  • Display device with pulsed light source
    Patent number: 8297759
    Abstract: A display system comprising a light source and a plurality of switchable elements, wherein each element is switchable at an element switching frequency in accordance with an element control signal between an “on” state in which light is directed from the light source onto a display, and an “off” state in which light is not directed onto a display. The light source being configured to generate a pulsed light source output at a light source pulse frequency.
    Type: Grant

  • Digital projection equipment and techniques
    Patent number: 7224411
    Abstract: Apparatus and techniques for enhancing characteristics of electronic projection systems are detailed. Included among the techniques are both superimposition of sub-images and tiling of superimposed images, the combination of which can be advantageous in improving resolution of projected images. Pre-modulators and polarizing beam splitters also may be used as parts of the innovative systems.
