A display module and system applications including a display module are described. The display module may include a display substrate including a front surface, a back surface, and a display area on the front surface. A plurality of interconnects extend through the display substrate from the front surface to the back surface. An array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are in the display area and electrically connected with the plurality of interconnects, and one or more driver circuits are on the back surface of the display substrate. Exemplary system applications include wearable, rollable, and foldable displays.

An intuitive interface may allow users of a computing device (e.g., children, etc.) to create imaginary three dimensional (3D) objects of any shape using body gestures performed by the users as a primary or only input. A user may make motions while in front of an imaging device that senses movement of the user. The interface may allow first-person and/or third person interaction during creation of objects, which may map a body of a user to a body of an object presented by a display. In an example process, the user may start by scanning an arbitrary body gesture into an initial shape of an object. Next, the user may perform various gestures using his body, which may result in various edits to the object. After the object is completed, the object may be animated, possibly based on movements of the user.

Various embodiments for detecting and rejecting false, unintended rotations of rotary inputs of electronic devices are disclosed herein. In one example, an electronic device is provided with an optical detector that measures the distance between the electronic device and the wearer's forearm or hand, and when the distance is smaller than a threshold distance, the turns of the rotary input are false, unintended turns. In another example, a crown of a rotary input includes a plurality of capacitive sensors that detects the presence of a wearer's finger, which when absent, the turns of the rotary input are false turns. In another example, deflections or positions of a shaft of the rotary input are measured and if the deflections/positions indicate an upward force on the rotary input (which are likely caused by the wearer's forearm or hand), the turns of the rotary input are false turns. Other embodiments are described herein.

A method of configuring a screen of an electronic device is provided. The method includes acquiring a distance between the electronic device and an object for performing an input into the electronic device, and displaying at least one of an input screen and an output screen on a display of the electronic device based on the acquired distance.

The technology disclosed relates to enhancing the fields of view of one or more cameras of a gesture recognition system for augmenting the three-dimensional (3D) sensory space of the gesture recognition system. The augmented 3D sensory space allows for inclusion of previously uncaptured of regions and points for which gestures can be interpreted i.e. blind spots of the cameras of the gesture recognition system. Some examples of such blind spots include areas underneath the cameras and/or within 20-85 degrees of a tangential axis of the cameras. In particular, the technology disclosed uses a Fresnel prismatic element and/or a triangular prism element to redirect the optical axis of the cameras, giving the cameras fields of view that cover at least 45 to 80 degrees from tangential to the vertical axis of a display screen on which the cameras are mounted.

Systems, devices, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for receiving data input via touch-free gestures and movements. For example, a data input device includes at least one processor for receiving information from a sensor, The processor may be configured to receive sensor data from the sensor of a user's hand spaced a distance from a displayed keyboard and in non-contact with the displayed keyboard, and track, using the received sensor data, one or more fingers in air a distance from the displayed keyboard image. The processor may also be configured to correlate locations of the one or more fingers in the air with images of a plurality of keys in the displayed keyboard, and select keys from the keyboard image based on the correlated locations of the one or more fingers in the air, and a detection of a predefined gesture performed by the user.

A system includes an image capturing device, a user input device, and a processor coupled to the image capturing device and user input device. The processor includes instructions for capturing a data image with the image capturing device. The data image includes a signal from the user input device. The processor further includes instructions for deactivating the signal from the user input device and, after deactivating the signal from the user input device, capturing an ambient image. The processor further includes instructions for subtracting the ambient image from the data image and determining a position of the user input device in a three-dimensional space using a result of the subtracting.

A system and method for determining location of a touch event on or in proximity to a touch sensitive device is disclosed. Sampling of data is performed during different frames. The frames are processed to determine touch events and information related to the touch events.

A display device includes a display panel and an infrared sensing module. The display panel includes an active region in which a pixel that emits light based on a data signal is disposed. The infrared sensing module transmits a first infrared light that passes through the active region and receives a second infrared light that passes through the active region to recognize an object. The wavelength of the first infrared light may have a wavelength greater than a predetermined value so that a luminance of light emitted by the pixel is not affected by operation of the infrared sensing module.
