integrated circuit can overcome the constraints imposed by a low or limited pin count.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Thomas J. Wilson, Yutaka Hori

Patent number: 9077986Abstract: An improved method and/or system to generate depth data for a 2D image for subsequent display on an MLD or other volumetric display. A multi-layered display (MLD) includes first and second display layers with one said display layer overlapping the other said display layer. The first display layer displays a first image and a second display layer displays a second image. The second image is synchronised with said first image such that an alteration of at least one image property of said first image triggers an alteration of at least one image property of said second image.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: PURE DEPTH LIMITEDInventor: Darryl Singh

Publication number: 20150130686Abstract: A cascaded display includes multiple transmitting elements which may include superimposed transparent display panels and backlighting elements. Combinations of different display panels may be used for different types of data, e.g., a persistent data panel and a non-persistent data panel to provide more uniform luminosity at any given point in time. Backlighting may be used to alter the color in which the displayed data is perceived by a viewer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2013Publication date: May 14, 2015Applicant: Bose CorporationInventor: Mark R. Hickman
