Abstract: The invention relates to a microdisplay system that utilizes a small high resolution active matrix liquid crystal display with an illumination system and a magnifying optical system to provide a viewfinder in a electronic image record system such as a digital camera or video camera. The matrix display can be transmissive or reflective using sequential lighting. The system can use an alternating common voltage which allows reduced power consumption. In addition an internal heating system in the display allows the system to be used at low temperatures.

Abstract: A display panel is formed using essentially single crystal thin-film material that is transferred to substrates for display fabrication. The transfer includes the step of transferring the semiconductor regions onto a stretchable substrate. The resulting circuit panel can be incorporated into a display panel with a light emitting or liquid crystal material to provide the desired display.

Abstract: A monocular head mounted display system in which a matrix display element is mounted within a housing that is positioned relative to one eye of the user to display information. The display is connected to a video or information source such that the user can view information or images shown on the display. The display can be mounted to a frame so that the user can move the display in and out of the user's filed of view without adjusting the supporting harness that holds the display on the user's head.

Abstract: A passive matrix display device obtains fast response times and high resolutions by fabricating the control circuitry and passive matrix electrodes together as a single monolithic device. The electrodes and the control circuitry are fabricated as an SOI structure on a substrate. The structure is removed from the substrate and transferred to a glass substrate using a lift-off and transfer process. Performance is further increased by incorporating an active addressing procedure instead of standard multiplex addressing.

Abstract: An optical and projection system for viewing images produced on an active matrix slide is disclosed. An embodiment of the viewing system includes a graphic user interactive system in which images generated by a computer are controlled by a remote and are viewed on a viewing surface. The remote can be incorporated into the protective endcap of the active matrix slide. The light absorbed by the thin-film transistors of the active matrix can be reduced by tilting the more heavily shielded side of the thin-film transistors towards the light source. The invention further comprises an active matrix having an array of microlenses positioned to receive light from a light source. Each microlens converges and delivers light in a uniform or desired distribution to a corresponding pixel.

Abstract: An eye tracking system is disclosed which is comprised of an eye tracking module formed of a display joined to a photodetector array. Each pixel in the display is aligned with a corresponding photodetector. An image generated by the display is projected onto a viewing screen or toward a viewer. Axial light rays from the display pixels are reflected by the eye and detected by a respective photodetector which generates an electrical signal indicative of eye position.
