The present disclosure facilitates the establishment of near field communication with a mobile terminal while also preventing malfunctions and an increase in burden of maintenance. A display apparatus (10) includes: at least one antenna (140) for carrying out near field communication with a mobile terminal (20), the at least one antenna being provided so as to positionally overlap with a display section (160). In a case where the mobile terminal comes into proximity to the display section, the display section is caused to display a guide for bringing the mobile terminal in proximity to at least one of the at least one antenna.

A method for modular display frame is provided. The method includes the following steps. A number of display devices are combined to form a composite screen. A directional code including a number of positioning marks is displayed on each display device. The directional code displayed on each display device is scanned. Orientation information of each display device is obtained. A unique pattern is displayed on each display device. The composite screen is captured to generate a first image. Spatial location information of each display device is obtained from the first image. A number of display parameters corresponding to the display devices are calculated according to the orientation information and the spatial location information of the display devices. The display parameters are transmitted to the display devices. Each display device displays a regional frame according to the display parameters of the corresponding display device.

A display device (1) includes a screen (3), at least one sensor, and a processing unit (6) configured to manage content displayed on the screen (3) based on information received from the at least one sensor. The device (1) is configured to detect the presence of one or more user in the vicinity of the device (1) and display content, such as advertisements, on the screen based on information received from the sensors. A plurality of display devices may be interconnected to form a composite display system. The device/system may further use sensors to determine information/advertising content relevant to the demographic of the user(s).

A tile display device includes element display devices, each including an element display panel which defines a display area and a panel driver disposed on a seam area surrounding the display area, and a coupling display device disposed on element display devices and coupled to the element display devices at neighboring seam areas. The coupling display device includes a boundary display panel on the neighboring seam areas, a coupler which couples the boundary display panel to the element display panels to provide a coupling panel structure, a boundary driver which drives the boundary display panel and a signal control center which drives the coupling panel structure.

A screen control system includes a source controller, a plurality of serial units, a plurality of forward channels and a plurality of feedback channels. The plurality of serial units are coupled in series, coupled to the source controller, and configured to control a display screen. Each of the forward channels is coupled between two of the plurality of serial units or between one of the plurality of serial units and the source controller. The plurality of forward channels are configured to forward a video data and a command to the plurality of serial units from the source controller. Each of the feedback channels is coupled between two of the plurality of serial units or between one of the plurality of serial units and the source controller. The plurality of feedback channels are configured to forward a feedback data to the source controller from one of the plurality of serial units.

A collaborative computing device group operative under a shared multiple discrete desktop user interface is established from a first desktop of a first computing device and a different discrete desktop of a second computing device physically located in user visual proximity to the first computing device. A color-coded graphical representation of a user-interface control port that allows authorized cursor navigation to and from the second computing device is displayed on the first desktop oriented in a respective direction of the second computing device. A cursor of the second computing device is authorized to migrate, under control of a user of the second computing device, from the different discrete desktop through the color-coded graphical representation of the user-interface control port of the second computing device to the first desktop and the first computing device is controlled in accordance with visual navigation and control of the cursor of the second computing device.

A display device (10) includes: an integrated control unit (31) that allows selection from among at least a high-luminance mode and a luminance-unevenness-suppression-preferred mode in accordance with an input instruction; and an unevenness correction unit (36) that performs color unevenness correction for each pixel in both the high-luminance mode and the luminance-unevenness-suppression-preferred mode. In the luminance-unevenness-suppression-preferred mode, the unevenness correction unit (36) performs a pixel value limitation process for uniformly shifting, for each pixel, a pixel value in image data to a lower pixel value to thereby decrease the pixel value to a pixel value lower than that in the high-luminance mode, and thereafter, performs the color unevenness correction. Accordingly, even if the use of the display device varies, image processing that is appropriate for various uses is implemented.

Complementary near-field and far-field light field displays (LFDs) are provided. A distributed LFD system is disclosed in which the light field is cooperatively displayed by a direct view LFD and a near-eye LFD. The two display components of the system work together synchronously to display a high-fidelity 3D experience to one or multiple viewers.

A system and method for sharing information amongst user display devices, such as cell phones, smart phones, tablet computers, or other devices with an electronically controllable screen or display, in a peer to peer (P2P) network, to display one image or video across the totality of all of the display devices, regardless of where the display devices are positioned or how they are oriented relative to each other, and a system and method for identifying the exact position and orientation of each display device.

Systems and methods for reducing distractions from nearby devices when content susceptible to interruption is being consumed. Content susceptible to interruption is determined, and when this content is consumed on one device, nearby devices are identified and their output characteristics are modified. For example, output volume of nearby devices may be reduced, or the volume of the first device may be increased. This process is repeated with different devices as they each output content determined to be susceptible to interruption. Consumers are thus presented with fewer distractions from surrounding devices while they are consuming content that is susceptible to interruption.
