  • Mitigation of LCD flare
    Patent number: 8698729
    Abstract: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) flare is reduced by adjusting a backlight to a level where the LCD flare is not visible, and then introducing a simulated veiling glare. The glare is further adjusted by the backlight simulation to hide the geometry (e.g., Light Emitting Diode (LED) array) of the backlight. The reduction is performed, for example, by processing signals for driving the backlight and a front modulator in a dual modulation display device.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 15, 2014

  • Multiple modulator displays and related methods
    Patent number: 8531353
    Abstract: A dual modulator display has a first array of pixels that illuminates a second array of pixels with a pattern of light. The second array of pixels modulates the pattern of light to yield an image. A method for determining control values for pixels of the first array of pixels begins with an initial set of control values and refines the control values. The control values may be refined one at a time. Images may be displayed in real time.
