Title: Display device
Inventor: JOOBONG HYUN
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2018-08-16
Abstract: A display device comprises a display panel DP having a display area DA and a light source LS below a non-display area NDA to irradiate the display panel with light. A directional light unit is disposed on the display panel and refracts light from the light source at a first angle θ1 so that it travels towards the display area by total internal reflection, reflect some of the totally internally reflected light at a second angle θ2 out of an upper surface of the display device, and supply light reflected back into the upper surface of the display device through the display panel. The back-reflected light is received by an optical sensor OS below the display panel. The directional light unit may comprise a cover substrate CS and an optical element including a light-exiting element 0E_0, a light-incident element 0E_1, and a layer LR having a low refractive index. In use, light from the light source is refracted by the light-incident element and travels by total internal reflection between the upper surfaces of the cover substrate and low-refractive layer until reaching the light-exiting element. It is then reflected towards the upper surface of the device to illuminate a fingerprint F.

Title: Displacement sensing apparatus
Inventor: Robert Money
IPC: G06F3/044
Filed: 2020-09-07
Abstract: A sensing apparatus (1, fig 1) includes a frame 2 and a displaceable element 3 mounted relative to the frame 2. Displacement sensor elements 5, 12 are positioned at different spatial locations and provide a signal indicative of a displacement between the frame 2 and displaceable element 3. Processing circuitry (4C, fig 1) determines a ratio between the displacement output signals from a pair of displacement sensor elements 5,12 and compares this with an expected ratio for that pair to determine whether the displacement is a valid displacement, for example to determine whether a load has been applied to a sensing surface 3A (as in fig 4B) or non-sensing surface 3B (as in fig 4A) of the displaceable element 3. The sensing elements may be formed of a deformable 5 and reference 12 electrode pair, the capacitive coupling between which is measured. The apparatus 1 may be used in a touch-sensitive input device, for example a car dashboard.

Title: Automated extension of program data storage
Inventor: ZHEN LIU
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2021-11-24
Abstract: A compiler 200 processes source code 108 with a marked data variable. At the start of the scope of the variable, the compiler inserts code to take a first snapshot of the storage space used to store the variable. At the end of the scope of the variable it inserts code to take a second snapshot of the storage space. It also adds code to compare the snapshots and determine how much of the storage space has been used. If the amount of space used exceeds a threshold, the code sends a notification to the user that the data has exceeded a data usage limit. The user may then modify the variable to increase the storage space. Compiler dictionary information 210, 212 may be used to determine the use of the storage space and the size of the storage space.
