TOUCH DISPLAY APPARATUS
A touch display apparatus is provided. The touch display apparatus includes a display panel including a display surface, a light guide plate disposed over the display surface of the display panel and formed to emit light incident into one side surface of the light guide plate through an upper surface of the light guide plate, a first light source array disposed on one side of the light guide plate and including a plurality of infrared light sources configured to emit infrared rays to an one side surface of the light guide plate, a camera disposed on at least one side of the first light source array and configured to photograph infrared rays emitted through an entire area of the upper surface of the light guide plate, and a processor configured to recognize coordinates of an input object adjacent to the upper surface of the light guide plate using infrared rays images captured by the camera.
MOBILE DEVICE AND ACCESSORY CASE WITH ARTICULATED STRUCTURE
Systems and methods for use with a mobile electronic device comprising a housing having articulated structures on one or more of the housing side walls, the articulated structures including at least two segments forming an engagement which enables pivotal motion upon the application of a force on the housing thus enabling the housing to flex responsively.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MANAGING SCREEN OF DISPLAY AND OPERATION METHOD OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electronic device for managing a screen of a display and an operation method in the electronic device. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may include: a display module including a display configured to be deformable, a memory, and at least one processor electrically coupled to the display module and the memory. The at least one processor may be configured to: obtain first state information related to a screen for displaying objects of execution applications, obtain second state information related to deformation of the display, generate a view of a mini-application executable on the screen based on the first state information and the second state information, and control the display module to display the screen configured to include the generated view of the min-application in a display area visible to the outside based on the deformation of the display.
Hysteretic multilevel touch control
According to some embodiments, a processor reads a force from a touch control. Hysteretic behavior is provided through at least three different actuation states and at least four different force threshold values, allowing user-friendly control of disparate actions through one touch interface with applications in volume control, photography, and user authentication. Other possibilities are shown and discussed.
Determining opening/closing of computing device
Computing devices and methods for determining opening and closing of touch sensitive interfaces are disclosed. In one example, a computing device comprises a touch screen display on a first substrate that is rotatably coupled to a second substrate that includes a trackpad. A trackpad identification signal transmitted by the trackpad is received at the touch screen display, and a touch screen identification signal transmitted by the touch screen is received at the trackpad. If the trackpad identification signal matches a trackpad identification key and the touch screen identification signal matches a touch screen identification key, then an energy level of one or both signals is compared to an energy level threshold. Based at least in part on the comparison of the energy level to the threshold, a power state transition is initiated.
Staple instrument comprising a firing path display
A surgical stapling system for stapling the tissue of a patient is disclosed. The stapling system comprises a housing, a shaft extending from the housing, and an end effector extending from the shaft. The end effector comprises a plurality of staples removably stored therein and, also, an anvil configured to deform the staples. The stapling system further comprises a firing mechanism configured to deploy the staples along a staple firing path longer than 60 mm, a camera configured to capture an image of the patient tissue, a display, and a controller configured to generate an image of the staple firing path, wherein the images are displayed on the display.
Display device and method for operating the same
A display device includes a display panel, an input sensor, and a readout circuit. The display panel is configured to display an image. The input sensor is disposed on the display panel. The readout circuit is configured to output a moisture level signal corresponding to sensing signals received from the input sensor in a skin measurement mode.
Electronic devices with display and touch sensor structures
Display layers and touch sensor layers may be overlapped by enclosure walls in an electronic device. The electronic device may have a front wall and opposing rear wall and curved sidewalls. The front wall and the curved sidewalls may be formed from a glass layer or other transparent member. A touch sensor layer and display layer may extend under the glass layer with curved sidewalls. A touch sensor layer may also extend under the opposing rear wall. A foldable electronic device may have a flexible transparent wall portion that joins planar transparent walls. Components may be interposed between the transparent planar walls and opaque walls. Display and touch layers may be overlapped by the transparent walls and the transparent flexible wall portion. Touch sensor structures may also be overlapped by the opaque walls.
Displaying a representation of a user touch input detected by an external device
A device includes a touch-sensitive display, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs including instructions for receiving data from an external device representing user input received over a duration of time at the external device. The programs may include instructions for determining whether the electronic device is actively executing an application for playback. The programs may further include instructions for in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is not actively executing an application for playback: displaying an indication of the receiving of the data; and displaying an affordance, wherein the affordance when selected launches the application for playback and causes the electronic device to playback the received data according to the duration of time of the user input.
Display apparatus
A display apparatus includes a sensor layer including sensors; a pixel layer disposed on the sensor layer and including pixel areas and pixels in the pixel areas; and an opaque layer disposed between the sensor layer and the pixel layer and having holes corresponding to light-transmitting areas of pixel areas in which pixels that emit light of a specific color are disposed.
