Abstract: A sensor comprising a thin film photovoltaic pixel is fitted with optics to provide a field-of-view for the sensing of persons, or other objects, entering or exiting said field-of-view. When a person enters the field-of-view, a processor may sense such entry, then provide signals to other electronic apparatus indicative of such an event.

Abstract: A system may include one or both of a light emitter and a light receiver. The system may include an optical filter adjacent one or both of the light emitter or the light receiver. The optical filter includes a wavelength selective scattering layer. The wavelength selective scattering layer may have a near-infrared scattering ratio of less than about 0.9. The filter may have a visible reflective haze ratio of greater than about 0.5. A method may include disposing the wavelength selective scattering layer adjacent one or both of the light emitter and the light receiver. An article may include the optical filter. The wavelength selective scattering layer may have an average near-infrared scattering of less than 60%, an average visible scattering of greater than 10%, and a difference between the % total visible reflectance and the % diffuse visible reflectance of less than 20.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes an autosteroscopic liquid crystal display panel having a frame response time of less than 10 milliseconds, and a backlight positioned to provide light to the autosteroscopic liquid crystal display. The backlight includes a right eye solid state light source and a left eye solid state light source capable of being modulated between the right eye solid state light source and a left eye solid state light source at a rate of at least 90 Hertz.

Abstract: A projection system (400) capable of projection alignment includes a projector (410), a shaped projection screen (420), one or more alignment marks (425), an image sensor (430), and a processing unit (440). The projector is configured to project an image. The shaped projection screen is configured to receive the projected image and display the projected image, the projector having a projection area (415) on the shaped projection screen. The one or more alignment marks are proximate to a border of the projection screen. The image sensor is configured to capture an image of the shaped projection screen and generate a sensor signal corresponding to the captured image. The processing unit is electronically coupled to the image sensor and configured to receive the sensor signal and determine the positions of the one or more alignment marks based on the sensor signal.
