## Title
Arrangement for optical representation and wireless communication

## Abstract

A functional, primary display means comprises a number of first, small pixel elements and comprises or communicates with image generating means for generation of a high resolution miniature image. A main display means comprises a dielectric material which is transparent to radio-, and/or millimeter waves and/or microwaves and comprises a number of second, passive, pixel elements substantially corresponding to, and considerably larger than, the first pixel elements. Each first pixel element is connected to a second pixel element by an optical transmission means for transfer of optical image information. The main display means is adapted to visually represent the transferred optical information as an enlarged image and receiving/transmitting means for communication of radio-, millimeter wave or microwave signals are arranged in or on the main display means such that reception/transmission can take place substantially independently of the optical representation.

## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a display arrangement comprising display means associated with receiving and/or transmitting means for communication of radio-, millimeter- or microwave signals. Particularly it relates to a display arrangement with receiving and/or transmitting capability for a wireless communication terminal.
BACKGROUND
Wireless communication terminals have to be equipped both with a display screen and with receiving and transmitting means, more specifically antenna means. It is important that the display means is able to present optical information with a high resolution and of a high quality. It is also important that the receiving and transmitting capability of the wireless communication terminal is good. Among other things it should be possible to provide a good coverage for all possible radio communication channels (supposing that the wireless communication terminal communicates by means of radio waves). For the communication network it is important to be able to provide a good transmission capacity and quality, for single links as well as for the radio network as a whole. It should also be possible to exploit the potential transmission capacity as much as possible. Therefore a wireless communication terminal may be equipped with multiple antennas which couple independently to the different degrees of freedom of a radio channel. For a single wave, the degrees of freedom are generally the direction and the polarization, whereas in a real channel, a transmitted wave is scattered by physical objects in the surrounding environment, resulting in a so called multi-path channel. For a multi-path channel there are many different pathways corresponding to different directions, at the receiver as well as at the transmitter.
For a laptop (one example of a wireless communication terminal) it is known to use the frame surrounding the laptop display for an antenna means. However, the available space on the frame is quite limited which restricts where and how antenna means can be located and it becomes difficult to take full advantage of the available data transmission capacity and to meet the objects referred to above. It also becomes difficult to handle real multi-path channels. In addition thereto, since the available space is limited, it is not possible to position antenna elements according to the needs to a sufficient extent, at least for many applications, particularly for advanced wireless communication systems or high speed wireless communication systems which require multiple antennas or antenna arrays. This means that it becomes difficult to provide sufficient coverage for all possible radio channel directions. To overcome these problems, the frame could be made larger which either would result in a larger laptop, which is inconvenient, or in a smaller screen. With a smaller screen, the optical representation capability will suffer, which also is inconvenient.
As an alternative to the frame, it is also known to use the back side of a laptop display for an antenna arrangement. Then the antenna elements will be screened in the opposite direction and since the radio paths having the best gain typically are concentrated within in a limited angular range, the strongest paths then will be heavily attenuated, which is a serious problem. This problem will be of considerable importance for future high speed wireless communication systems.
As can be seen there are so far no satisfactory solutions, particularly for wireless communication units, to provide a functioning display for optical representation at the same time as a flexible and controllable antenna arrangement, since the location of the antenna arrangement is given by the display arrangement. Either it has to be located at the back of the display or in the frame surrounding the display, which strongly limits the capacity/quality of the antenna arrangement. A fundamental problem is that the antenna arrangement and the display arrangement in known arrangements interfere with each other or affect each other negatively and so far it has not been possible to provide a combined arrangement wherein both functionalities (the functionality of optical representation and the functionality of receiving/transmitting radio waves etc.) fulfill high requirements at the same time. It has so far not been possible to provide a combined display and antenna arrangement, or more a generally a receiving/transmitting arrangement, wherein the display and its optical representation capabilities are not impaired or affected by the antenna arrangement and, vice versa, wherein the antenna arrangement and particularly its receiving and transmitting capabilities are not impaired by the display arrangement.
