Display devices, systems and methods capable of single-sided, dual-sided, and transparent mixed reality applications
First Claim
1. A multi-mode dual-sided display element comprising:
- a) a first active shutter;
b) a transparent display pixel; and
,c) a second active shutter;
wherein the first active shutter is independently electrically operable to transition between a substantially transparent state and a substantially opaque state,wherein the second active shutter is independently electrically operable to transition between a substantially transparent state and a substantially opaque state,wherein the transparent display pixel is substantially transparent and is independently electrically operable to transition between a state in which the pixel generates light and a state in which the pixel does not generate light, andwherein the first active shutter is placed on one side of the transparent display pixel and the second active shutter is placed on the opposite side of the transparent display pixel.

Abstract
The display includes a transparent display (TD) element or layer such as at least one Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (TOLED) element and at least one active shutter (AS) element or layer such as a liquid crystal shutter. The AS may be opaque or transparent. The TD may be transparent or display or emit light in mixtures of color. Black may be displayed by a TD pixel by having the TD be transparent and turning an AS opaque. Each display is composed of elements that can have many states. The states can be used to create different display modes. Devices with these displays can have many form factors and configurations. These devices may change display modes based on spatial context as determined by any one of various environmental and configuration sensors.
