    摘要: A panoramic annular lens system (PAL), a unitary video camera and a PC-based software system that unwraps a 360° video image into a seamless, distortion free horizontal image image in real time. The PAL system of the preferred embodiment has a 360° horizontal field of view and a 90° vertical field of view in a 40 mm diameter compact package. The invention is not limited to any particular type of lens system. In fact, there are numerous lens systems for providing a 360° panoramic view. The video camera may be a CCD or CMOS based device having a pixel resolution of either 1280×1024 (high resolution) or 720×480 (NTSC). The unwrapping system is a radiometric ray tracing program carried out using a computer's graphics card capabilities to produce highly efficient regional transformation while minimizing software overhead. The result is real time, high resolution 30 fps conversion from a spherical distorted image to a flat panoramic image in Cartesian coordinates.

    摘要: A backlight apparatus comprised of a light pipe with one or more light input ends, a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing side, a non imaging optic collimator and scatter inducing elements. The non imaging optic collimator causes the light rays entering into the light pipe to be directed towards the far end relative to the light input end in a specified angular distribution. Pluralities of scatter induced elements (SIE) are introduced in the body of the light pipe between the applicable light input end and the corresponding far end. Individual scatter induced elements may be formed in any geometry, and may be grouped or separated such that there exists a variation of SIE each individually or as grouped, possessing discrete geometries. The light pipe may also vary in the quantity of said SIE at any specified location of the device, and each SIE will have an index of refraction either greater or lesser relative to the index of refraction of the light pipe at the location surrounding the individual scatter induced element. The said SIE cause the light rays to exit the top surface of the device at a specific angular profile and at a specific angular direction with reference to the plane of the light pipe.

    摘要: An LED-based backlighting system that provides excellent brightness and homogeneity suitable for high performance multi-color and high resolution portable displays such as for PDAs and cell phones. Several different but similar embodiments are disclosed. Some are suitable for use with multiple LEDs and some for use with a single LED. In a first such embodiment, multiple LEDs are located adjacent the input edge of a light pipe. The input edge contains fixed pitch grooves to propagate the LED light in a direction that is substantially angled toward the bottom surface of the light pipe along its entire area. The light pipe bottom surface also has grooves for altering the direction of the LED light toward the upper surface of the light pipe where it exits the light pipe toward a viewer. The exterior of the exit surface of the light pipe receives a light shaping diffuser (LSD) and an optical film. The diffuser acts to diffuse and distribute the exiting light at selected horizontal and vertical angles and the optical film shapes. In a second embodiment, a second LSD is positioned above the optical film. In a third embodiment, an LSD strip having a foreshortened LSD is positioned below the light pipe adjacent the input edge to better reduce hot spots near the LEDs.
