To make a display device inconspicuous. A display system includes a base and a display device attached to the base. The display device includes a plurality of inorganic light emitters arrayed in a matrix with a row-column configuration and a surface layer. The surface layer is provided in a traveling direction of light emitted from the inorganic light emitters with respect to the inorganic light emitters and includes a plurality of transmission parts and a blocking part. The transmission parts are provided in a matrix with a row-column configuration so as to overlap the inorganic light emitters when viewed from the traveling direction of the light and allow the light from the inorganic light emitters to pass therethrough. The blocking part blocks the light from the inorganic light emitters. The inorganic light emitters are provided overlapping the transmission parts provided to the surface layer.

In some examples, a display comprises a first side, where the first side comprises a first portion of pixels that emit light to the first side of the display and a second portion of pixels, where a first subset of the second portion of pixels emit light to the first side of the display, and a second side comprising a second subset of the second portion of pixels that emit light to the second side of the display, where the first portion of pixels has a pixel density and the second portion of pixels has a pixel density.

The disclosed embodiments generally relate to a method, system and apparatus for forming a custom-sized display panel. An exemplary method to form a custom display from a large sheet of pixels includes: providing a sheet of pixels having a TFT substrate, a liquid crystal layer and a second substrate, the sheet of pixels having a first perimeter, the liquid crystal medium interposed between the TFT substrate and the second substrate; forming a display panel from the sheet of pixels, the display panel having a display panel perimeter, the second display having a first edge defined by the TFT substrate extending beyond the second substrate to thereby expose an electrical trace on the TFT substrate; sealing the liquid crystal layer on the first edge; conductively exposing the electrical trace on the TFT substrate; and forming a column driver line on the TFT substrate to communicate a driver signal to the second display.

A tintable window is described having a tintable coating, e.g., an electrochromic device coating, for regulating light transmitted through the window. In some embodiments, the window has a transparent display in the window's viewable region. Transparent displays may be substantially transparent when not in use, or when the window is viewed in a direction facing away from the transparent display. Windows may have sensors for receiving user commands and/or for monitoring environmental conditions. Transparent displays can display graphical user interfaces to, e.g., control window functions. Windows, as described herein, offer an alternative display to conventional projectors, TVs, and monitors. Windows may also be configured to receive, transmit, or block wireless communications from passing through the window. A window control system may share computational resources between controllers (e.g., at different windows). In some cases, the computational resources of the window control system are utilized by other building systems and devices.

An image display device includes a panel in a curved surface shape that lets through and reflects light, a first display unit that displays a first image based on first image data that reaches a predetermined position through the panel, a second display unit that displays a second image based on second image data that is reflected by the panel and reaches the predetermined position, a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information indicating a position of an actual viewpoint of an observer, and an image processing unit that determines a scaling factor of the second image data for each scan line based on the position information and performs a scaling process for each scan line on the second image data to be inputted to the second display unit.

An operation method for virtually partitioning a display panel includes establishing a plurality of first links between a plurality of transmitter and a receiver, establishing a second link between the receiver and a central controller, acquiring quantity data of the plurality of transmitter by the central controller, generating an operational interface by virtually partitioning the display panel by the central controller according to the quantity data, and controlling the receiver for operating a transmitter to executing at least one operational function by the central controller through the second link and a first link or directly controlling the transmitter to executing the at least one operational function by the central controller through a third link when a virtual key corresponding to the transmitter displayed on the operational interface generated by the central controller is triggered.

A robotic mount is configured to move an entertainment element such as a sound-generating speaker. The robotic mount is moveable in multiple degrees of freedom, whereby the associated entertainment element is moveable in three-dimensional space. In one embodiment, a system of entertainment elements are made to move and operate synchronously with each other, such via multiple robotic mounts.

Disclosed herein are methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media relating to formation of acoustic conditioning and acoustic mapping of an enclosure using sound sensor(s) and emitter(s).

Resources of a system for controlling optically switchable windows may be used for a personal computing unit. The window system resources may include (i) a display associated with an optically switchable window, (ii) one or more processors of one or more controllers on a window network connected to a plurality of optically switchable windows in a building, wherein the one or more controllers are configured to vary tint states of the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, (iii) memory of one or more controllers on the window network connected to the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, and/or (iv) at least a part of the window network.
