INTERNAL GAMING FEATURES AT GAMING DEVICES WITH TRANSPARENT DISPLAYS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240212423 titled 'INTERNAL GAMING FEATURES AT GAMING DEVICES WITH TRANSPARENT DISPLAYS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a gaming device with a transparent display that can selectively emit light to obscure the interior of the device from the user.

Key Features and Innovation:

• Housing with transparent display and emissive pixel elements
• Conductive layer to operate the pixels
• Processor circuit and memory for controlling the display
• Pixels emit light to block visibility of the interior volume

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in gaming devices, augmented reality applications, and interactive displays.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for interactive displays that can selectively obscure the content displayed on them.

Benefits:

• Enhanced user experience in gaming and interactive applications
• Improved privacy for content displayed on transparent screens

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include gaming consoles, interactive kiosks, and advertising displays.

Questions about Gaming Device Technology: 1. How does the conductive layer operate the emissive pixel elements? 2. What are the potential limitations of using this technology in outdoor environments?

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the development of more efficient and cost-effective transparent display technologies for gaming devices.

Original Abstract Submitted

a gaming device includes a housing defining an interior volume and a transparent display that includes an emissive layer including an array of pixels, each including an emissive pixel element and a transparent portion, and a conductive layer operatively to selectively operate the emissive pixel elements. the gaming device further include a processor circuit and a memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to selectively operate the transparent display. the transparent portion of each pixel is transparent to visible light in an inactive state such the interior volume of the housing is visible through the transparent portion to a user outside the housing. each emissive pixel of the array of emissive pixels emits light in an active state sufficient to obscure visibility of the interior volume of the housing through the transparent portion of the pixel to the user outside the housing.
