Generally, near seamless electronics displays may be employed in cinema and exhibition applications. Laser scanned displays may be enabled such that the display may display three dimensional (“3D”) content. A first method to enable a laser scanned display for 3D content may employ polarization, with or without polarization conversion and another method may employ multiple colors. Additionally, the envelope function that may be employed across the display may be achieved by changing laser power as a beam is scanned on the screen or by changing the dwell time of the laser beam on the pixels. One method of minimizing the effects of seams in the screen may be to reduce the screen resolution near the seams by screen design and/or laser beam dwell time or illumination energy. 1.

Polarization conversion systems for stereoscopic projection

Принадлежит: REALD INC.

A polarization conversion system (PCS) is located in the output light path of a projector. The PCS may include a polarizing beam splitter, a polarization rotating element, a reflecting element, and a polarization switch. Typically, a projector outputs randomly-polarized light. This light is input to the PCS, in which the PCS separates p-polarized light and s-polarized light at the polarizing beam splitter. P-polarized light is directed toward the polarization switch on a first path. The s-polarized light is passed on a second path through the polarization rotating element (e.g., a half-wave plate), thereby transforming it to p-polarized light. A reflecting element directs the transformed polarized light (now p-polarized) along the second path toward the polarization switch. The first and second light paths are ultimately directed toward a projection screen to collectively form a brighter screen image in cinematic applications utilizing polarized light for three-dimensional viewing. 1. A polarization conversion system comprising:a polarization beam splitter (PBS) operable to receive randomly-polarized light bundles from a projector lens, and direct first light bundles having a first state of polarization (SOP) along a first light path, and direct second light bundles having a second SOP along a second light path;a polarization rotator located on the second light path, the polarization rotator being operable to translate the second SOP to the first SOP; anda polarization switch operable to receive first and second light bundles from the first and second light paths respectively, and to selectively translate the polarization states of the first and second light bundles to one of a first output SOP and a second output SOP.2. The polarization conversion system of claim 1 , further comprising a reflector located on the second light path claim 1 , operable to direct second light bundles to substantially similar locations on a projection screen as the first light bundles.3. ...

The separator includes a barrier portion which blocks image light emitted from the display portion. The barrier portion includes a contour portion which defines a shape of at least one opening that allows transmission of the image light. The contour portion includes a first contour and a second contour facing the first contour. The first and second contours define a continuous opening region inclined at a predetermined angle from a vertical line. At least one of the first and second contours forms protrusions which periodically protrude toward the opening region. Shapes of the protrusions are heterogeneous. 1. A display apparatus comprising:a display portion which displays a first image and a second image different from the first image to create a stereoscopic image by means of display elements;a separator situated away from the display portion and configured to separate the first and second images from each other; andan adjuster configured to adjust a shape of the separator, whereinthe separator includes a barrier portion configured to block image light emitted from the display portion,the barrier portion includes a contour portion which defines a shape of at least one opening that allows transmission of the image light,the contour portion includes a first contour and a second contour facing the first contour,the first and second contours define a continuous opening region which is inclined at a predetermined angle from a vertical line,at least one contour of the first and second contours forms protrusions which periodically protrude toward the opening region, andshapes of the protrusions are heterogeneous.2. The display apparatus according to ...

Provided is an image display system which can assuredly perform collaborative processing such as determination of a fatigue state of a viewer using three-dimensional eyeglasses and an image display apparatus, without increasing system scale, the image display system including: a transmitting and receiving unit included in a three-dimensional display TV which transmits to three-dimensional eyeglasses a specification-designating signal designating a specification which at least includes a data format for a communication signal; a transmitting and receiving unit included in the three-dimensional eyeglasses which receives the specification-designating signal transmitted from the three-dimensional display TV and, according to the specification designated by the received specification-designating signal, converts a biometric signal acquired by a biometric signal sensor into the communication signal, and transmits the communication signal to the three-dimensional display TV. 1. An image display system for presenting a three-dimensional image to a viewer , the image display system comprising:an image display apparatus for alternately outputting a left-eye image and a right-eye image to be presented to a left eye and a right eye, respectively, of a viewer; andthree-dimensional eyeglasses having a left-eye shutter and a right-eye shutter for being worn by the viewer over face or head and setting the left-eye shutter to an open state when the left-eye image is displayed by the image display apparatus and setting the right-eye shutter to the open state when the right-eye image is displayed by the image display apparatus,wherein the three-dimensional eyeglasses include:a biometric signal measurement unit configured to measure a physical state of the viewer to acquire a biometric signal; anda transmitting and receiving unit configured to convert the biometric signal acquired by the biometric signal measurement unit into a communication signal and transmit the communication signal ...
