GAMING DEVICE WITH TRANSPARENT DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18087032 titled 'GAMING DEVICE WITH TRANSPARENT DISPLAY

The abstract describes a gaming device with a transparent display that can selectively emit light to obscure the background environment visible through the display.

  • The gaming device includes a base and a transparent display with an array of pixels, each containing an emissive pixel element and a transparent portion.
  • A conductive layer is used to selectively operate the emissive pixel elements, controlled by a processor circuit and memory storing machine-readable instructions.
  • The transparent portion of each pixel allows visibility of the background environment in an inactive state, while emitting light in an active state to obscure the background.
  • This technology allows for dynamic visual effects and interactive gameplay experiences on a transparent display.

Potential Applications: - Gaming consoles - Augmented reality devices - Interactive digital signage

Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience with immersive visuals - Providing interactive gameplay on transparent displays

Benefits: - Engaging and interactive gaming experiences - Seamless integration of digital content with real-world environments

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Transparent Display Technology for Gaming and Augmented Reality" This technology can be used in gaming consoles, AR devices, and digital signage for interactive and visually appealing experiences, catering to the growing demand for immersive entertainment solutions.

Questions about Transparent Display Technology: 1. How does the transparent display technology enhance user interaction with digital content? - The transparent display technology allows users to interact with digital content overlaid on real-world environments, creating immersive and engaging experiences. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing transparent display technology in commercial applications? - Some challenges may include ensuring durability and visibility in different lighting conditions, as well as optimizing power consumption for prolonged use.


Original Abstract Submitted

A gaming device includes a base and a transparent display disposed on the base including an emissive layer including an array of pixels, each including an emissive pixel element and a transparent portion, and a conductive layer operatively coupled to the emissive layer to selectively operate the emissive pixel elements. The gaming device further includes a processor circuit a memory storing machine-readable instructions that 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 that an environment behind the transparent display is visible through the transparent portion to a user in front of the transparent display. Each pixel of the array of pixels emits light in an active state sufficient to obscure visibility of the environment behind the transparent display through the transparent portion to the user in front of the transparent display.
