Patent number: 8416368Abstract: One or more embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus and method for producing an image on a display screen that extends to the pixels or image elements disposed at the edge of the display screen. The display screen has an optical element with a thickness and an index of refraction that are selected to direct light to pixels or image elements disposed at the edge of the display screen without passing through the portion of the optical element that is blocked by a support frame or other structural member disposed on the rear surface of the display screen. Positioning such display screens together into a single screen assembly produces a tiled display having a much less noticeable grid pattern visible to the viewer.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Prysm, Inc.Inventor: Mikhail Kaluzhny

Patent number: 7326915Abstract: A broadband light source, such as a light-emitting diode (LED), such as a superluminescent light-emitting diode (SLED), has its mean wavelength stabilized by using a filter to pass a characteristic of the output of the source, detecting the filtered output, and adjusting a parameter affecting the wavelength of the source, such as drive current or temperature. A Gaussian or near-Gaussian filter can be used to obtain an intensity detection, or two narrowband filters can be used where one filter passes a wavelength greater, and one passes a wavelength less, than the desired mean wavelength.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2005Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: EM4, Inc.Inventors: Mikhail Kaluzhny, Alex Rosiewicz
