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:
A display apparatus including a screen layer for displaying a unified image to a viewer and an illumination layer having an array of light sources. Each light source emits a light beam. An array of optical elements, each coupled to a corresponding light source in the array of light sources, is disposed between the screen layer and the illumination layer. The display layer includes a matrix of pixlets and a spacing region disposed between the pixlets in the matrix, wherein the array of light sources emit their light beams through the array of optical elements, wherein each optical element is configured to shape the received light beam into a divergent projection beam having a limited angular spread to project sub-images displayed by the pixlets as magnified sub-images on the backside of the screen layer, the magnified sub-images to combine to form the unified image that is substantially seamless.
Abstract:
A system and method of driving images on displays includes receiving image content in a processing unit. When a peak data condition is identified, pixel rows of at least one display are updated in a non-sequential order in response to identifying the peak data condition.

Abstract:
A rear projection screen includes an array of pin-hole apertures to pass display light incident from a first side of the rear projection screen through to a viewing side of the rear projection screen opposite the first side. An array of concentrator structures surrounds the pin-hole apertures and defines concentrating optical pathways. The concentrating optical pathways each have an input aperture for collecting the display light and an output defined by a corresponding one of the pin-hole apertures to emit the display light. The input apertures are larger than the pin-hole apertures.
Abstract:
A tileable display panel includes a screen layer, an illumination layer and a display layer. The screen layer is for displaying a unified image to a viewer. The illumination layer includes at least one light source emitting lamp light into a diffusing region of the illumination layer. The illumination layer also includes a plurality of emission apertures that are each configured to emit the lamp light from the diffusing region in a divergent projection beam. The display layer is disposed between the screen layer and the illumination layer. The display layer includes a plurality of pixelets corresponding to the plurality of emission apertures. The pixelets in the plurality of pixelets are positioned to be illuminated by the divergent projection beams from the corresponding emission apertures.
Abstract:
A projection screen includes a transparent substrate having a front side and a backside, a dark film disposed across the front side of the transparent substrate, an array of holes disposed through the dark film, a diffusing layer disposed between the transparent substrate and the dark film, and an array of lenses disposed across the backside of the transparent substrate. The array of lenses are aligned to focus display light incident through the array of lenses towards the array of holes and the diffusing layer diffuses the display light for emission out the array of holes as diffuse display light.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure describe a tileable display panel including a screen layer to display a unified image, an illumination layer including a two-dimensional array of lamps, and a display layer disposed between the screen layer and illumination layer. The display layer includes a plurality of pixelets each positioned to be illuminated by a corresponding lamp from the illumination layer to project a magnified image sub-portion corresponding to a received subset. The magnified image sub-portions collectively blend together to form the unified image displayed on the screen layer. Embodiments of the disclosure further include illumination layer control logic to determine a brightness value of each of the received subsets of pixel data, and adjust an illumination setting to reduce or increase an illumination output of a lamp in the illumination layer based, at least on part, on the brightness values of the corresponding subset of pixel data.

Abstract:
A display panel includes a carrier substrate, a system interconnect, and a plurality of display modules disposed across the carrier substrate. The display modules are each communicatively coupled to the system interconnect to each output a different portion of an overall image communicated via the system interconnect. Each of the display modules includes an array of direct emission display pixels and a module interconnect to couple the array of direct emission display pixels to the system interconnect. The array of direct emission display pixels of a given display module of the plurality of display modules is distinct and separate from the array of direct emission display pixels of other display modules of the plurality of display modules.
