Waveform Generator Coupled To Display Elements Patents (Class 345/208)
  • Patent number: 11966033
    Abstract: A system and method of generating white light for a projection system in a compact form factor using laser diodes, a reflection system, and a phosphor target. Light emitted from the laser diodes can be directed towards a region of the phosphor target, where the phosphor target is excited and emits light in a desired spectrum in all directions. Some emitted light is collected by a collection lens. The emitted light collected by the collection lens can be combined with light from the original laser diodes to create white light for use in the projection system. Light emitted in a direction away from the collection lens can be redirected to the collection lens by the reflection system that employs a curved reflector on one side of the phosphor target and a flat reflector on the opposite side of the phosphor target.

  • Patent number: 11955096
    Abstract: A display method of a display panel, a display device, and a server are disclosed. The display method divides an initial image into a plurality of sub-frame images having a same frequency, and the frequency of the sub-frame images is a multiple of a frequency of the initial image. The sub-frame images are input into the display panel in sequence and are combined to obtain a target image. The target image is used to drive the display panel to display the initial image, thereby reducing a refresh rate of the display panel for inputting data. Therefore, the display panel can realize low frequency input and prevent frame loss.
