摘要:
The invention relates to an AC plasma display panel (12) of the surface discharge type, and more specifically to the structure of the address electrodes (5) of said panel, and to a method of driving said panel. According to the invention, only one address electrode (5) is used for one out of every two columns. Scan (8) and common (7) electrodes may comprise transparent parts (11). These parts (11) may extend over one out every two cells, in a checkerboard fashion. In a preferred embodiment as shown in FIG. 7, the columns may have alternating wide (15) and narrow (16) cells (2). In the driving method according to the invention, all rows are addressed during an addressing phase, and subsequently all rows are simultaneously sustained during a sustain phase.

The display panel (21) comprises a light guide (2), a second plate (4) and a movable element (3) between both plates for locally decoupling light out of the light guide (2). Voltages, applied to electrodes (5,6 resp. 25), associated with the light guide (2), the second plate (4) and the movable element (3), locally bring the movable element (3) into 5 contact with the light guide plate (2) or the second plate (4). If, between the light guide (2) and the first electrodes (5) a layer (51) is present with a second refractive index being smaller than the first refractive index of the light guide (2), and the light guide (2) is positioned between the first electrodes (5) and the movable element (3), absorption of the light transported through the light guide plate (2) is reduced, providing a display panel (21) with 10 improved power efficiency.

The invention relates to a vacuum display device comprising a display screen (30) having picture elements (35), cathode means (20) for generating a plurality of electron beams (EB), each corresponding to one of the picture elements (35), and addressing means (41,42) for addressing the picture element (35) through modulation of the intensity of an electron beam corresponding to the picture element (35). A channel structure (10) is arranged adjacent the cathode means (20). The channel structure (10) comprises a plurality of electron beam guidance cavities (15), each corresponding to one of the picture elements (35), and protects the cathode means (20) from incident ions. The exit (17) of the cavity (15) is smaller than the entrance (16), so that an electron beam (EB) exiting from the cavity (15) has a particularly high brightness and spatial uniformity.

The invention provides a collimator comprising a first collimator face, a second collimator face, and a stack region. The stack region comprises a first layer having a first prismatically shaped top face with a plurality of 1D arranged first prisms having first prism axes, and a second layer having a second prismatically shaped top face with a plurality of 1D arranged second prisms having second prism axes. The first and second prism axes are in a crossed configuration. In a direction from the first collimator face to the second collimator face, the index of refraction of material upstream of the first prismatically shaped top face is larger than that of material downstream of the first prismatically shaped top face, and the index of refraction of material upstream of the second prismatically shaped top face is larger than that of material downstream of the second prismatically shaped top face.

An autostereoscopic display device includes a reflection layer for reflecting at least a portion of incident light, a polarization conversion layer arranged over the reflection layer, and an array of lenticular elements arranged over at least a portion of the polarization conversion layer and including a birefringent material. Light having a first state of polarization is configured to pass through the lenticular element array without substantial lenticular element focusing, where the polarization state is transformed by the polarization conversion layer such that the reflected light has a second state of polarization. Light having the second polarization state passes through the lenticular element array with the lenticular element focusing to provide multiple views to different viewing locations.

The method includes: determining a first intermediate value (811) from a 3-D representation on basis of a first one of the angular directions and coordinates of a first one of the picture elements (102); determining a second intermediate value (810) from the 3-D representation on basis of a further angular direction relative to the first plane and the coordinates of the first one of the picture elements; and combining the first intermediate value (811) and the second intermediate value (810) to the display value, the display value related to the particular output of a first one of the picture elements of the stereoscopic display apparatus (102).

An autostereoscopic image output device comprises an image panel having an array of image pixels (5) defining an image, the image pixels being arranged in rows and columns. An array of parallel lenticular elements (11) is positioned over the image panel, the lenticular elements having optical focal axes that are slanted at an angle (φ) to the image pixel columns. The image output device is operable in first and second modes, with the image panel and lenticular element array rotated by 90 degrees between the modes, thereby providing a landscape mode of operation and a portrait mode of operation, the slant angle φ in the landscape mode satisfies: 1≧tan φ≧1/2. This enables a 3D image device to be used in both the landscape and the portrait mode, while maintaining a good view-distribution and image pixel structure.

A display unit comprising electro-wetting pixels (1300) is provided. The inventive pixels (1300) provide bistable or multi-stable pixel states and thus facilitates passive matrix addressing. For this purpose an additional electrode (1305) is arranged for each multi-stable state. Consequently, each pixel comprises one counter electrode (1306) and at least one pair of address and retain electrodes (1304, 1305). In order to activate a pixel, an address potential is applied to the address and retain electrodes (1304, 1305) in relation to the counter electrode (1306), and in order to deactivate a pixel the potential is removed. In order to retain a current pixel state a retain potential is applied to only the retain electrode (1305) in relation to the counter electrode (1306); the current pixel state, be it active or passive, will then be preserved and the retain potential configuration thus provides a bistable pixel state.

An autostereoscopic display device has an array (9) of lenticular elements (11) overlying a display panel (3), the lenticular elements comprising electro-optic material (23) and being switchable to enable 2D and 3D viewing modes. The electro-optic material, for example liquid crystal material, is contained adjacent an optically transparent layer in the form of a lenticular body (21). A birefringent material is utilized for the lenticular body, preferably with the ordinary and extra-ordinary index of refraction substantially matching that of the electro-optic material.
