Detailed Description

[0008] Displays can be devices to display digital images utilizing a plurality of light sources defined as pixels. In some examples, a display can be a computing display, a laptop display, a phone display, and/or a television display. Displays can be utilized to perform a plurality of different functions. For example, displays can be coupled to computing devices to allow a user to make selections, play video, view images, and/or interact with the computing device. In some examples, the display can be utilized to display visual images or video such as a video game, movie, or other type of visual media. These types of visual images can be engaging to a user of the display.

[0009] In some examples, the display can be coupled to a display stand. As used herein, a display stand can include a device that is capable of securing a display (e.g., monitor, television, etc.) to a surface (e.g., desk, television stand, etc.). In some examples, the display stands can include functions to couple the display to a surface and/or organize cords associated with the display. However, previous display stands may not add functionality associated with the operation of the display. For example, previous display stands may not provide additional functions other than securing the display and cords associated with the display.

[0010] The present disclosure relates to systems and devices for display stands with lighting systems that can be interactive with what is being displayed on the display coupled to the display stand. For example, the display stand can include a controller to determine a pixel color displayed by pixels on the display and instruct light sources coupled to the display stand based on the determined pixel color. In this way, the display stand can be interactive with what is being displayed on the display. In other examples, the display stands described herein can include a frame that extends around the display enclosure such that a plurality of light sources coupled to the frame can be directed toward the edges of the display. In this way, the plurality of light sources can appear to extend the edges of the display to the edges of the frame. In addition, the plurality of light sources can be utilized to direct light toward a rear portion of the display and a front portion of the display when the frame extends beyond the rear portion and the front portion of the display.

[0011] Figure 1 is an example display stand 102 for a display 101 consistent with the present disclosure. In some examples, the display stand 102 can include a frame that extends around the edges of the display 101. For example, the display stand 102 can include a number of sides that can surround the entire display 101 when the display 101 is coupled to the display stand 102. In this example, the number of sides can correspond to the number of sides of the display 101. In some examples, the display 101 can include a plurality of light sources 110-1, 110-2, 110- 3, 110-4. The display 101 can include display technologies such as, but not limited to: liquid crystal display (LCD) technologies, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), light emitting diodes (LEDs), and/or micoLEDs. In some examples, the display 101 can include a plurality of light sources 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4 that can act as a backlight for an LCD.

[0012] In some examples, the display 101 can be coupled to the display stand 102 through attachment mechanisms 104-1, 104-2. In some examples, the attachment mechanisms 104-1, 104-2 can extend from an interior portion of the display stand 102 to an exterior side of the display 101. For example, a first attachment mechanism 104-1 can be coupled to a first side of an interior portion of the display stand 102 and a second attachment mechanism 104-2 can be coupled to a second side of the interior portion of the display stand 102. In this example, the first attachment mechanism 104-1 can be coupled to a first side of the display 101 at an exterior portion and the second attachment mechanism 104-2 can be coupled to a second side of the display 101 at an exterior portion. In some examples, the attachment mechanisms 104-1, 104-2 can be positioned on the interior right side and interior left side of the display stand 102 as illustrated in Figure 1 , however examples are not so limited. For example, the attachment mechanisms 104-1, 104-2 can be positioned in other locations such as the top interior portion and/or bottom interior portion as illustrated in Figure 1. In some examples, a greater number of attachment mechanisms 104-1, 104-2 can be added to increase rigidity of the connection between the display 101 and the display stand 102.

[0013] In some examples, the attachment mechanisms 104-1, 104-2 can create spaces 106-1, 106-2, 106-3, 106-4 between the edges of the display 101 and the interior sides of the display stand 102. In this way, the spaces 106-1, 106-2, 106-

3, 106-4 can create an appearance that the display stand 102 is a frame around the display 101. As used herein, a frame can include a physical structure that is positioned around the edges of the display 101 with a space (e.g., spaces 106-1 , 106-2, 106-3, 106-4, etc.) between the frame and the display 101. In some examples, the spaces 106-1 , 106-2, 106-3, 106-4 can allow a plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 coupled to the display stand 102 to be directed toward the corresponding edges of the display 101.

[0014] In some examples, each edge of the display stand 102 (e.g., frame, etc.) can include a corresponding plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-

4. In some examples, the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can be light sources such as, but not limited to: light emitting diodes (LEDs), display screens, or other elements to project light in a particular direction. For example, the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can include LEDs that are positioned along an interior portion of the display stand 102. Since the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 are positioned along the interior portion of the display stand 102, the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can be directed toward the display 101, toward an edge of the display 101 , toward a front surface of the display 101 , and/or toward a rear surface of the display 101. In this way, the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can create an aura of light that surrounds the front, sides, and/or rear of the display 101.

