Abstract: Efficient digital compression of 3D/stereoscopic video is achieved by a novel technique in which various views forming 3D/stereoscopic video are coded by utilizing the redundancies among the views. Coding is performed in a manner compatible with existing equipment to allowing decoding of one layer of video for display on normal (i.e., monoscopic) displays. The motion compensated discrete cosine transform ("DCT") coding framework of existing standards such as the Motion Pictures Expert Group-Phase 2 ("MPEG-2") video standard is exploited, and when necessary extended, to result in highly efficient, yet practical, coding schemes.

Abstract: A black matrix structure suitable for use in an active matrix liquid crystal display is described. The novel antireflective black matrix comprises successive layers of chromium oxide, a metal selected from among chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, iron and niobium, a second layer of chromium oxide and a chromium mirror, all of which are deposited upon the front surface of a glass substrate member. An alternate structure includes the same sequence of layering on the back surface of the chromium mirror. The described black matrixes reduce reflectance of incident light to less than 0.5%.
