  • Publication number: 20230296879
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described for mitigating or eliminating distortion patterns (such as those caused by one or more high-volume audio sources) in a display system such as a laser projection system. Frequency components of an incoming sound that correspond to one or more resonant frequencies of an optical reflector of the display system are determined to exceed a defined volume threshold. Responsive to that determination, a magnitude and phase of one or more harmonic motions of the optical reflector are measured. Sound waves are generated to destructively interfere with at least one frequency component corresponding to the resonant frequencies of the optical reflector.

  • Patent number: 11756510
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for generating, processing, assembling, and/or formatting data for display are described. Example display controllers are described in which image data is stored in a framebuffer, and a compositor selectively retrieves portions of the image data. At least one P-operator produces lines of intermediate P-operated data by performing at least one intra-line operation on the image data retrieved by the compositor, such as repeating or reordering pixels of the image data. A Q-operator produces a stream of pixel data by performing inter-line operations on the intermediate P-operated data, such as interpolating between lines of the P-operated data. A display is driven according to the stream of pixel data.

  • Patent number: 11647168
    Abstract: There is provided a method including obtaining an initial spatial coordinate of a pixel of an image to be projected. The method may also include generating a pre-warped spatial coordinate associated with the initial spatial coordinate. The pre-warped spatial coordinate may be calculated as a sum of a value of a warp path function at the initial spatial coordinate and a delta. Moreover, the method may include outputting the pre-warped spatial coordinate.

  • Patent number: 11558589
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for driving projectors are described. The actual area projected over by a laser projector for a given pixel may not exactly match a desired projection area for the pixel, especially at edge regions of an image. In the present systems, devices, and methods, projection data is provided for at least one image to be projected by a laser projector. The projection data can include sets of alternative data sections at edge regions of the at least one image, effectively increasing resolution for the edge regions of the image. Depending on a projection pattern being used by a laser projector at a given time, select alternative data sections can be projected which closely match the actual area covered by the projection pattern, improving image quality.
