An electronic device includes a flexible display that can be deformed at a deformation portion to partition the flexible display into a first portion and a second portion. One or more processors present content on the first portion of the flexible display and remediate the second portion of the flexible display to compensate performance degradation of the flexible display resulting from presenting content on the first portion of the flexible display.

Deformable electronic device and methods and systems for display remediation to compensate performance degradation

An electronic device includes a deformable housing and a flexible display supported by the deformable housing. One or more flex sensors supported by the deformable housing detect the electronic device is deformed at a deformation portion to partition the flexible display into a first portion and a second portion. One or more processors present content on the first portion of the flexible display in response to detecting the flexible display being deformed, and remediate the second portion of the flexible display to compensate performance degradation of the flexible display resulting from presenting content on the first portion of the flexible display.

A method and apparatus filter light spectrum. Ambient light conditions of light that is ambient to a user device can be sensed. Ambient light color conditions can be determined based on the sensed ambient light conditions. User device charging times when the user device is being charged can be monitored. User device motion including movement of the user device can be monitored. User device activity can be monitored. Color-modified image display times can be ascertained from at least one selected from the user device motion, the user device activity, and the user device charging times. A color-modified image can be generated based on at least the ambient light color conditions and the color-modified image display times. The color-modified image can be displayed.

Method and apparatus for light spectrum filtering

A method and apparatus performed by an electronic device for operating a display assembly of the electronic device includes a display assembly having an externally-lit display with first and second polarizing layers and a backlighting source. The first polarizing layer is positioned between the backlighting source and the second polarizing layer. The display assembly also includes a self-lit display positioned between the first and second polarizing layers of the externally-lit display.

Method and apparatus for providing a display assembly having multiple displays

An apparatus, system, method, and program product are disclosed for balancing usage across a foldable display. A method includes tracking one or more characteristics of an active portion of a foldable display. The active portion of the foldable display includes a portion of the foldable display that is enabled when the display is folded. The method includes determining an inactive portion of the foldable display that is disabled while the active portion of the foldable display is enabled when the display is folded. The method includes activating the inactive portion of the foldable display based on the one or more characteristics of the active portion of the foldable display such that usage of the active and inactive portions of the foldable display is substantially uniform.

Balancing usage across a foldable display

A video projector includes a reduced size spatial light modulator () that spatially modulates light from a light source () according to only a portion (e.g., &#xbd;) of a video frame at a time. A beam steerer () steers spatially modulated light from the spatial light modulator to a correspond region (e.g., upper half, lower half) of a projection screen/surface () and one or more lenses () insure that the spatially light modulator () is imaged onto the projection screen/surface ().

Thin microprojector with switched beam bender and method of operating the same

Disclosed are a system and method for microprojection that uses multiple imagers to produce a high resolution output image. Each of a set of imagers produces a portion of the final image. Relay lenses then tile the individual image portions together into a combined image. Because the height of the individual imagers is smaller than the height of a monolithic imager, they can fit into a very thin device. The combined image has a resolution equal to the sum of the resolutions of the individual imagers. The individual images are tiled together within the microprojector itself rather than on a projection screen. This allows the tiling to be adjusted once at the factory and set forever. In some embodiments, the light created for use by the microprojector is split by a polarizing beamsplitter. Each resultant polarized beam is then sent to an imager. Another polarizing beamsplitter combines the individual images.
