Publication number: 20170293140Abstract: A split exit pupil heads-up display (HUD) system and method. The HUD system architecture makes use of a split exit pupil design method that enables a modular HUD system and allows the HUD system viewing eye-box size to be tailored while reducing the overall volumetric aspects. A single HUD module utilizes a micro-pixel imager to generate a HUD virtual image with a given viewing eye-box size. When integrated together into a single HUD system, a multiplicity of such a HUD modules displaying the same image enables an integrated HUD system to have an eye-box size that equals the same multiple of the eye-box size of a single HUD module. The brightness of the integrated HUD system is maintained while the eye-box size becomes multiple size of the eye-box of a single module. The integrated HUD system can be comprised of multiplicity of single HUD modules to scale the eye-box size to match the intended application while maintaining system brightness.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2017Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: Jingbo Cai, Hussein S. El-Ghoroury, Chih-Li Chuang, Marty Maiers

Patent number: 9779515Abstract: Spatio-temporal light field cameras that can be used to capture the light field within its spatio temporally extended angular extent. Such cameras can be used to record 3D images, 2D images that can be computationally focused, or wide angle panoramic 2D images with relatively high spatial and directional resolutions. The light field cameras can be also be used as 2D/3D switchable cameras with extended angular extent. The spatio-temporal aspects of the novel light field cameras allow them to capture and digitally record the intensity and color from multiple directional views within a wide angle. The inherent volumetric compactness of the light field cameras make it possible to embed in small mobile devices to capture either 3D images or computationally focusable 2D images. The inherent versatility of these light field cameras makes them suitable for multiple perspective light field capture for 3D movies and video recording applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Ostendo Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hussein S.

Patent number: 9195053Abstract: A spatio-temporal directional light modulator is introduced. This directional light modulator can be used to create 3D displays, ultra-high resolution 2D displays or 2D/3D switchable displays with extended viewing angle. The spatio-temporal aspects of this novel light modulator allow it to modulate the intensity, color and direction of the light it emits within an wide viewing angle. The inherently fast modulation and wide angular coverage capabilities of this directional light modulator increase the achievable viewing angle, and directional resolution making the 3D images created by the display be more realistic or alternatively the 2D images created by the display having ultra high resolution.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Ostendo Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hussein S.
