Abstract:

A curved display for an electronic device, comprises a main substrate, a display circuit component, an OLED stack and a secondary substrate. The main substrate has a first curved section extending from a first end of the main substrate and a longitudinally adjacent second planar section extending to define a second end of the main substrate opposite the first end. The first curved section comprises at least one flat glass member bent into a curved configuration, and the second planar section comprises a flat segment of the flat glass member. The display circuit component is mounted to an upper surface of the second planar section, the display circuit component being positioned within and spaced from edges of the second planar section. The OLED stack is positioned over the first curved section. The secondary substrate comprises a flat glass member bent into a curved configuration and secured to the first curved section of the main substrate with the OLED stack positioned between the first curved section of the main substrate and the secondary substrate.

International Classification:

G09G 3/34
G09G 3/36

Abstract:

An electronic device includes a backlight unit and a liquid crystal layer adjacent the backlight unit. The backlight unit has a plurality of planar emission devices distributed over a viewable display area. The plurality of planar emission devices are disposed in a configurable zone arrangement having a plurality of zones of the viewable area. Each zone includes at least one planar emission device. The liquid crystal layer is configured to selectively filter light generated by the plurality of planar emission devices. The electronic device further includes a processor coupled to the backlight unit and configured to control a brightness level of the at least one planar emission device in each zone separately from other planar emission devices in other zones.

Appl. No.:

14/465000

Inventors:

Cynthia Bell - Kirkland WA, US

International Classification:

G09G 5/10
G02B 27/01

Abstract:

The technology provides a dimming module for a near-eye display (NED) device that controls an amount of ambient light that passes through the transmissive near-eye display to a user. The dimming module includes at least one electrochromic cell that enables variable density dimming so that the NED device may be used in an augmented reality (AR) and/or virtual reality (VR) application. The electrochromic cell may be a monochrome electrochromic cell having stacked layers of, a monochrome electrochromic compound layer and insulator sandwiched between a pair of transparent substrates and conductors. A current may be applied to the conductor layers to control the amount of dimming in response to a dimming value. A NED device having a dimming module may be included in a visor, or other type of head-mounted display (HMD). The dimming module may be flat and supported by a flat waveguide mount in the user's field of view.