SUMMARY
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a display arrangement as initially referred to, or a combined display and receiving and/or transmitting arrangement for radio-, millimeter or microwaves which is well functioning, both as far as optical representation is concerned and as far as receiving and/or transmitting properties are concerned, while still meeting other requirements as to size, form etc. It is also an object of the invention to provide a combined display and receiving and/or transmitting arrangement, particularly an antenna arrangement, wherein the display means and the antenna arrangement do not interfere such that the properties of one or the other are negatively affected. Particularly it is an object to provide an arrangement as referred to above with receiving/transmitting means combined with antenna means through which it becomes possible to efficiently cover many or all different directions of a radio communication channel.
Moreover it is an optional object to provide an arrangement through which a wireless communication device with a display, such as a laptop, can be equipped with multiple antennas or antenna arrays coupling independently to different degrees of freedom of a transmission/reception radio channel. Another object is to provide an arrangement as referred to above through which it becomes possible to receive/transmit on the strongest radio paths. More particularly it is an object to provide a flexible and controllable co-located display and antenna arrangement that can be used in communication devices such as laptops, palmtops, mobile phones etc. and which is easy and cheap to fabricate and wherein the antenna means can be made large enough without requiring extra space, e.g. requiring that the display screen is made small due to a large frame etc. It should also allow transmission/reception on possible or desired directions while not suffering from screening problematics and be appropriate for multipath radio, millimeter or microwave signals. It is moreover an object to provide a combined display and antenna arrangement which is flexible and provides a large freedom as far as construction of the antenna arrangement is concerned and which is possible to adapt to relevant applications and which allows or opens up for many processing options of the radio signals.
Therefore a display arrangement as referred to above is provided wherein the display means comprises a functional primary display and a main display means. The functional primary display comprises a number of first, small pixel elements, and comprises or communicates with image generating means, for generation of a high resolution image, for example a compressed image or a miniature image. The main display comprises a number of second pixel elements substantially corresponding to the number of first, small, pixel elements. The second pixel elements are considerably larger than said first pixel elements and each first pixel element is connected to a second pixel element by means of an optical transmission means for optical transfer of the miniature or compressed image. The main display is adapted to visually represent the transferred image as an enlarged image. It is transparent to radio/millimeter or microwaves. The receiving and/or transmitting means of the antenna means are arranged in association with the main display means, preferably on the back or on the front thereof.
It is an advantage of the invention that a combined display and antenna arrangement is provided which has a good optical representation capability as well as a good receiving/transmission capability for radio/millimeter/microwaves. It is particularly an advantage that a combined display and antenna arrangement is provided in which the antenna arrangement does not have any influence whatsoever on, or does not interfere with, the display arrangement and vice versa. Particularly it is an advantage that the antenna elements of the antenna arrangement do not screen the display arrangement and, vice versa, that the display arrangement does not screen the receiving/transmitting elements. It is also an advantage that a combined antenna and display arrangement is provided through which substantially the whole area of the display surface is available and can be used for a receiving/transmitting functionality. Particularly it is an advantage that it becomes possible to locate and arrange antenna elements or arrays in a most efficient manner within the case of for example a wireless communication device, for example a laptop, palmtop or similar such that all possible directions of a communication channel, particularly a radio channel, can be covered and that it becomes possible to utilize optional portions of, or the entire, display surface for radio communication as well as for optical presentation. It is also an advantage that transmission capacity can be boosted and that an extra-ordinarily effective antenna array with high gain and omnidirectional properties for beam-forming and spatial multiplexing can be provided for use in for example laptops or other wireless communication terminals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 illustrates a display and antenna arrangement 100 which comprises a primary functional display means 10 comprising a number of small pixel elements 1A1, . . . , 1A44 which are connected to image generating means, e.g. a graphics card, (not shown). The primary, functional display means 10 acts as an image source with a high resolution and high intensity. The small pixel elements, particularly light-emitting diodes (LEDs), are by means of a bundle of optical fibers 80 acting as waveguides connected to larger, passive, second pixel elements 2A11, . . . , 2A44 of a main display 20 for visual representation of the image. Thus, the miniature image generated in the primary functional display means 10 is magnified and projected onto the main display screen 20 via the optical fibers 80. The miniature image can be generated by conventional digital projector technology. It is however an advantage that generation of the image may be done with a technology which is a quite simple and cheap, since the light intensity does not have to be very strong. The optical fibers 80 are dielectric as well as the main screen which allows mounting of RF elements 3A11, . . . , 3A45 (or more generally receiving/transmitting elements) directly behind the main display 20 and to radiate through it. Here the antenna elements comprise antenna patches; that the number of antenna patches is similar to the number of second pixel elements is purely coincidental and there is no relation between number, shape and type of antenna elements and pixel elements.
