1. A device, comprising:
- a first transparent display having a plurality of pixels, wherein transparency of the plurality of pixels is electronically controlled;
a second transparent display configured to emit an image;
wherein selected regions of the image are shown by having regions of the second transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image be transparent and regions of the first transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image appear at least partially opaque;
wherein the second transparent display is positioned in front of the first transparent display;
a camera configured to generate and store image data in a memory for a viewing cone defining an angular region from within which the first and second transparent displays can be viewed, wherein the viewing cone is located in front of the second transparent display; and
a processor configured to detect a gaze of a person located in the viewing cone from the image data and shift at least one of the regions of the second transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image or the regions of the first transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image based on alignment of the regions of the second transparent display with the regions of the first transparent display determined from an angle of the gaze of the person relative to a surface of the second transparent display facing the person.

16. A method, comprising:
-
providing a first transparent display having a plurality of pixels, wherein transparency of the plurality of pixels is electronically controlled; providing a second transparent display configured to emit an image; wherein selected regions of the image are shown by having regions of the second transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image be transparent and regions of the first transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image appear at least partially opaque; wherein the second transparent display is positioned in front of the first transparent display; generating image data for a viewing cone defining an angular region from within which the first and second transparent displays can be viewed, wherein the viewing cone is located in front of the second transparent display; detecting a gaze of a person located in the viewing cone from the image data; and shifting at least one of the regions of the second transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image or the regions of the first transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image based on alignment of the regions of the second transparent display with the regions of the first transparent display determined from an angle of the gaze of the person relative to a surface of the second transparent display facing the person. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an image to be displayed on a device, the device comprising; a first transparent display having a plurality of pixels, wherein transparency of the plurality of pixels is electronically controlled; a second transparent display configured to emit an image; and displaying the image on the device, wherein selected regions of the image are shown by having first regions of the second transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image be transparent, and by having first regions of the first transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image appear at least partially opaque; wherein the second transparent display is positioned in front of the first transparent display; wherein the second transparent display is an emissive display having emissive pixels configured to emit or modulate visible light, and the first transparent display is a non-emissive display wherein the plurality of pixels of the first transparent display are configured to reflect, transmit, or absorb visible light; wherein each of the plurality of pixels of the first transparent display is electronically controllable to display as clear, opaque, and grayscale at different times to improve contrast of the image when using an ambient light source; generating image data for a viewing cone defining an angular region from within which the first and second transparent displays can be viewed, wherein the viewing cone is located in front of the second transparent display; detecting a gaze of a person located in the viewing cone from the image data; and shifting at least one of the first regions of the second transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image or the first regions of the first transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image based on alignment of the first regions of the second transparent display with the first regions of the first transparent display determined from an angle of the gaze of the person relative to a surface of the second transparent display facing the person. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
