US Patent:

59696982, Oct 19, 1999

Filed:

Nov 29, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/158342

Inventors:

Fred V. Richard - Scottsdale AZ
Ronald J. Nelson - Scottsdale AZ

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345 7

Abstract:

Portable communication equipment having a virtual display including display electronics and optics for providing a virtual image in the display, a virtual control panel image viewable in the virtual display as a portion of the virtual image and cursor electronics connected to the display electronics for producing a manually controllable cursor virtual image in the display. The virtual image control panel is connected to be operable with the cursor virtual image and further connected to operate the portable communication equipment. Manual controls, connected to the cursor electronics for controlling the position and function of the cursor virtual image, are mounted on the portable communication equipment and externally accessible by an operator.

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H01L 3300
H01L 2302

US Classification:

257 81

Abstract:

An integrated electro-optical package including a semiconductor chip with a large array of light emitting devices formed thereon and cooperating to generate a complete real image. The light emitting devices are positioned in rows and columns and connected to pads adjacent outer edges of the chip. A window frame substrate having a central opening therethrough coextensive with the real image generated by the chip and mounting pads, bump bonded to the pads on the chip. A plurality of driver circuits connected to the light emitting devices through terminals on the window frame substrate. A lens mounted to the substrate over the opening and on a side opposite the chip to magnify the real image and produce an easily viewable virtual image.

Appl. No.:

7/767180

Inventors:

Karen E. Jachimowicz - Goodyear AZ
Fred V. Richard - Scottsdale AZ
Ronald J. Nelson - Scottsdale AZ

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G02B 600

US Classification:

385133

Abstract:

A waveguide virtual image display including image generation apparatus providing a real image at an inlet of an optical waveguide. The real image being reflected a plurality of times within the optical waveguide by diffractive optical elements that magnify and filter the real image and produce a virtual image at a viewing aperture. The display is mounted on an eyeglasses frame for hands-free viewing.
