Abstract:
A display panel includes an array of display pixels to output an image. The array of display pixels includes a central pixel region and a perimeter pixel region. The central pixel region includes central pixel units each having three different colored sub-pixels. The different colored sub-pixels of the central pixel units are organized according to a central layout pattern that repeats across the central pixel region. The perimeter pixel region is disposed along a perimeter of the central pixel region and includes perimeter pixel units that increase a brightness of the image along edges of the central pixel region to mask gaps around the array of display pixels when tiling the array of display pixels with other arrays of display pixels.
Abstract:
A display system (400) includes a display panel (100, 401) having an input to receive pixel data (614, 815), the pixel data comprising a plurality of pixel values, an array (102, 402) of pixels (104, 404) partitioned into a foveal region (110, 210, 310) and at least one peripheral region (112, 212, 312-1, 312-2), and an array controller (105, 405) to group pixels in the at least one peripheral region into subsets of at least two pixels and to control each subset using a corresponding single pixel value from the plurality of pixel values. The display system further may include a rendering system (421) to foveally render a display image based on the locations of the foveal region and the at least one peripheral regions, wherein for each row of the display image having pixels within at least one of the peripheral region, a number of pixel values represented in the pixel data for the row is less than a number of pixels in the row.
Abstract:
A tileable display panel includes an array of display pixels including central display pixels near a center of the array having a center pixel pitch and perimeter display pixels along a perimeter of the array. A perimeter region surrounds the array. The perimeter region includes a first side that is joinable to a second side of another instance of the tileable display panel to form a multi-panel display. The perimeter region has a width that is greater than at least half the center pixel pitch such that a gap between adjacent perimeter display pixels of the tileable display panel and the other instance of the tileable display panel when forming the multi-panel display is greater than the center pixel pitch. The gap is visually masked by increasing a characteristic of the perimeter display pixels adjacent to the gap relative to the same characteristic of the central display pixels.
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 illumi-nation 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 posi-tioned 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.
