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: 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 apparatus includes a display layer for generating images to be viewable from a viewing region and an aesthetic layer disposed over the display layer. Activation circuitry is coupled to activate the aesthetic layer in response to an input. When the aesthetic layer is activated, it emits or reflects aesthetic light.

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: A display apparatus includes a screen layer, an illumination layer, and a display layer. The screen layer is for displaying a unified image to a viewer on a viewing side of the screen layer. The illumination layer includes an array of light sources and each light source in the array is configured to emit a divergent projection beam having a limited angular spread. The display layer is disposed between the screen layer and the illumination layer. The display layer includes a matrix of pixelets and a spacing region disposed between the pixelets in the matrix. The array of light sources are positioned to emit the divergent projection beams having limited angular spread to project sub-images displayed by the pixelets as magnified sub-images on the backside of the screen layer. The magnified sub-images combine to form the unified image that is substantially seamless.
