    摘要: A front projection system and associated method are disclosed that correct distortion for a front projector device. The front projector device is characterized by off-axis optics and a throw-to-screen diagonal ratio of at most 1 which generate distortion including pincushion, keystone and anamorphic distortion components. Further, the projection device has an electronic distortion correction component operable to pre-distort an image prior to projection in order to correct for the pincushion, keystone and anamorphic distortion components of the projector device. Further, an associated method is also disclosed for correcting distortion generated in a projection system by a combination of optical and electronic correction. The method comprises setting a limit on the amount of image information that is acceptable to lose through the optical components, and selecting an optical solution is comprising optics having inherent distortion within the set limit. Then, an electronic correction component is selected that is operable to pre-distort an image to correct for remaining distortion not corrected by the optics of the optical solution.

    摘要: An apparatus for reading an optical bar code on a transparent film uses a linear array of light sources and a linear, solid-state sensor located parallel with array. LED's are energized selectively in groups to avoid overlapping shadows on the sensor. A novel algorithm is used to reconstruct the shadowgraphs or image segments by searching for a transition (mark/space edge in the bar code) in an overlap zone at the boundary of adjacent segments on the sensor. Conventional techniques are then used to decode the reconstructed electronic image of the bar code. The apparatus is particularly useful in an electronic presentation system wherein the numeric value of the bar code is an image reference number (IRN) which is used to access a host computer and display a graphic image associated with the IRN. A novel bi-directional protocol is also presented for providing communications between the optical reader and the host computer. The protocol directs the host computer to download all IRN's for a given presentation to the reader. The reader can then locally determine if a bar code on a card corresponds to a valid IRN in the current presentation. The protocol may be adapted to download certain display control information and send associated control signals to the host computer based on keyboard input at the reader.

    摘要: A projection system and a display that incorporates the projection system are provided. The projection system includes at least one electroluminescent device that emits a first wavelength of light, at least one semiconductor multilayer stack that downconverts the first wavelength of light to a second wavelength of light, and a scanning optical element that transmits the light along a scanned direction. The electroluminescent device can be part of an array of electroluminescent devices, and can be monolithic. The semiconductor multilayer stack can be part of an array of semiconductor multilayer stacks, and can also be monolithic. The scanning optical element can be positioned to scan the electroluminescent device across the semiconductor multilayer stack, or it can be positioned to scan the downconverted light after it has left the semiconductor multilayer stack.

    摘要: A luminaire includes a light pipe having an optical axis. The light pipe includes a tube with a structured outer surface and a smooth inner surface. A reflective light extractor is positioned in the tube such that light reflected by the extractor will strike the tube on a first side. The first side has a contour such that the direction of travel of light reflected by the extractor will have a projection in the plane perpendicular to the optical axis that makes a predetermined angle with the smooth surface.
