Abstract: A technique for masking a non-functioning pixel in a display screen includes receiving pixel values for driving pixels on the display screen with an image, identifying a sub-set of the pixel values associated with surrounding pixels that are adjacent to the non-functioning pixel in the display screen, and adjusting the pixel values of the sub-set to increase brightness of the surrounding pixels to compensate for lost brightness due to the non-functioning pixel to thereby mask visual perception of the non-functioning pixel.

Abstract: A tileable display panel includes a screen layer, an illumination layer and a display layer. The screen layer is for displaying a unified image to a viewer. The illumination layer includes at least one light source emitting lamp light into a diffusing region of the illumination layer. The illumination layer also includes a plurality of emission apertures that are each configured to emit the lamp light from the diffusing region in a divergent projection beam. The display layer is disposed between the screen layer and the illumination layer. The display layer includes a plurality of pixelets corresponding to the plurality of emission apertures. The pixelets in the plurality of pixelets are positioned to be illuminated by the divergent projection beams from the corresponding emission apertures.

Abstract: A display including a screen layer for displaying a unified image to a viewer on a viewing side of the screen layer that is opposite a backside of the screen layer, and an illumination layer having an array of light sources. Each light source in the array is configured to emit a divergent projection beam having a limited angular spread. A display layer is disposed between the screen layer and the illumination layer, and includes a matrix of pixlets, a spacing region disposed between the pixlets in the matrix, wherein the array of light sources are positioned to emit the divergent projection beams having limited angular spread to project sub-images displayed by the pixlets as magnified sub-images on the backside of the screen layer, the magnified sub-images to combine to form a substantially seamless unified image, and one or more components positioned on the display layer in the spacing region.

Abstract: A display apparatus including a screen layer for displaying a unified image to a viewer and an illumination layer having an array of light sources. Each light source emits a light beam. An array of optical elements, each coupled to a corresponding light source in the array of light sources, is disposed between the screen layer and the illumination layer. The display layer includes a matrix of pixlets and a spacing region disposed between the pixlets in the matrix, wherein the array of light sources emit their light beams through the array of optical elements, wherein each optical element is configured to shape the received light beam into a divergent projection beam having a limited angular spread to project sub-images displayed by the pixlets as magnified sub-images on the backside of the screen layer, the magnified sub-images to combine to form the unified image that is substantially seamless.
