DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240292699 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The patent application describes a display device that includes glasses corresponding to a display area of a lens, a display panel that shows light, a reflective member that reflects the display light towards the glasses, and a light source unit that emits near-infrared light for tracking the user's eyes.
- The display panel consists of pixel groups arranged in a matrix configuration, with each group containing a red, green, blue, and sensor pixel.
- Each pixel group is divided into 2*2 sub-areas, with the blue pixel and sensor pixel adjacent to each other in one of the sub-areas.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality and augmented reality headsets - Eye-tracking technology for user interfaces and gaming - Medical applications for monitoring eye movements and health
Problems Solved: - Enhanced eye-tracking accuracy - Improved display quality and user experience - Efficient utilization of display space
Benefits: - Precise eye-tracking for interactive applications - Immersive visual experience with high-quality display - Versatile applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Eye-Tracking Display Technology for Virtual Reality Headsets" This technology can be used in the development of next-generation VR headsets for gaming, education, training simulations, and medical applications. The market implications include improved user engagement, increased demand for immersive experiences, and potential advancements in eye-tracking technology.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the near-infrared light emitted by the light source unit help in tracking the user's eyes? 2. What are the advantages of having the blue pixel and sensor pixel adjacent to each other in the pixel groups?
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes: a glasses corresponding to a display area of a lens; a display panel configured to display light; a reflective member configured to reflect the display light emitted from the display panel in a direction of the glasses; and a light source unit configured to emit near-infrared light for tracking eyes of a user, wherein the display panel includes a plurality of pixel groups arranged in a matrix configuration, the pixel groups including a red pixel, a green pixel, a blue pixel and a sensor pixel including a photodiode configured to sense the near-infrared light reflected by the eyes of the user, one pixel group includes 2*2 sub-areas, and any one of the red pixel, the green pixel, and composite pixels, in which the blue pixel and the sensor pixel are adjacent to each other, is located in each of the sub-areas.
