Electronic Devices with Stretchable Fabric Covers - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319495 titled 'Electronic Devices with Stretchable Fabric Covers
The abstract describes a patent application for head-mounted electronic devices with displays that can adjust for different users' interpupillary distances by moving left-eye and right-eye optical modules. The devices also feature a stretchable fabric cover on the rear to hide internal structures, with diamond-shaped openings for optical modules and fuzzy-covered second strands that expand when stretched.
- Head-mounted electronic devices with adjustable left-eye and right-eye optical modules
- Stretchable fabric cover on the rear to hide internal structures
- Diamond-shaped openings for optical modules on the fabric cover
- Fuzzy-covered second strands that expand when the fabric is stretched
- Designed to accommodate variations in interpupillary distances and hide electrical components
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality headsets - Augmented reality glasses - Medical imaging devices
Problems Solved: - Accommodating different users' interpupillary distances - Concealing internal structures in head-mounted devices
Benefits: - Improved comfort for users with different interpupillary distances - Enhanced aesthetics with hidden internal components
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Head-Mounted Electronic Devices for Personalized Viewing Experiences" This technology could be used in the development of consumer electronics, medical devices, and entertainment systems, enhancing user experience and comfort.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the adjustable optical module feature improve user experience?
- The adjustable optical modules allow users to customize the device for their specific interpupillary distance, leading to a more comfortable viewing experience.
2. What are the potential applications of the stretchable fabric cover with diamond-shaped openings?
- The fabric cover can be used in various electronic devices to hide internal components while allowing for necessary adjustments and expansions.
Original Abstract Submitted
electronic devices such as head-mounted electronic devices may include displays for presenting images to users. to accommodate variations in the interpupillary distances associated with different users, a head-mounted device may have left-eye and right-eye optical modules that move with respect to each other. to hide internal structures from view, the rear of a head-mounted device may be provided with a stretchable fabric cover with openings for receiving optical modules. the fabric cover may have first strands forming a warp knit layer with diamond-shaped openings and second strands that zig-zag back and forth within the diamond-shaped openings. the first strands may stretch in the warp direction, while the second strands may stretch in the weft direction. the second strands may have a fuzzy covering for hiding electrical components even as the diamond-shaped openings expand when the fabric is stretched.
