  • Patent number: 11695907
    Abstract: A system is provided for facilitating an enhanced video pipeline in order to improve color perception. The system comprises a first source configured to generate a first video stream, a second source configured to generate a second video stream, and a computing device. In this context, the computing device is configured to superpose the first video stream onto the second video stream, thereby generating an output video stream. The computing device is further configured to calculate weighting factors for individual pixels or discrete pixel sets of adjacent individual pixels of the output video stream by analyzing the first video stream and/or the second video stream.

  • Patent number: 10333109
    Abstract: Display structures for displays having spaced-apart light-emitting elements. In some embodiments, a display structure includes a metallic contrast enhancer having apertures corresponding to the light-emitting elements. The light-emitting elements may be, for example, integrally formed with a substrate or packaged elements applied to a printed circuit board. In some embodiments, a metallic contrast enhancer of the present disclosure may be incorporated into a touch sensor that can allow a visual display incorporating the touch sensor to operate as a touch screen. Such a touch sensor may be, for example, projected capacitive, surface capacitive, digital-type resistive, or analog-type resistive. In some embodiments, a contrast enhancer may include one or more permanent graphic elements to enhance a visual display.

  • Patent number: 10325541
    Abstract: Large-format display systems having color pixels and white pixels are disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes a video camera, a video processor, and a large-format display that includes the color pixels and the white pixels. The video processor processes the video signal from the video camera, but the video processor does not perform a white-to-RGB conversion. Instead, the information for the white pixels is sent directly to the large-format display to form the color display image. A viewer's visual system performs the white-to-RGB conversion when viewing the color display image. A method of forming the color display image using color pixels and white pixels is also disclosed. Methods of performing color matching using the color pixels and white pixels are also disclosed.
