Abstract:
A tileable display panel includes an illumination layer, a display layer, and a screen layer. The display layer is disposed between the screen layer and the lamp layer and includes pixelets. Each of the pixelets is positioned to be illuminated by lamp light from the illumination layer and to project a magnified image sub-portion onto the screen layer such that the magnified image sub-portions collectively blend together to form a unified image on the screen layer. Each of the pixelets includes core pixels and peripheral pixels surrounding the core pixels on one or more sides which provide a higher image resolution in overlap regions on the screen layer when the magnified image sub-portions overlap on the screen layer.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a process including determining a position of an observer relative to a pixel array positioned on a diffuse surface, the pixel array comprising a plurality of individual display pixels, determining the observer's viewing angle relative to the pixel array based on the position of the observer relative to the pixel array, and adjusting the brightness of the pixel array so that the brightness of the pixel array when viewed at the observer's viewing angle substantially matches the brightness of the diffuse surface when viewed at the observer's viewing angle. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
A processing unit is configured to render first pixels representative of a high-acuity region in the image and second pixels representative of a low-acuity region in the image. A shaper is configured to reorganize the first pixels based on at least one dimension of the low-acuity region. A multiplexer is configured to multiplex the reorganized first pixels and the second pixels to form a display stream. An encoder is configured to compress the display stream for transmission to a display. A decoder configured to decompress the display stream. A demultiplexer is configured to demultiplex the first pixels and the second pixels. Another processing unit is configured to blend the first pixels and the second pixels to form blended pixel values representative of the image for presentation on a screen.

Abstract:
A tileable display panel includes an illumination layer, a display layer, and a screen layer. The display layer is disposed between the screen layer and the lamp layer and includes pixelets separated from each other by spacing regions. Each of the pixelets is positioned to be illuminated by lamp light from the illumination layer and to project a magnified image sub-portion onto the backside of the screen layer such that the magnified image sub-portions collectively blend together to form a unified image on the screen layer which covers the spacing regions on the display layer. Each of the pixelets includes core pixels having a common size and a first separation pitch and peripheral pixels surrounding the core pixels on two or more sides which provide a higher image resolution in overlap regions on the screen layer when the magnified image sub-portions overlap on the screen layer.
Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms for providing an enhanced display of video content. In an embodiment, analysis of one or more frames of audio-video (AV) information is performed to identify first video data as representing smooth image content, where second video data represents edge image content. Based on the identifying of the first video data, enhancement processing is performed to selectively apply a noise component to the first video data. Of the first video data and the second video data, the enhancement processing modifies only the first video data. In another embodiment, a refresh rate for displaying a sub-portion of a magnified image is selectively set based on the first video data being identified as representing smooth image content. Enhancement with selective noise and/or refresh rate variation improves perceived resolution of smooth image content, as seen by a viewer of the resulting image.
Abstract:
A tileable display panel includes a screen layer, a display layer, and an illumination layer. The display layer includes a plurality of transmissive pixels to collectively project a unified image onto the backside of the screen layer. The transmissive pixels disposed within a perimeter region of the display layer have smaller transmission apertures than the transmissive pixels disposed within a central region of the display layer. The illumination layer generates lamp light to illuminate a backside of the display layer. The illumination layer is coupled to generate the lamp light incident on the backside of the display layer in the perimeter region with greater divergence than the lamp light incident on the backside of the display layer in the central region.

Abstract:
A display device, such as a head mounted device (HMD), displays a virtual scene. The display device includes a motion tracker for detecting rotation of the display device. The display device also includes a processor that is configured to selectively maintain or modify a position of an array of rendered pixels relative to the virtual scene in response to the detected motion. The processor is also configured to upsample the rendered pixels to generate values of display pixels for presentation by the display device. The processor is further configured to translate the values of the display pixels in a rendering plane of the display device based on the detected motion. The translated values of the display pixels can then be presented on a display of the display device.
Abstract:
A display device includes a pixel array and a display controller. The pixel array has a non-red-green-blue (non-RGB) pixel format that includes at least first, second, and third color components, and wherein sub-pixels of the first color component are present at a first resolution and sub-pixels of each of the second and third color components are present at a second resolution lower than the first resolution. The display controller is configured to receive a first image in a an RGB pixel format in which sub-pixels of the first color component, sub-pixels of the second color component, and sub-pixels of the third color component each are present in the first image at the second resolution. The display controller further is configured to scale sub-pixels of the first color component in the first image from the second resolution to the first resolution to generate a second image having the non-RGB format.
