  • Patent number: 11579343
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for providing a matte affect while enhancing an output of a display that comprises multiple display pixels, the apparatus may include a first array of microlenses that is configured to scatter ambient light; a second array of microlenses; wherein first array of microlenses is parallel to the second array of microlenses; wherein microlenses of the first array of microlenses and the microlenses of the second array have a dimension of tens of microns; and wherein the first array of microlenses and the second array of microlenses are shaped and positioned to pass through the image from the display, when the apparatus is attached to the display.

  • Patent number: 11372139
    Abstract: An apparatus for projecting content displayed on a display, the apparatus may include a first array of first microlenses that comprise multiple first microlenses; a second array of second microlenses that is spaced apart from the first array of microlenses and comprises multiple second microlenses; wherein a width of each first microlens and each second microlens is smaller than a few times a pixel pitch of the display; wherein the second array of second microlenses is located at a conjugate plane of the display; wherein a focal plane of each second microlenses is located at a corresponding first microlens; wherein the apparatus is configured to project different images of the display that are located at different distances from the display; wherein each image of the display comprises multiple image segments; wherein an optical path of each image segment passes through a dedicated pair of a second microlens and a corresponding first microlens.

  • Patent number: 11131793
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for enhancing display visibility of a multiple pixel display. The apparatus may include: (i) an array of spatial filters that may be construed and arranged to block side ambient radiation. Each spatial filter has a minimal thickness of microscopic scale; (ii) transparent elements that may be positioned between the spatial filters of the array; (iii) a first array of microlenses that may be arranged and construed to focus the radiation generated by the display to provide focused radiation that propagates through the transparent elements without impinging on the array of spatial filters; and (iv) a second array of microlenses that may be arranged and construed to re-collimate the focused radiation to provide an output radiation.
