  • Publication number: 20240073383
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for optically remapping projected pixels to maximize the utilization and to optimize the distribution of remapped projection pixels to achieve optimal visual performance (generally uniform resolution and luminance). A device interposed between a projector and an imaging surface for optically remapping projected pixel locations with minimal aberration. When this device is interposed between a projector and an imaging surface, it changes the terminal location of each focused pixel such that it maximally coincides with the imaging surface, which is often a surface of complex curvature and very different from the native focal surface of the projector. One implementation of the technology includes a device that uses multiple optical surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20240007756
    Abstract: A method of reducing light pollution in a scene rendered on a display comprises receiving a portion of a scene to be displayed on a display with an initial luminance, adjusting the initial luminance for the portion of the scene to a final luminance based on a light pollution model associated with the display, and rendering the scene to the display with the portion of the scene having the final luminance.

  • Publication number: 20090122017
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device and corresponding method have a user interface for receiving a touch input. The mobile electronic device includes a capacitive sensor having an electrode layer with non-etched away portions and etched away portions, and having isolation areas formed in the etched away portions, and a segmented optical shutter disposed on a side of the capacitive sensor, the optical shutter including a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between a top absorbing polarizer and a bottom absorbing polarizer, and including a reflectance increasing element disposed between the liquid crystal layer and the bottom absorbing polarizer. A reflectance of the reflectance increasing element is selected to reduce a ratio of a reflectance through the non-etched away portions to a reflectance through the etched away portions to make an appearance of the user interface substantially uniform in an off state.
