Abstract: Image defects are compensated by determining correction values based on an array of predetermined correction values based on display measurements. A correction value for a selected pixel is obtained by horizontal and vertical interpolation using the predetermined correction values. The computed correction values correspond to gain or offset corrections that are applied to input image values by multiplication or addition, respectively. Interpolation is based on predetermined correction values associated with a zone or subzones of a zone, or on an rate of change of an interpolation increment per row or per column.

Abstract: Display systems include display drivers that receive digital video data and retain digital pixel values corresponding to a row of pixels of a display panel. The retained digital pixel values are digitally compared with a digital count produced by a digital counter and at a transition time determined by the comparison of the digital pixel value and the digital count, a data ramp signal is applied to the pixel. The data ramp signal is configured to be time varying so that the transition time at which the data ramp signal is applied to the pixel can be used to establish a pixel voltage corresponding to a desired image value. In an example, digital pixel values corresponding to a first row of pixels are processed so that the data ramp signal is applied to each pixel of the first row at transition times determined by the digital image values associated with each pixel.

Abstract: An optical projector is described that orients its optics engine preferably vertically within an enclosure that is higher than it is wide or deep. The invented optics engine uses a prismatic cube for color separation or beam splitting, with the prismatic elements within the cube being secured within a durable frame that mounts the three color light valves, e.g. twisted nematic liquid crystal display (LCD)-type shutters, in a predefined position and orientation relative to the prismatic cube. In order to improve image quality and brightness, especially of the notoriously difficult-to-reproduce green color, red ahd blue beams are S polarized, as is conventional, but the green beam is P-polarized.