The antenna patches 2A11, . . . , 2A44 are by means of transmission lines connected to a distribution network 21 comprising feeding means, combining and/or switching means which are controllable by digital control means 22. By means of antenna ports the antenna elements are connected to an RF receive/transmit (RX/TX) chain 23. The miniature or compressed first pixel elements of the primary functional display 10 are connected to a bundle 80 of optical fibers. The fiber ends of the other end of the bundle are spread out and mounted onto a dielectric optically transparent surface comprising the second, larger pixel elements. Accuracy of the image on the main screen 20 can be achieved by very precise mounting of the fiber ends or alternatively by remapping the pixels of the primary functional display connected to the image generating means providing the relevant information which is made possible through initial calibration measurements. The fiber end positions may be randomized, but known, and the pixel elements of the primary, functional display means are remapped accordingly in an image generating computer. Also the light intensity and the colour of the pixels may be adjusted by using the remapping procedure. Since the optical fibers have very low losses, the image produced by the primary functional display means acting as an image source, can be placed at any suitable location.
The main display screen 20 to which the optical fibers are connected is preferably completely dielectric and therefore transparent to radio waves. This means that any RF antenna arrangement (or antenna arrangement receiving/transmitting radio- or millimeter waves or microwaves) can be arranged directly behind the screen without having any influence on the optical image of the main display screen, and without being influenced by the main display screen, which is extremely advantageous. Here the primary functional display means 10 is illustrated as been located outside the carrier 50, for example a laptop screen carrier, but of course it could also be provided somewhere on the display screen or elsewhere on the laptop, e.g. in the frame of the screen, if the arrangement is to be implemented in a laptop. The location of the primary functional display means can be selected arbitrarily as long as any other requirements concerning for example fiber lengths, compactness etc. are met.
FIG. 2 is a simplified cross-sectional view of reduced size along Y-Y in FIG. 1 showing the display means 20 which in this embodiment comprises a number of pixel elements 2A11, 2A14 (merely one row of pixel elements shown) and it should be understood that of course the number of pixel elements in a row normally is much higher, not more pixels shown for reasons of clarity. The pixel elements are arranged in the non-conductive, dielectric display layer 32 and they are connected by means of the, likewise dielectric, optical fibers 80 with primary functional display means (not shown). At the back of the main display means 20 an antenna layer comprising antenna means 6 is schematically illustrated which in turn may be disposed on a ground plane 60. It is here supposed that the antenna means 6 comprises a number of antenna patches (not shown in FIG. 2) requiring a ground plane 60. In this figure no antenna feeding means etc. are illustrated for reasons of clarity. The eye in the figure illustrates the viewing direction, which is the front or top of the main display. The antenna means 6 are here located at the back of the main display 20 and, since the main display is dielectric, there is no interference and the antenna elements can receive/transmit or radiate through the main display means. No grounding layer is actually needed for the main display means which means that a particular grounding layer 60 has to be provided if the antenna elements are patches. It may be provided at the back of the antenna means 6. If the antenna elements instead comprise coplanar elements or dipoles, no ground layer is needed.
FIG. 3 very schematically illustrates a display antenna arrangement 1002 according to another embodiment. Primary functional display means 202 comprises pixel elements 2B1, . . . , 2B16 which are connected to image generating means 702, for example a graphic card or similar. The pixel elements 2B1, . . . , 2B16 particularly comprise small light emitting diodes, LEDs. By means of optical waveguides, a bundle of optical fibers 802, each pixel element 2B1, . . . , 2B16 is connected to respective larger second pixel elements 1B1, . . . , 1B16 of the main display means 202, as discussed above. The pixel elements of the main display means 202 are here illustrated as circular; the shape is here of no significance, they may have any shape, in all embodiments. The second pixel elements 1B1, . . . , 1B16 are provided in a dielectric, non-conductive pixel layer 302 on which an antenna means 62 is disposed. It is here supposed that the antenna means comprises a plurality of dipole antenna elements (not shown in the figure). Conducting wires 42 connect the dipole antenna elements to feeding, switching and/or combining means 21B. Since the antenna means here is constituted by dipole antennas, no grounding functionality is needed.
