    摘要: An SLM-based video receiver (10) receives a video input of some standardized format at a signal interface unit (11) and passes the input to a processor (12). The processor (12) performs analog-to-digital conversion if the pixel data is analog and also performs other enhancements to prepare the pixel data for loading into a video memory (14). The pixel data from the processor (12), representing a field of pixel data, is stored into the memory (14) for loading into rows of pixel elements of a spatial light modulator (16). The spatial light modulator (16) receives the pixel data in rows and each individual pixel element responds accordingly. The pixel elements of the spatial light modulator (16) emit light or reflect light from a source (18) and generate a video frame for display on a screen (20). By exploiting the addressing functions of the spatial light modulator (16), the SLM-based video receiver (10) displays a video frame using a field of pixel data.

    摘要: A digital television system (10) System (10) may receive a video signal at composite video interface and separation circuit (16). The video signal is separated into component form by composite video interface and separation circuit (16). The component video signals are converted to digital component video signals in analog to digital converter circuit (18). Line slicer (14) divides each line of digital component video signal into a plurality of channels such that each channel may be processed in parallel by channel signal processors (22a) through (22d). Each channel signal processor (22a) through (22d) may provide two lines of output for each line of video input. The processed digital component video signals may be formatted for displays (26a) through (26c) in formatters (24a) through (24c). Each formatter (24a) through (24c) may comprise a plurality of first in-first out buffer memories (34a) through (34j). One of each channel signal processors (22a ) through (22d) may be coupled to two of first in-first out buffer memories (34a) through (34j). Additionally, each formatter (24a) through (24c) may comprise channel data format units (38a) through (38d), each associated with a channel of, for example, display (24a). Channel data format units (38a) through (38d) are coupled to appropriate of first in-first out buffer memories (34a) through (34j) via multiplexers (36a) through (36d). Each formatter (24a) through (24c) may remove overlap between channels of system (10) and may format the processed video signal into appropriate channels for displays (26a) through (26c).

    摘要: A method and device for producing an accurate approximation of a digital input word translated by a monotonic transfer function. The digital word is translated into a non-monotonic output word comprised of a closest-approximation component and an error component. The error component is zero for regions in which each consecutive input word produces a unique closest-approximation component. In regions in which each consecutive input word produces the same closest-approximation component, the error signal represents the number of consecutive input words which produce the same closest-approximation component, and the position within that run of consecutive input words occupied by the present input word.

    摘要: A method and structure for a display system having multiple spatial light modulators (SLMs) (16), each of which contributes an image of one color that is perceived by the viewer as a combined image. The SLMs (16) have more rows and columns of pixel elements (42) than rows or columns of pixel data to be displayed. A window of "active" pixel elements (42) can be shifted up and down or right and left by selecting which pixel elements (42) are to receive data. The addressing circuit (31, 31a, 35, 35a) of each SLM 16 can be controlled so as to accomplish this shifting.

    摘要: A SLM-based projection display system (10) samples and processes video data for delivery to a spatial light modulator (SLM) (13c), and uses a color wheel (14a) to color the SLM-generated images. A frame memory (13b) provides data to the SLM (13c) and is managed so that, if the phase of the incoming video signal changes, a desired phase relationship between the color wheel position and the data available to the SLM (13c) can be maintained. Also, a motor control unit (15a) uses a horizontal sync signal to generate a drive signal for the color wheel motor (16a), which limits the transient time during phase-changing events, and which provides a means for adjusting the phase of the drive signal.
