Abstract: The invention relates to a microdisplay system that utilizes a small high resolution active matrix liquid crystal display with an illumination system and a magnifying optical system to provide a viewfinder in a electronic image record system such as a digital camera or video camera. The matrix display can be transmissive or reflective using sequential lighting. The system can use an alternating common voltage which allows reduced power consumption. In addition an internal heating system in the display allows the system to be used at low temperatures.

Abstract: A head mounted display system including a high resolution active matrix display which reduces center of gravity offset in a compact design. The active matrix display can be either a liquid crystal display or a light emitting display.

Abstract: A display panel is formed using essentially single crystal thin-film material that is transferred to substrates for display fabrication. The transfer includes the step of transferring the semiconductor regions onto a stretchable substrate. The resulting circuit panel can be incorporated into a display panel with a light emitting or liquid crystal material to provide the desired display.

Abstract: A camera display system displays information via a matrix display element mounted within a housing that is positioned relative to at least eye of a user. The display is connected to a video or image sensor such that the user can view information or images shown on the display. The display can be mounted to a housing so that the user can move the display in and out of the user's field of view.

Abstract: A head-mounted display system displays information via a matrix display element mounted within a housing that is positioned relative to at least eye of a user. The display is connected to a video or information source such that the user can view information or images shown on the display. The display can be mounted to a frame so that the user can move the display in and out of the user's field of view without adjusting the supporting harness that holds the display on the user's head.

Abstract: An active matrix color sequential liquid crystal display has an active matrix circuit, a counterelectrode panel and an interposed layer of liquid crystal. The active matrix circuit has an array of transistor circuits formed in a first plane. Each transistor circuit is connected to a pixel electrode in an array of pixel electrodes having a small area. The display is housed in a portable display device having a docking port for a memory card used to input video data for the display.

Abstract: An active matrix color crystal display has an active matrix circuit, a counterelectrode panel and an interposed layer of liquid crystal. The active matrix display is located in a portable microdisplay system that has a display computer that generates images to be displayed on the liquid crystal display and connected to the active matrix liquid crystal display. A data link transmits data at a rate of speed of greater than 200 Mbytes per second in series for at least a portion between the display computer and the active matrix liquid crystal display. In a preferred embodiment, the display system has a randomizing device that alternates the amplifier through which an analog video signal passes.

Abstract: A monocular head mounted display system in which a matrix display element is mounted within a housing that is positioned relative to one eye of the user to display information. The display is connected to a video or information source such that the user can view information or images shown on the display. The display can be mounted to a frame so that the user can move the display in and out of the user's filed of view without adjusting the supporting harness that holds the display on the user's head.

Abstract: A compact, light weight head mounted display in which a pair of matrix display elements are mounted within a housing. The display utilizes a pair of arms or stems that are rotatable mounted to the housing such that the user can pivot each arm from a folded position into an open position. The arms can be spring mounted onto the housing to secure the display to the user's head and can also incorporate earphones that can be retracted into each arm when not in use.