[0015] As used herein, an aura includes a lighting scheme that surrounds a particular object or person. In some examples, the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can be utilized to surround a portion of the display 101. For example, a first side of the display stand 102 can include light sources 108-1 and a second side of the display stand 102 may not include light sources. In these examples, the light sources 108-1 can create a partial aura on the side of the light sources 108-1. In some examples, the partial aura can be created on a top side of the display 101 when the top side of the display stand 102 includes the light sources 108-2 and a partial aura can be created on a bottom side of the display 101 when the bottom side of the display stand 102 includes the light sources 108-4. In this way, a first side and a corresponding second side can create a partial aura.

[0016] In some examples, the spaces 106-1, 106-2, 106-3, 106-4 can allow a user to view a surface or area behind the display 101. For example, the spaces 106- 1, 106-2, 106-3, 106-4 can allow a user to view a wall or object positioned behind the display 101 and/or display stand 102. In some examples, the light emitted by the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can be directed toward the wall or objects positioned behind the display 101 and/or display stand 102. The light emitted can make the spaces 106-1, 106-2, 106-3, 106-4, wall, and/or objects positioned behind the display 101 appear to be filled with the color or light emitted by the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4. In this way, the spaces 106- 1 , 106-2, 106-3, 106-4 can appear to be part of the display 101 or appear to accent the display 101.

[0017] In some examples, the display stand 102 can include a controller communicatively coupled to the controller. As used herein, a controller can include a computing device that includes a processing resource and a memory resource to store instructions executable by the processing resource to perform particular functions. As used herein, communicatively coupled includes connecting two devices through a communication path. In some examples, the communication path can include a wired connection and/or a wireless connection. In this way, the controller can be a remote controller or a controller that is physically located within the display stand 102. For example, the controller can be utilized to alter a color of the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 based on a mode of the display 101. In some examples, the controller can be utilized to determine a mode of the display 101. In these examples, the mode of the display 101 can reflect a mood, action, or color scheme of an image or video being displayed on the display 101. For example, the mode of the display 101 can correspond to a relatively high intensity moment (e.g., goal achieved, level passed, etc.) during a movie or video game. In this example, the controller can alter the color and/or intensity of the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 to correspond to a relatively high intensity moment (e.g., relatively high brightness, bright colors, altering from low brightness to high brightness, etc.).

[0018] In other examples, the mode of the display 101 can include a particular function being utilized by the display 101. For example, the mode of the display 101 can include a type of media (e.g., type of movie, type of video game, work related activities, etc.) being presented on the display 101. In this example, the controller can alter the color and intensity of the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 to a first color and intensity when a word document is displayed on the display 101 and then alter the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 to a second color and intensity when a movie is displayed on the display 101.

[0019] In some examples, a color and/or intensity (e.g., brightness, etc.) of the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can be altered based on a color and/or intensity of a plurality of pixels 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4 of the display. As used herein, the plurality of pixels 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4 can include light sources of the display 101 and/or a light emission of a display 101. In some examples, a controller can be utilized to determine a color and/or intensity of the plurality of pixels 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4. In some examples, the controller can determine a color and/or intensity that represents a majority of the plurality of pixels 110-1 , 110-2, 110-3, 110-4. For example, the controller can determine that a majority of the plurality of pixels 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4 are the color red with a particular intensity. In this example, the controller can alter the color of the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 to the color red with the particular intensity. In this way, the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can reflect the majority color and/or majority intensity of the plurality of pixels 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4.

[0020] Although a single display 101 and display stand 102 are illustrated, examples of the present disclosure are not so limited. For example, a first display with a first display stand can be positioned next to a second display with a second display stand. In other examples, the display stand 102 can be utilized with multiple displays positioned within the display stand 102. In these examples, the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 of the display stand 102 can be synchronized in unison or controlled separately. For example, the display stand 102 can include multiple displays and the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can be synchronized with each of the displays to create an aura around the multiple displays. In other examples, each of the multiple displays within the display stand 102 can be synchronized with the plurality of light sources 108-1, 108-2, 108- 3, 108-4 separately. For example, a first display on a first side of the display stand 102 can utilize a first brightness or color and a second display on a second side of the display stand 102 can utilize a second brightness or color that is different than the first brightness or color. In this way, the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 on the first side can be altered to the first brightness or color and the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 on the second side can be altered to the second brightness or color.

