  • Patent number: 11670250
    Abstract: A decrease in a color gamut in a low gradation region is reduced to improve image quality in a liquid crystal panel. Therefore, a color image signal for a liquid crystal display panel in which a display image is generated by light passing through a rear liquid crystal cell and a front liquid crystal cell is converted into a black-and-white image signal by using a predetermined coefficient. Then, the black-and-white image signal thus obtained is subjected to gradation value conversion so as to become a signal for performing gradation expression in a gradation region set as a gradation range in which a color gamut greatly changes in a case where the front liquid crystal cell is driven by the color image signal, and thus a rear image signal serving as the black-and-white image signal for the rear liquid crystal cell is generated.

  • Patent number: 11640063
    Abstract: Head-mounted virtual and augmented reality display systems include a light projector with one or more emissive micro-displays having a first resolution and a pixel pitch. The projector outputs light forming frames of virtual content having at least a portion associated with a second resolution greater than the first resolution. The projector outputs light forming a first subframe of the rendered frame at the first resolution, and parts of the projector are shifted using actuators, such that physical positions of light output for individual pixels occupy gaps between the old locations of light output for individual pixels. The projector then outputs light forming a second subframe of the rendered frame. The first and second subframes are outputted within the flicker fusion threshold. Advantageously, an emissive micro-display (e.g., micro-LED display) having a low resolution can form a frame having a higher resolution by using the same light emitters to function as multiple pixels of that frame.
