  • Patent number: 10350634
    Abstract: Methods for modifying contours of substrate surfaces are disclosed. Methods include depositing filler material on a critical mating surface of a substrate so as to render the mating surface more mateable with a matching substrate. The filler material can be deposited within or around features or defects on the mating surface such that a final desired surface contour is achieved. In some cases, the final surface contour of the mating surface is planar. This can prevent gaps associated with the features or defects from forming between the substrate and the matching substrate when they are joined together. The final surface contour of the mating surface can be determined by comparing dimensions of the mating surface to dimensions of a reference surface. In some cases, ink jet printing techniques are used to deposit the filler material accurately in prescribed locations and with precise thickness control.

  • Patent number: 10302988
    Abstract: The display apparatus includes an optical sheet provided between a display panel and direct type light sources, and an inner chassis (support body) 4 having a frame-shape which supports the back surface of peripheral edge parts of the display panel. A light shielding member is provided over an entire periphery of the display panel at the back side of the peripheral edge part thereof. An outer frame part of the light shielding member is sandwiched between the display panel and the inner chassis, and an inner frame part of the light shielding member is sandwiched between the display panel and the optical sheet. Light passing through the optical sheet is shielded by the light shielding member even when trying to be leaked to an outside from the polarizing plate, such that the light is not leaked due to being shielded by the light shielding member. Therefore, the light is prevented from entering the peripheral edge part of the display panel, and an occurrence of light leakage is prevented.

  • Patent number: 10304922
    Abstract: An array substrate and a wearable device are provided. The array substrate includes a base substrate. A first surface of the base substrate is provided with a plurality of first signal lines having a concentric arc shape and a plurality of second signal lines linearly arranged along a radial direction of the first signal lines. A first driving circuit connected to the respective first signal lines is provided on the first surface or a second surface of the base substrate and a second driving circuit connected to the respective second signal lines is provided on the first surface or a second surface of the base substrate. In the array substrate, since the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit are both positioned within a display region, the screen proportion of the display region is improved, thereby achieving a narrow bezel design or even bezel-free design for the wearable device.

  • Patent number: 10302947
    Abstract: A head mounted display device comprises an optical combiner that combines light from a display and light from an environment into light transmitted towards a user's eye. A controllable optical element located in the light path from the environment, optically between the environment and the optical combiner, for passing light from the environment switchable between filtering and not filtering by optical blurring or diffusion. The device comprises a camera directed at the environment. A control circuit uses image data from the camera to compute a measure of contrast and/or a measure of luminance in a measurement region within an image or images captured by the camera and applies a control signal to the control input dependent on the measure of contrast and/or the measure of luminance. This is used to create or increase the filtering effect of controllable optical element with an increase of the measure of contrast and/or the measure of luminance.
