摘要:
A display screen for projected images can act as a touch screen through use of IR sources with homogenizers to create an area of illumination in a plane parallel to and adjacent the screen surface. The presence of a finger or pointer reflects a portion of the illumination to a detector remote from the screen. The detector is capable of identifying the x-y location on the screen of the light spot being detected. In an alternative embodiment in which the use of a finger or other pointing device is impractical, a laser pointer, equipped with an IR source, projects a light spot on the screen whose x-y location can uniquely be determined by the detector device.

摘要:
A compensated higher order waveplate is constructed of substrates. In one embodiment, a first substrate is a nlambda waveplate and the second substrate is a (n+ Delta )lambda waveplate. The substrates are oriented so that their principle axes of retardation are orthogonal. nlambda, is a base retardation of a waveplate and Delta lambda, is an incremental retardation. The incremental retardation produces a desired amount of retardation of a lightwave passing through the compensated higher order waveplate. Retarder material used to produce the base retardation is approximately ½ a desired thickness of the waveplate. Multiple waveplates are combined to produce any of wavelength band specific retarders and multiple non contiguous wavelength band specific retarders.