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates one implementation of an inventive arrangement 1003 in a laptop. An image information means in the form of a graphic card 703 is arranged in the laptop 903 and it provides information to primary functional display means 103 here shown in the display part of the laptop. It may also be located elsewhere, e.g. in the neighbourhood of the graphic card. The primary display means 103 can be said to act as a projector screen comprising a number of LEDs which are connected by means of optical fibers 83 to a secondary or main screen 203 acting as a projection screen presenting the image to a user. Since the main display 203 is entirely dielectric, an antenna means comprising antenna array elements, here antenna patches 3A11, . . . , 3A21 connected with feed lines 43 to feeding/distribution network 213 is provided at the back of the display screen of the laptop 903. Since the antenna elements here are antenna patches, a ground plane 603 is needed and through vias are used to feed the respective antenna patches. Any kind of feeding is possible. The antenna patches are here arranged on a support layer 653 in or on which the conducting ground plane 603 is provided.
Since the main display means 203 is non-conducting and dielectric, e.g. a of glass or plastic, the antenna elements are not affected by the display means and the antenna elements can receive/transmit through the main display means, a directional array antenna beam being schematically illustrated in the figure with a dashed line.
FIG. 5 is a view in perspective of an arrangement 1004 according to the present invention focusing on the optical part. It comprises a primary functional display 104 connected to and receiving image information from image information providing means 704, e.g. a graphic card. The primary functional display means 104 comprises a number of pixel element 1C11, . . . , 1C21 of which one column is shown from the side which via coupling means are coupled out on optical waveguides (optical fibers) 813, 831, 822, 811 adapted to transfer light to pixel elements 2A11, 2A31, 2A21 at the other end of the fibers where optical information is coupled in to main display means 204 by coupling means 92. Normally there is a one to one relationship between the number of pixel elements in the first display means and pixel elements in the second display means, but as discussed above, the transfer can be done by means of a mapping or by extremely carefully mounting the fiber ends at the main display. The figure does not show any mapping means and it is supposed that the fiber ends have been mounted with extreme precision in this embodiment. An antenna display means 64 is placed at the back of the main display screen 204. For reasons of clarity it is only indicated in the figure.
FIG. 6 very schematically illustrates an optical fiber 8 with coupling means comprising a functional lens 9 which is connected to LED 1A provided in the primary functional display means 104. In this embodiment the outer end of the optical fiber 8 is shaped so as to form a coupling means with a lens functionality. In an alternative embodiment it is possible to provide separate lenses to, in an appropriate manner, couple light into optical fiber 8. However, it is clearly advantageous to merely shape the end of the optical fiber in the appropriate manner since it is a very simple technique for providing a transfer, coupling and lens functionality.
FIG. 7 shows more in detail an implementation of a display antenna arrangement 1005 according to the present invention. The display arrangement comprises a primary functional display means 105 connected to an image generator, e.g. a graphic card or similar (not shown). It comprises a number of pixel element comprising LEDs A11, . . . , A55 which via an optical fiber bundle comprising optical waveguides 822, . . . , 823, . . . , 855 (only some shown for reasons of clarity) connected to pixel elements 2A11, . . . , 2A61 of a main display screen 205 for optical image representation to a user (illustrated by means of an eye). Since the main screen can be made of any dielectric material which is non-conductive, an antenna means 65 can be provided at the back of the main screen 205. The antenna means 65 here comprises a number of patch elements 3A11, . . . , 3A61 etc. of a directional antenna array with directional antenna beams 51, 55 indicated in the figure. The antenna patches 3A11, . . . are fed by feeding or transmission lines 45 connected to a feeding network 215 which also may comprise a switching and/or combining functionality with RF transceivers etc. Since the antenna means here comprises antenna elements in the form of patch elements, a backing ground plane 605 is required.
