Patent number: 6947198Abstract: A large screen emissive display operating at atmospheric pressure includes pixels, the red, green, and blue subpixels of which are excited by UV laser light scanned onto the subpixels by a pixel activation mechanism. The pixel activation mechanism includes three grating light valves (GLVs) that are controlled by a processor in response to a demanded image to modulate the UV light as appropriate to produce the demanded image.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics IncInventors: Joe Morikawa, Ben Russ

Patent number: 6861792Abstract: A variable pitch color selection mask for configured for an image display apparatus. A substrate having phosphor-based red, green, and blue subpixels is covered by a refraction layer. The color selection mask layer is printed onto the refraction layer, with the mask layer being configured to shield the blue and green subpixels from a first beam, shield the red and green subpixels from a second beam, and shield the red and blue subpixels from a third beam.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics, Inc.Inventor: Ben Russ

The pixel activation mechanism includes three grating light valves (GLVs) that are controlled by a processor in response to a demanded image to modulate the UV light as appropriate to produce the demanded image. A refraction layer can be associated with a display such that respective beams are refracted onto red, green, and blue subpixels of the display.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Ben Russ, Frederick J.
