Abstract:
One embodiment of a display system includes a control module (28) that controls a position of an adjustable neutral density filter (30) based on a calculated filter setting and that controls modulation of a set of frame data (16) by an image modulator based on a calculated gain setting, and an image analysis module (22) that calculates a gain setting and a filter setting for the set of frame data and forwards the calculated gain setting and the filter setting to said control module.
Abstract:
A display system (10) includes a mechanism to provide for simultaneous pixelated color with a spatial light modulator (16). Also included is a mechanism to project the simultaneous pixelated color to create a color field display on a viewing surface (20). A further mechanism (18) moves the color field display relative to viewing surface (20) to provide at least one of color or resolution increasing wobulation or both.
Abstract:
A display system (100) includes a light source (120), a spatial light homogenizer (210), and imaging optics (134). The spatial light modulator (130) has a plurality of modulator pixels.

Abstract:
A method of displaying an image with a display device (26) is provided. The method comprises receiving image data (28) associated with an image (12), generating a set of three sub-frames (30Q / 30R / 2530 / 2630) using less than all of the image data, and alternating between displaying the set of three sub-frames in first, second, and third positions, wherein the second position is spatially offset from the first position, and wherein the third position is spatially offset from the first and the second positions.
Abstract:
The present invention is drawn to solid freeform fabrication systems and methods for producing three-dimensional objects. The system can include build material (14) configured to be deposited in layers to form a three-dimensional object; and support material (16) configured to be deposited adjacent to the build material for supporting the build mataerial during formation of the three-dimensional object. The support material can also be configured to form a feature (18) that imparts a predetermined proeprty within the three-dimensional object.
