摘要:
A method and an apparatus for addressing a liquid crystal display (10) groups together row electrodes (28) and applies the same row addressing signal to all row electrodes in the group (48). The groupings are cyclically changed in successive addressing cycles. An image data conditioner (54) determines for use in calculating the column signals a pixel information value based upon the information values of one or more of the pixels in the selected group of row. Grouping the row electrodes reduces the effective multiplex ratio, thereby increasing the selection ratio and producing a faster responding display having higher contrast and a wider viewing angle.

Method and apparatus for providing gray level addressing for passive liquid crystal display (LCD) panels having overlapping row and column electrodes defining pixels are disclosed. Depending upon whether the rows are being addressed by "standard" or "Swift" addressing, the signals for applying to the column electrodes are determined by different calculations, in all of which modes the amplitudes of the column signals are related to the gray level desired to be displayed by the individual pixels. For a split interval system, column signals of appropriate amplitude and polarity are applied during different subintervals of a characteristic time interval of the display panel depending upon the method of addressing the rows. In the full interval mode, the column signals applied over a full time interval are based on the desired gray level of all the pixels in the column, adjusted to provide the proper rms voltage across all the pixels so that they display the desired gray levels. The adjustment can be spread across multiple addressing intervals and can be added into the column signal when rows are selected or can be applied to the column electrode when no row is selected.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for providing gray level addressing for passive matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) panels having pixels defined by overlapping row and column electrodes. The pixels have optical states determined by the rms voltage appearing across the pixels during a frame period. The frame period is divided into characteristic time intervals, which are further divided into sub-intervals. The amplitude of the column signals during each of the sub-intervals is determined from the desired gray level of the pixel or pixels defined by the corresponding column electrode and selected one or ones of the row electrodes.

摘要:
A non-emissive flat panel display, such as an LCD having a plurality of pixels defined by the overlapping areas of row and column electrodes, is provided with a novel mask arrangement to block light from leaking through the interpixel spaces or gaps without electrically shorting the electrodes. The light-blocking mask is split into two parts, with one part deposited on each substrate to block the light from being transmitted through the inter-electrode gaps on the opposite substrate to improve the contrast ratio of the display.

An illumination system and a projection system incorporating same are disclosed. The illumination system includes a two-dimensional array of independently operable light sources. Each light source illuminates substantially the entire active area of a pixelated optical light modulator. Each light source emits light in different emission directions. Each emission direction is directed to a respective location in the active area. Each pixel in the active area is illuminated by an incident cone of light from the two-dimensional array of independently operable light sources. The cone has a cone angle and includes at least one light ray from each light source. The cone angle of at least one such cone of light can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of one or more of the independently operable light sources.
