Color Tv Patents (Class 348/803)
  • Patent number: 8934059
    Abstract: An application for a bezel with internal lighting includes at least one illuminated element situated behind a monitor/television bezel. The brightness and color of the illuminating elements and hence the bezel appearance are modified based upon either user preference or an internal or external parameters such as time, content being viewed, recording status, etc.

  • Patent number: 8233098
    Abstract: A system (600) for performing gamut compression or gamut extension by transforming an input color (608) of an input image defined within a first gamut (102) into a reproduction color (610) of an output image for rendering by a reproduction device capable of rendering colors within a second gamut (104) different from the first gamut. The input color has an input chromaticity (C1) and an input lightness (Z-*) together forming an input point (202) in a chromaticity-lightness plane. The reproduction color has a reproduction point (210) in the chromaticity-lightness plane, wherein an absolute difference between the input lightness and the output lightness is a decreasing function of at least the chromaticity. An absolute difference between the input chromaticity and the output chromaticity is an increasing function of at least the chromaticity.

  • Patent number: 8061853
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to image display devices and display position adjustment systems and methods. In one example, an image display device includes a control unit configured to acquire one or more characteristics of optical images. The control unit is configured to designate, based on the acquired characteristics of the optical images, one of the optical images as a reference image and the remaining number of the optical images as non-reference images. A position change unit moves the non-reference images in accordance with a pixel position of the reference image.

  • Patent number: 6008868
    Abstract: The construction of display devices often involves the replication of a single pixel design a large number of times. Full color display devices are often constructed on the principle of utilising multiple primary colors in order to form a final destination color. Previously, the degree of complexity of the pixel arrangement devoted to each primary color was substantially the same. The present invention discloses devoting a variable degree of complexity to each primary color in a pixel layout depending on the perceptual response of the human eye to the particular primary color. For example, there is disclosed a pixel arrangement having red, green and blue primary colors wherein substantial complexity is devoted to the green primary color with a lesser complexity devoted to the blue primary color.

  • Patent number: 5694180
    Abstract: In a projection system for projecting a video picture composed of picture points on a screen with at least one light source which emits a light bundle and can be varied in intensity and with a deflecting device which deflects the light bundle to illuminate the picture points on the screen, a transformation optical system having at least two stages is arranged between the deflecting device and the screen and is corrected according to the tangent condition so as to be free of distortion. The transformation optical system has at least two optical stages. The first optical stage produces an intermediate image plane which is imaged on the screen by means of the subsequent optical stage (s).
