摘要： The present invention features a tiled, flat-panel, color display that has a color-correction capability. The display is a tiled mosaic of individual display tiles, such as AMLCDs. Column and row inputs that are typically provided for a single display tile system are distributed over a plurality of display tiles. The color purity is achieved for the display by sorting the tiles into groups, matching their color coordinates, and correcting non-uniformities optically (e.g., by using a graded neutral density filter having a grading function being the inverse of the brightness distribution non-uniformities) and/or electronically. Then, each individual tile in the mosaic is color-corrected via a multiplexed, controller/driver circuit.

摘要： The present invention features a tiled, flat-panel, mosaic display with a luminance-correcting capability and having a seamlessness characteristic. Column and row inputs that are typically provided for a single flat panel are distributed over a number of tiles. The display is fabricated by sorting the tiles into groups, and matching their color coordinates prior to assembly. After assembly, measurements of the luminance of the display are processed to generate correction data, which is compressed into a reduced set of coefficients. A processor, located between a video controller and the display drivers for each of the tiles, has a memory containing these interpolation coefficients for correcting luminance in the tiles. A multiplicity of processing units is connected to the video controller and the processor for performing video correction in real time.

摘要： The present invention features a tiled, substantially flat, panel display having the characteristic of visually imperceptible seams between the tiles for the intended viewing conditions, which include the perception thresholds of the human eye, the view distance, the display brightness and the level of the ambient light. The panel consists of an image source plane having spaced-apart pixels containing light-transmitting elements comprising single or multiple lightvalves. These lightvalves transmit monochromatic light, or primary color light spectra, for example, red, green and blue, in gray-scale and color displays, respectively. Each of the pixels is located along the image source plane at a uniform pitch greater than approximately 0.2 mm. Many adjacently-situated tiles are located in a plane in proximity to the image source plane. Secondary light rays can be controlled via light shields, aperture plates, masks and optical elements. The view angles of the tiled display may be further enhanced by using dispersive, optical elements such as microlens arrays. If desired, the brightness of the tiled display can be enhanced by increasing the backlight intensity or the collection of light by using optical, focusing elements such as microlens arrays.

摘要： The present invention features techniques for designing large, robust monolithic and monolithic-like displays having good brightness and contrast over a wide range of viewing angles. These techniques include controlling the layout of the pixel array and its access circuits that modify the electrical characteristics in order to minimize undesirable optical, electro-optical, and ambient light aberrations and any electronic anomalies creating visually perceptible discontinuities or boundaries. These artifacts are reduced to levels that allow for better color correction. In addition, the use of optical components such as collimators, light enhancing films, diffusers, screens, polarizers and masks are described. The resulting displays present luminance and chromaticity outputs from areas of originally varying optical response that become uniform within the tolerances of the human visual system.
