Abstract

The portable communicating device with transparent display includes a control unit; a communication module is coupled to the control unit, and a memory is coupled to the control unit. At least one image sensor is coupled to the control unit; a transparent display without an opaque shell is coupled to the control unit and wherein the transparent display includes two transparent substrates, each of the two transparent substrates includes a transparent electrodes, light emitting substances provided between the two transparent substrates; wherein the transparent display allow a user to see through the transparent display at least when the transparent display is not displayed.

Claims (34)

1. A portable phone with eye motion detection comprising:

a control unit;

a communication module coupled to said control unit;

a memory coupled to said control unit;

an antenna coupled to said communication module;

at least one eye image detection sensor coupled to said control unit, wherein said at least one eye image detection sensor includes CMOS or CCD sensor, wherein said at least one eye image detection sensor is provided to detect eye motion of said user, wherein said control unit analyzes image change of said eye motion to output a first control signal to control a first virtual object without touching said display;

a display coupled to said control unit

a microphone coupled to said control unit, and a vocal control software in said portable phone for inputting a vocal and output a second control signal through voice recognition, and controlling said portable phone without touching said display; and

a touch sensing device situated on said display to allow said user input a gesture on said display;

a neural activity sensor coupled to said control unit to detect a neural activity signal including EEG, EOG, EMG or the combination to output a third control signal to control a second virtual object without touching said display; wherein said neural activity signal is transmitted via wired or wireless to said control unit, if a predetermined signal is sensed by said neural activity sensor, said control unit being responsive to said neural activity signal to issue said second control signal to control said second virtual object on said display.

2. The portable phone of claim 1 , wherein said first control signal includes cursor movement, character input, application instruction, webpage movement, bar scroll or image size change.

3. The portable phone of claim 1 , wherein at least one light source is used to project light at user's pupil.

4. The portable phone of claim 1 , wherein a transparent substrate of said display includes glass, quartz substrate.

5. The portable phone of claim 1 , wherein said antenna includes transparent antenna formed on said display to minimize the EM shielding effect, thereby improving signal receiving/transmitting performance.

6. A portable phone with eye motion detection comprising:

a control unit;

a display coupled to said control unit; at least one eye motion detection sensor coupled to said control unit, wherein said at least one eye motion detection sensor is provided to detect eye motion of said user, wherein said control unit analyzes image change of said eye motion to output a first control signal to control a first virtual object without touching said display;

a microphone coupled to said control unit, and a vocal control software in said portable phone for inputting a vocal and output a second control signal through voice recognition, and controlling said portable phone without touching said display; and

a touch sensing device situated on said display;

a neural activity sensor coupled to said control unit to detect a neural activity signal including EEG, EOG, EMG or the combination to output a third control signal to control a second virtual object without touching said display; wherein said neural activity signal is transmitted via wired or wireless to said control unit, if a predetermined signal is sensed by said neural activity sensor, said control unit being responsive to said neural activity signal to issue said second control signal to control said second virtual object on said display.

7. The portable phone of claim 6 , wherein said first control signal includes cursor movement, character input, application instruction, webpage movement, bar scroll or image size change.

8. The portable phone of claim 6 , wherein at least one light source is used to project light at user's pupil.

9. The portable phone of claim 6 , wherein said display comprises a transparent substrate which includes glass, quartz substrate.

10. The portable phone of claim 6 , wherein said antenna includes transparent antenna formed on said display to minimize the EM shielding effect, thereby improving signal receiving/transmitting performance.

11. A portable phone with eye or finger motion detection comprising:

a control unit;

a display coupled to said control unit;

at least one eye or finger image detection sensor coupled to said control unit, wherein said at least one eye or finger image detection sensor is provided to detect eye or finger image of said user, wherein said control unit analyzes image change of said eye or finger image to output a first control signal to control a virtual object without touching said display, wherein said at least one eye or finger image detection sensor includes CMOS or CCD image sensor;

a microphone coupled to said control unit, and a vocal control software in said portable phone for inputting a vocal and output a second control signal through voice recognition, and controlling said portable phone without touching said display;

a neural activity sensor coupled to said control unit to detect a neural activity signal including EEG, EOG, EMG or the combination to output a third control signal to control said mobile phone without touching said display; wherein said neural activity signal is transmitted via wired or wireless to said control unit, if a predetermined signal is sensed by said neural activity sensor,

said control unit being responsive to said neural activity signal to issue said third control signal; and

a touch sensing device situated on said display.

12. The portable phone of claim 11 , wherein said first control signal includes cursor movement, character input, application instruction, webpage movement, bar scroll or image size change.

13. The portable phone of claim 11 , wherein said display includes glass, quartz substrate.