[0021] In some examples, the color and/or intensity of the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can be altered by a controller to reflect an adjacent pixel of the plurality of pixels 110-1 , 110-2, 110-3, 110-4. For example, a controller can determine a color of a particular pixel 110-3 from the plurality of pixels 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4 and determine an adjacent light source 108-3 from the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4. In this example, the adjacent light source 108-3 can be altered to the same or similar color as the particular pixel 110-3 and can be dynamically altered based on a currently displayed color and/or intensity of the particular pixel 110-3. In this way, each of the plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 can correspond to an adjacent pixel of the plurality of pixels 110-1 , 110-2, 110-3, 110-4 which can visually extend the display 101 through the spaces 106-1, 106-2, 106-3, 106-4. As used herein, an adjacent pixel to a light source can include a pixel or portion of pixels that are positioned near an edge of the display 101 and more closely positioned compared to other pixels of the display 101. [0022] Figure 2 is an example system 200 for a display stand 202 with a plurality of light sources 208 consistent with the present disclosure. In some examples, the display stand 202 can be the same or similar device as display stand 102 as referenced in Figure 1. In addition, the display 201 can be the same or similar device as display 101 as referenced in Figure 1. For example, the display 201 can include a plurality of pixels 210 (e.g., plurality of pixels 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4 as referenced in Figure 1) and the display stand 202 can include a plurality of light sources 208 (e.g., plurality of light sources 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 as referenced in Figure 1). As described herein, the display 201 can be coupled to the display stand 202 through an attachment mechanism 204 to create spaces between an edge of the display 201 and an interior surface of the display stand 202.

[0023] In some examples, the display stand 202 can include a frame to surround a display 201 when the display 201 is coupled to the display stand 202. In some examples, the edges of the frame are a greater distance than the edges of the display 201. For example, the width of each side of the frame of the display stand 202 can be a greater distance or greater width than the width of the display 201. As described herein, the greater distance or width of the display stand 202 can be utilized to project light from the plurality of light sources 208 parallel to a front portion of the display 201 and/or parallel to a back portion of the display 201.

[0024] In some examples, the plurality of light sources 208 can be coupled to an interior edge of the frame of the display stand 202 to direct light towards a corresponding edge of the display 201. As described herein, the interior edge of the frame of the display stand 202 can be a surface of the display stand 202 that is facing the display 201 and/or facing an edge of the display 201. In this way, the plurality of light sources 208 can be directed toward the edge of the display 201 , toward the front portion of the display 201 , and/or toward the back portion of the display 201. In this way, the plurality of light sources 208 can be utilized to direct light toward a front portion of the display 201 , toward an edge of the display 201 to fill a space between the display 201 and the display stand 202, and/or toward a rear portion of the display 201. Thus, the light sources 208 can be visible on a wall or objects positioned behind the display 201.

[0025] In some examples, the system 200 can include a connection interface to communicatively couple the display stand 202 to the display 201. As used herein, a connection interface can be a physical or wireless communication interface. In some examples, the connection interface can include a physical or wireless power interface. That is, the connection interface can be utilized to provide electrical power and/or communication to be transferred between the display stand 202 and the display 201.

[0026] In some examples, the system 200 can include a controller 220 that can be communicatively coupled to the display 201 and/or display stand 202 through a communication path 232. As described herein, the controller 220 can be physically distinct from the display stand 202 and the communication path 232 can be through a network (e.g., local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), Internet, etc.). In some examples, the controller 220 can include a processing resource 222 and a memory resource 224 storing instructions 226, 228. A processing resource 222, as used herein, can include a number of processing resources capable of executing instructions stored by a memory resource 224. The instructions 226, 228 (e.g., machine-readable instructions (MRI)) can include instructions stored on the memory resource 224 and executable by the processing resource 222 to implement a particular function (e.g., determine color and intensity of pixels 210, alter a color and intensity of light sources 208, etc.). The memory resource 224, as used herein, can include a number of memory components capable of storing non-transitory instructions that can be executed by processing resource 222.

[0027] The memory resource 224 can be in communication with the processing resource 222 via a communication link (e.g., path). The communication link can be local or remote to an electronic device associated with the processing resource 222. The memory resource 224 includes instructions 226, 228. The memory resource 224 can include more or fewer instructions than illustrated to perform the various functions described herein. In some examples, instructions (e.g., software, firmware, etc.) 226, 228 can be downloaded and stored in memory resource 224 (e.g., MRM) as well as a hard-wired program (e.g., logic), among other possibilities. [0028] Instructions 226, when executed by a processing resource such as processing resource 222 can initiate a mode of the plurality of light sources 208 based on a signal received from a peripheral device coupled to the display. As described herein, the display 201 and/or display stand 202 can be coupled to a computing device to display images generated by the computing device. In these examples, the computing device can support a peripheral device such as, but not limited to: a mouse, a keyboard, a joystick, among other types of peripheral devices. As described herein, the mode of the plurality of light sources 208 can be based on a mode of the display 201. For example, the mode of the plurality of light sources 208 can be based on a type of function being performed by the display 201. In this example, the type of function can include displaying a video game, displaying a video, displaying a workstation, among other functions that can be performed by the display 201. In these examples, a user can utilize a peripheral device to select a mode for the corresponding function being performed by the display 201 and/or particular function that the display 201 is being utilized to perform.

