Abstract
A display that contains a sparse array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), system, and method of fabrication are disclosed. The display includes a panel having at least one tile configured to display information. The panel is disposed within or on a transparent material. Each tile includes an array of LEDs, which have a uniform distance therebetween such that light from the array is viewable on opposing sides of the panel while providing visibility through the panel. A darkening layer on at least one side of the panel provides selectable darkening to block the light from exiting the at least one side of the panel.
Claims21
A computer system comprising a dual-sided display and a processor configured to control the dual-sided display to provide light, the computer system comprising a panel having at least one tile configured to display information, the panel disposed within a transparent material, each of the at least one tile including a sparse array of micro light-emitting diodes (microLEDs), the processor configured to control the microLEDs to provide light to be viewed on opposing sides of the panel.
A computer system comprising:
- a dual-sided display configured to selectively emit light from opposing sides of the display;
- and
- a processor configured to control the light from each of the opposing sides of the dual-sided display,
- the dual-sided display having a panel, the panel including:
- a sparse array of micro light-emitting diodes (microLEDs) configured to emit the light;
- and
- a darkening layer disposed on each side of the array, each darkening layer configured to independently switch between being transparent to the light and opaque to the light, the processor configured to control the array and the darkening layers to display information to be selectively viewed on the opposing sides of the panel.
A computer system comprising:
- a dual-sided display configured to selectively emit light from opposing sides of the display;
- and
- a processor configured to control the light from the dual-sided display, the dual-sided display having a panel, the panel including:
- an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to emit the light;
- and
- a darkening layer disposed on each side of the array, each darkening layer configured to independently switch between being transparent to the light and opaque or reflective to the light, the processor configured to control the array and the darkening layers to display information to be selectively viewed on the opposing sides of the panel.
