20100013794 | LIGHT SENSITIVE DISPLAY WITH MULTIPLE DATA SET OBJECT DETECTION - A display device including a surface for viewing an image comprising a stack of layers configured to display the image and a first and second set of light sensitive elements included in the stack. The first set of light sensitive elements is configured to provide a first data set corresponding to an object on or near the surface based on a first sensitivity to light. The second set of light sensitive elements is configured to provide a second data set corresponding to the object on or near the surface based on a second sensitivity to light. One of the first and the second data sets is selected and a location of the object on or near the surface is determined based on the selected data set. | 01-21-2010 |
20100013796 | LIGHT SENSITIVE DISPLAY WITH OBJECT DETECTION CALIBRATION - A system comprising a stack of layers configured to display an image and including multiple elements configured to sense light. The system is configured to obtain a first reference image based on output from the multiple elements in a dark lighting condition associated with the system, and calibrate object detection based on output from the multiple elements using the obtained reference image. Additionally, a system comprising a display having a stack of layers configured to display an image and including a first and second set of elements. Each of the elements in the first set is configured to sense light, and each of the elements in the second set is configured to sense a dark current. The system is configured to perform object detection based on output from the elements in the first set, and calibrate the object detection based on output from the elements in the second set. | 01-21-2010 |
20100020044 | LIGHT SENSITIVE DISPLAY WITH SWITCHABLE DETECTION MODES - A display device including a surface for viewing an image comprising a stack of layers configured to display the image. A processor is configured to include switchable detection modes. Each mode is preconfigured to detect an object on or near the surface based on a given sensitivity to light, and has a different sensitivity than other of the modes. | 01-28-2010 |
20100059296 | Light sensitive display - A light sensitive display. | 03-11-2010 |
20100302419 | IMAGE SENSOR WITH PHOTOSENSITIVE THIN FILM TRANSISTORS AND DARK CURRENT COMPENSATION - An image sensor array includes image sensors having photo TFTs to generate photocurrent in response to received images. The photo TFTs each have their respective gate electrodes and source electrodes independently biased to reduce the effects of dark current. Storage capacitors are coupled to each photo TFT and discharged upon generation of a photocurrent. Each storage capacitor is coupled to a readout TFT that passes a current from the storage capacitor to a data line. The photo TFT may be disposed above the storage capacitor to increase the exposed surface area of the photo TFT. | 12-02-2010 |
20110157094 | INFRARED SENSOR INTEGRATED IN A TOUCH PANEL - An infrared source is configured to illuminate the underside of one or more objects on or above a touchable surface of a touch panel. Infrared light reflected from the underside of the object(s) is detected by an infrared sensor integrated in the touch panel below the touchable surface. | 06-30-2011 |
20110169779 | INFRARED SENSOR INTEGRATED IN A TOUCH PANEL - An infrared source is configured to illuminate the underside of one or more objects on or above a touchable surface of a touch panel. Infrared light reflected from the underside of the object(s) is detected by an infrared sensor integrated in the touch panel below the touchable surface. | 07-14-2011 |
