A system and method for providing supplemental content associated with an information device includes a user device detecting () the information device and that the information device has associated supplemental content. A next step includes requesting () a delivery of the supplemental content. A next step includes delivering () the supplemental content to a remote device, such as a home television. A next step includes presenting () the supplemental content to a user on the remote device.

A recursive lambda rule engine () includes a first multiplier () that sequentially multiplies each of series of inputs by a nonlinearity determining parameter and supplies results to a second multiplier () that multiplies the output of the first multiplier () by a previous output of the engine (). A three input adder () sequentially sums the output of the second multiplier (), inputs from the series of inputs, and the previous output of the engine (). A shift register () is used to feedback the output of the engine () to the three input adder () and second multiplier (). A MUX () is used to route an initial value through the shift register () for the first cycle of operation.

A method and apparatus for selective control of display data sequencing in a mobile computing device is disclosed. The method may include storing a plurality of display data sequencing instruction sets in a memory of the mobile computing device, each of the display data sequencing instruction sets being usable for transferring data in accordance with a different sequencing of display data than other ones of the display data sequencing instruction sets, receiving an indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used, selecting one of the display data sequencing instruction sets based on the received indication of the particular type of display data sequencing to be used, transferring data for display based on the selected one of the display data sequencing instruction sets, and controlling the transfer of data to the display device in order to synchronize the data transfer with the data and timing requirements of the display device.

A liquid crystal device comprises a cholesteric liquid crystal material interposed between a transparent front plate and a back plate. The cholesteric liquid crystal material is switchable between a transparent state and a reflective state in response to an electric field applied in a first direction. In the reflective state the material reflects light characterized by a first wavelength when no electric field is applied. Electrodes are provided for applying an electric field lied to the cholesteric liquid crystal material in the reflective state in a second direction distinct from the first direction. In this manner the cholesteric liquid crystal material is altered to cause the material to reflect light characterized by a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. A display device may thus be produced having pixels capable of a wide range of colors, thereby achieving a multicolored image for the display.

A display ( ) includes a slanted fringe volume hologram ( ) or other optical element that steers light that passes into and out of the display ( ) so as to provide angular separation between unmodulated scattered light and modulated reflected light. As a result of the angular separation the effective contrast of the display ( ) is improved. By placing the slanted fringe volume hologram ( ) below a front polarizer of the display a further reduction in the amount of unmodulated scatter light is achieved. The slanted fringe volume hologram is preferably a hologram of a diffusive object ( ), and consequently exhibits a degree of light diffusion that results in a viewing zone of an appreciable angular extent.
