WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SENSOR MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17903354 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SENSOR MODULE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a housing and a light output module that can display images. The device also includes a display member with color-changeable lenses and waveguides to guide the light from the light output module. There is a sensor module with sensors to detect the illuminance of light passing through the display member. A processor is used to adjust the transmittance of the color-changeable lenses based on the detected illuminance.
- The electronic device has a housing and a light output module for displaying images.
- The display member includes color-changeable lenses and waveguides to guide the light from the light output module.
- The sensor module detects the illuminance of light passing through the display member.
- The processor adjusts the transmittance of the color-changeable lenses based on the detected illuminance.
- If the illuminance differs between the lenses, the processor provides a voltage to equalize the transmittance.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smartphones and tablets with adjustable display transmittance based on ambient lighting conditions.
- Augmented reality glasses that can dynamically adjust the transparency of the lenses.
- Head-up displays in cars that adapt to different lighting conditions for better visibility.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inconsistent display visibility due to varying lighting conditions.
- Limited control over the transmittance of color-changeable lenses.
- Difficulty in achieving equal transmittance between multiple lenses.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved visibility and readability of displays in different lighting environments.
- Enhanced user experience with adaptive display transmittance.
- Better control over the transmittance of color-changeable lenses for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device may comprise: a housing, a light output module comprising light output circuitry disposed in the housing and configured to output an image, a display member comprising a display including a first display member including a first color-changeable lens and a first waveguide disposed behind the first color-changeable lens configured to guide light generated from the light output module and a second display member including a second color-changeable lens and a second waveguide disposed behind the second color-changeable lens configured to guide the light generated from the light output module, a sensor module comprising at least one sensor including a first sensor module including a first sensor configured to detect a first illuminance of light passed through the first display member, a second sensor module including a second sensor configured to detect a second illuminance of light passed through the second display member, and a third sensor module including a third sensor configured to detect a third illuminance of light transferred to the display member, and a processor configured to adjust a first transmittance of the first color-changeable lens and a second transmittance of the second color-changeable lens based on the first illuminance, the second illuminance, or the third illuminance. The processor may be configured to, based on the first illuminance differing from the second illuminance, provide a voltage to at least one of the first color-changeable lens or the second color-changeable lens so that the first transmittance and the second transmittance are substantially equal to each other.
