Patent number: 11961431Abstract: The disclosure describes aspects of a display processing circuitry. In an aspect, one or more displays that support multiple views include one or more arrays of pixels, one or more backplanes, and a processing circuitry configured to receive one or more data streams, control processing of the data streams based on policies from which to select a mode of operation, each mode of operation defining which rays of light the arrays of pixels in the displays are to contribute to generate a particular view or views and the tasks to be performed by the processing circuitry to modify the data streams accordingly. The processing circuitry further provides signaling representative of the modified data streams to the arrays of pixels through a circuit configuration of the backplanes for the arrays of pixels to contribute the rays that will to generate the particular view or views. A corresponding method is also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Gordon Wetzstein, Andrew Victor Jones, Tomi Petteri Maila, Kari Pulli, Ryan Phillip Spicer

Publication number: 20230274481Abstract: In a digital image annotation and retrieval system, a machine learning model identifies an image feature in an image and generates a plurality of question prompts for the feature. For a particular feature, a feature annotation is generated, which can include capturing a narrative, determining a plurality of narrative units, and mapping a particular narrative unit to the identified image feature. An enriched image is generated using the generated feature annotation. The enriched image includes searchable metadata comprising the feature annotation and the plurality of question prompts.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Samuel Michael Gustman, Andrew Victor Jones, Michael Glenn Harless, Stephen David Smith, Heather Lynn Smith

Patent number: 11694605Abstract: A display system includes (i) a plurality of picture elements supported on a single semiconductor substrate and (ii) a backplane including electronic circuitry supported thereon and electronically connected with the picture elements. Each picture element includes a light steering optical element and an array of light emitting elements. The array of light emitting elements includes a first set, a second set, and a third set of inorganic LEDs that (i) are monolithically integrated on the single semiconductor substrate and (ii) emit, respectively, light at a first, a second, and a third wavelength, which are mutually distinct. The light steering optical element is configured for steering the light from the first set, second set, and third set of LEDs in a predetermined direction. The electronic circuitry is configured for individually driving each light emitting element of the array of light emitting elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Gang He, Richard Peter Schneider, Jr., Andrew Victor Jones, James Richard Dodd, Jr., Joseph Hsiao-Tien Han

Publication number: 20220321870Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of a partial light field display architecture. In an aspect, a light field display includes multiple picture elements (e.g., super-raxels), where each picture element includes a first portion having a first set of light emitting elements, where the first portion is configured to produce light outputs that contribute to at least one a two-dimensional (2D) view. Each picture element also includes a second portion including a second set of light emitting elements (e.g., sub-raxels) configured to produce light outputs (e.g., ray elements) that contribute to at least one three-dimensional (3D) view. The light field display also includes electronic means configured to drive the first set of light emitting elements and the second set of light emitting elements in each picture element. The light field display can also dynamically identify the first portion and the second portion and allocate light emitting elements accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Gang HE, Richard Peter SCHNEIDER, JR., Andrew Victor JONES, James Richard DODD, JR., Joseph Hsiao-Tien HAN

Patent number: 11100844Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of an architecture for light emitting elements in a light field display. In an aspect, a light field display can include multiple picture elements (e.g., super-raxels), where each of the picture elements has a respective light steering optical element and includes an array of light emitting elements (e.g., sub-raxels) that area monolithically integrated on a same semiconductor substrate. The light steering optical element can include at least one microlens, at least one grating, or a combination of both. The array of light emitting elements includes light emitting elements that produce at least three different colors of light. Separate groups of light emitting elements can be configured and a directional resolution of the light field display can be based on the number of groups. The light field display also includes electronic means configured to individually drive the light emitting elements in each of the picture elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Raxium, Inc.Inventors: Gang He, Richard Peter Schneider, Jr., Andrew Victor Jones, James Richard Dodd, Jr., Joseph Hsiao-Tien Han
