Abstract: A projection system (400) capable of projection alignment includes a projector (410), a shaped projection screen (420), one or more alignment marks (425), an image sensor (430), and a processing unit (440). The projector is configured to project an image. The shaped projection screen is configured to receive the projected image and display the projected image, the projector having a projection area (415) on the shaped projection screen. The one or more alignment marks are proximate to a border of the projection screen. The image sensor is configured to capture an image of the shaped projection screen and generate a sensor signal corresponding to the captured image. The processing unit is electronically coupled to the image sensor and configured to receive the sensor signal and determine the positions of the one or more alignment marks based on the sensor signal.

Abstract: A system for human interaction based upon intention detection. The system includes a sensor for providing information relating to a posture of a person detected by the sensor, a processor, and a display device. The processor is configured to receive the information from the sensor and process the received information in order to determine if an event occurred. This processing includes determining whether the posture of the person indicates a particular intention, such as attempting to take a photo. If the event occurred, the processor is configured to provide an interaction with the person via the display device such as displaying a message or the address of a web site.

Abstract: A display system includes a switchable display screen comprising a first transparent substrate, a first transparent conductive layer disposed upon the first transparent substrate, a second transparent substrate, and a second transparent conductive layer disposed upon the second transparent substrate. The display screen further includes a polymer-stabilized cholesteric texture layer and spacer elements disposed between and in contact with the first transparent conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The display screen comprises a plurality of addressable regions, each region capable of being switched from a transparent state to a diffuse state.

Abstract: A system for projecting changeable electronic content across multiple display surfaces. The system includes display surfaces arranged at a non-zero angle with respect to one another, such as three orthogonal display surfaces in the corner of a rectangular shaped product container. Changeable electronic content, including video and digital still images, is converted such that, when the projector receives and projects the content to the multiple display surfaces, the content is displayed undistorted to a viewer.

Abstract: A transparent display is disclosed that includes a display screen. The display screen includes a first film that includes a first transparent conductor disposed upon a first transparent substrate and a second film that includes a second transparent conductor disposed upon a second transparent substrate. A first polymeric liquid crystal composition containing spacer beads is disposed between the first film and the second film. At least one of the first transparent conductor and the second transparent conductor is shaped, or at least one of the first transparent conductor and the second transparent conductor is patterned. Also, disclosed is a display system that includes the disclosed display screen and an illumination device for projecting light onto or through the display screen. Finally, a method of constructing a display screen is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of reducing crosstalk for a 3D stereoscopic display using locally stored crosstalk profiles. The method generates a crosstalk profile for a stereoscopic display and stores the crosstalk profile in a memory, such as the EDID or DID, locally associated with the display. The crosstalk profile includes information for reducing crosstalk in the display based at least in part upon operational characteristics of the display. The method retrieves the crosstalk profile and applies the information in the crosstalk profile to stereoscopic content displayed on the display in order to reduce crosstalk in the displayed content. Using a locally stored crosstalk profile provides for crosstalk reduction tailored to a specific display.

Abstract: A system for projecting changeable electronic content, such as video or digital still images, onto a curved surface. The system includes a housing, a reflector within the housing, and a projector. The housing has an exterior surface and an interior space. At least a portion of the exterior surface is a curved display surface capable of displaying electronic content projected upon it, and at least one portion of the exterior surface has an aperture through the exterior surface to the interior space. The projector is located proximate the aperture for projecting content through the aperture to the reflector. When the projector receives converted content and projects the converted content through the aperture to the reflector, the curved display surface displays the converted content undistorted to a viewer. The system can also provide for display of branded content on a product container having a shape corresponding with the brand.

Abstract: A method of zero-D dimming backlights for 3D or multi-view displays using right and left image data. The method receives right and left pixel luminance values for the right and left image data, and it remaps the right and left pixel luminance values using a factor based upon an average luminance value or based upon a luminance percentile value or a modified factor that further includes the absolute difference between left and right pixel luminance values. The factor or modified factor are selectively used to remap particular right and left pixel luminance values based upon a disparity consideration. The method results in power savings by dimming the backlight without perceptible or substantial loss in brightness of the display.

Abstract: A system for projecting changeable electronic content, such as video or digital still images, onto multiple surfaces. The system includes a projector, one or more reflectors, and at least two display surfaces. The projector via a reflector projects content onto one of the display surfaces and either directly or via another reflector projects content onto the other display surface. The display surfaces can be multiple curved surfaces, multiple planar surfaces in different viewing planes, or a curved surface and a planar surface. For the curved surfaces, the projector receives converted content and projects the converted content such that the curved surface displays the converted content undistorted to a viewer. The system can also provide for display of branded content on a product container having a shape corresponding with the brand.