FIG. 8 shows another implementation of an inventive arrangement 1006. LEDs of primary functional display means 106 are via fiber bundle 86 connected to pixel elements 2A11, . . . , 2A61 of a main display means 206. Since the main display means 206 can be made entirely dielectric and non-conductive (through the provisioning of the primary, functional display means), as well as the optically fibers of fiber bundle 86, an antenna means 66 can be provided at the back of the main display means 206. Here it is supposed that the antenna means 66 comprises antenna elements in the form of dipole antennas 3A′11, . . . , 3A′51. Each dipole antenna element is connected via two connection wires (all connection wires to all antenna elements in the figure simply indicated by reference sign 46) to feeding network 216 which as in the embodiment discussed above may comprise switching/combining functionalities with RF transceivers etc. It is supposed that omnidirectional antenna beams are provided, the antenna array comprising an omnidirectional antenna array and, since the antenna elements comprise dipole elements, no ground plane is needed. It should be clear that the distances for example between antenna means and main display means are not correctly illustrated in the figure; the distances may assume different values, the means may be arranged close together or with some distance, the main thing being that it is illustrated that an antenna means can be arranged at the back of the main display means and that it is possible to provide an omnidirectional antenna array since the antenna means will not be screened by the display means.
FIG. 9 shows still other possible implementations of a display and antenna arrangement 1007. Primary functional display means 107 as above comprises a number of pixel elements only very schematically illustrated and, also as above, each respective pixel element, e.g. LEDs, via fiber bundle 87 being connected to main display means 207 with a number of layer pixel elements, here simply denoted 2Ai. No image generating means are illustrated since the functioning in that aspect may be the same as described above.
In a first implementation an antenna means 67 comprising a number of antenna patches G7 is located in front of the main display means 207, even if this is not necessary since the second display means 207 actually is dielectric, non-conductive and transparent for RF signals. In this particular embodiment, however, the antenna means 67 is transparent for optical signals, i.e. the antenna elements are arranged in a thin optical transparent electrically non-conductive layer as for example described in the copending patent application denoted “Display Arrangement” filed on the same date and by the same applicant as the present application and the content of which herewith is incorporated herein by reference.
Another embodiment is also indicated in FIG. 9 in which antenna means H8 are integrated with the main display means 207, (although this is not necessary since the main display means does not screen the antenna means). An antenna structure H8 is disposed between the pixel element 2A1 of the main display means; “X” indicating wires of an electrically conductive grid providing antenna elements. The pixel elements can be connected to optical waveguides or fiber sections acting as lenses to conduct light to the front of the display means, through the grid. Such an implementation is also described in the patent application filed on the same date by the same applicant and denoted “A Display Arrangement With Enhanced Functionality”. It should be clear that FIG. 9 has been used to, in one and the same figure, actually illustrate two different implementations of providing the array antenna means either in front of the main display means or as integrated with the main display means and of course, antenna elements G7 and antenna elements H8 are not provided in one and the same display antenna arrangement; the figure merely being intended to show two different ways to arrange an antenna means, to cover other embodiments than those where the antenna is located at the back. In embodiments as in FIG. 9, none of the display means and the antenna means screens the other in any direction.
FIG. 10 is a schematical flow diagram describing the procedure for presenting optical information on a display screen using an arrangement according to the present invention wherein the arrangement at the same time acts as a receiver/transmitter of radio signals through the screen. Graphical information is generated in image generating means, for example a graphics generator comprising computer graphic cards and drivers, 101. The graphical information is signalled to image generating pixel elements of a primary display, 102 (video signal to optic converter). The signals are then coupled out from the respective pixel elements in the primary display into optical fibers or waveguides, 103. At the other ends of the respective optical fibers, the signals are, optionally via coupling means also acting as lenses, coupled into appropriate pixel elements of a main display which is dielectric as well as the optical fibers, 104. Unless the optical fiber ends have been located in a very precise manner, a remapping based on initial calculation measurement, and calibration, has to be done to provide a correct representation of the image generated by means of the primary display, i.e. a passive transition of the viewing area, 104. Finally the optical information is represented on the main display screen, 105.
It should be clear that the invention can be varied in a number of ways without departing from the scope of the appended claims. The primary functional display is small and does not screen or interfere with an antenna means it can be located in principle anywhere, and the main display representing the image to the viewer is entirely dielectric and non-conductive such that it also does not screen the antenna means. This means that the antenna, of any kind, be provided anywhere and extend substantially throughout the entire surface of the main display, as long as it does not screen the display, in an appropriate manner which means that the antenna means in turn can be arranged in many different manners and be provided with appropriate directional characteristics, for example omni-directional and also can be processed by multiplexing, beam-forming etc. in any desired manner. With advantage the display antenna arrangement can be arranged in association with a laptop and of course with other wireless communication devices, projector means etc.; in general wherever a receiving/transmitting functionality is needed at the same time as an optical representation capability.
