Various approaches discussed herein enable techniques for displaying instances of content on a curved display screen. Multiple users of a curved display screen may desire to view separate instances of content on different regions of the same display screen. A location of the separate users may be determined, and a region associated with each user determined and positioned on the display such that the region is within the field of view of the respective user. The content associated with the particular user is displayed in the region of the display that is directed at the associated user.

Displaying instances of visual content on a curved display

An electronic device having power management and a lock interface to unlock the electronic device uses that unlock interface to accept input sequences for alternate instruction sequences for predefined actions other than unlocking the electronic device. The lock interface can be a touchscreen interface. Alternate instructions could trigger powering up of selected subsystems of the electronic device as part of performing the alternate instructions. The alternate instruction sequences can comprise message send sequences and those message send sequences can include some characters of the message encoded using Morse code. The powered up subsystems might include a modem subsystem and an analog radio frequency ('RF') subsystem.

A method for analyzing displays is described. A processing device receives a first scanned image of a first display and determines a first characteristic of the first display by analyzing the first scanned image. The processing device also receives a second scanned image of a second display and determines a second characteristic of the second display by analyzing the second scanned image. The processing device compares the first characteristic and the second characteristic to determine a third characteristic of the second display.

Display analysis using scanned images

Techniques for calibrating spatial uniformity of light emitted by a light source include receiving light from a unit under test with an array of photo detectors. Sampling circuitry receives an output signal generated by each of the photo detectors in response to the received light, and samples each of the output signals to generate a sampled output signal for each of the photo detectors. One or more processors determine a spatial uniformity measure of one or both of luminous intensity and chromaticity for the received light using the sampled output signals.

Mobile device flash calibration

A method for analyzing a display is described. The method includes scanning the display to generate a scanned image of the display. The scanned image may be analyzed to determine a characteristic of the display, such as whether or not the display is defective.