[0029] Instructions 228, when executed by a processing resource such as processing resource 222 can instruct the plurality of light sources 208 to emit a particular color based on an event associated with the display 201. In some examples, the event associated with the display 201 can include a particular color scheme being displayed by the display 201, a particular action being performed during a video or video game, a particular mood of a movie or video, and/or other events that can occur on a display 201. As used herein, an event includes a particular color and/or intensity of pixels used to portray a particular feeling or mood. For example, an event can include a time when a player dies in a video game. In this example, the color and intensity of the screen can be altered to a illustrate that the player has died and the controller 220 can identify that the event has occurred and alter the color and/or intensity of the plurality of light sources 208 to correspond to the color and intensity of the pixels 210.

[0030] Figure 3 is an example system 300 for a display stand 302 with a plurality of light sources 308 consistent with the present disclosure. In some examples, the system 300 can include the same or similar elements as system 200 as referenced in Figure 2. For example, the system 300 can include a display stand 302 coupled to a display 301 utilizing an attachment mechanism 304. As described herein, the display stand 302 can be utilized to surround the edges or borders of the display 301 and/or create a space between the edges of the display 301 and the interior portions of the display stand 302. In this way, the plurality of light sources 308 can be directed to the sides or edges of the display 301 to fill the spaces with the light emitted from the plurality of light sources 308.

[0031] In some examples, the display stand 302 can include a frame coupled to an edge of a display 301 such that the frame extends around an enclosure of the display 301 creating a space 306 between the enclosure of the display 301 and the frame of the display stand 302. As described herein, the space 306 can generate an appearance of a frame positioned around the display 301. In some examples, the display stand can include a plurality of light sources 308 coupled to the frame to direct light toward the space 306 between the enclosure of the display 301 and the frame of the display stand 302.

[0032] In some examples, the display stand 302 can include integrated hardware 303. As used herein, integrated hardware 303 can include mechanisms or devices that can be utilized by a peripheral device but is located within an enclosure. For example, the integrated hardware 303 can include a charging mechanism coupled to an interior portion of the frame of the display stand 302. That is, a wireless charging coil can be positioned within an edge of the display stand 302 and utilized to charge peripheral devices such as cell phones, tablets, etc. As described further herein, the plurality of light sources 308 can be utilized to indicate a location of the integrated hardware 303.

[0033] In some examples, the system 300 can include a controller 320 that can be communicatively coupled to the display 301 and/or display stand 302 through a communication path 332. As described herein, the controller 320 can be physically distinct from the display stand 302 and the communication path 332 can be through a network (e.g., local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), Internet, etc.). In some examples, the controller 320 can include a processing resource 322 and a memory resource 324 storing instructions 326, 328. In some examples, the processing resource 322 can be the same or similar device as processing resource 222 as referenced in Figure 2. In addition, the memory resource 324 can be the same or similar device as memory resource 224 as referenced in Figure 2.

[0034] Instructions 334, when executed by a processing resource such as processing resource 322 can alter a first portion of the plurality of light sources 308 to the first color in response to identifying that the first color represents a majority of pixels 310 displayed by the display 301. As described herein, the controller 320 can be utilized to monitor and determine a color and intensity of the plurality of pixels 310. Thus, the controller 320 can determine a color that represents the majority of pixels 310. In these examples, the controller 320 can alter the first portion of the plurality of light sources 308 to be the same or similar color as the majority of pixels 310. In some examples, the first portion of the plurality of light sources 308 can be light sources 308 that are not positioned on or over the integrated hardware 303. In some examples, the first portion of the plurality of light sources 308 can display a color and/or intensity based on a color and/or intensity of an adjacent pixel 310. In these examples, the first portion of the plurality of light sources 308 can be altered to be the same or similar color and/or intensity as a pixel positioned near a corresponding light source 308.

[0035] Instructions 336, when executed by a processing resource such as processing resource 322 can alter a second portion of the plurality of light sources 308 to a second color to identify integrated hardware 303 such as a charging location for the charging mechanism. In some examples, the second portion of the plurality of light sources 308 can be positioned within an access area of the integrated hardware 303. For example, the second portion of the plurality of light sources 308 can be positioned within a charging radius of a wireless charging mechanism. As used herein, a charging radius includes an area that allows a device to receive a wireless charging signal from a wireless charging mechanism.
